definitely got derailed in that respect - some of the "singers" listed are ... ehhhh.
Well, the OP mentioned Cobain.
Based on what? A subjective opinion? There are many people who believe that rapping is a form and a genre of singing. Tupac got mentioned here with no pushback. If somebody is delivering vocals to music—there is no reason why they shouldn’t be included as answers to a question like this.
I understand the sentiment, but clearly some people like the raspy, gritty sound. Whatever your stance on the quality of her voice, she certainly belted out tunes with an abundance of emotion and power. I like Joplin. I don't go crazy for her, but I admire and enjoy listening. But then again, I like Bob Dylan's voice too, so take that under consideration.
I would very much have liked to see what he could have done.
He could have been the next Elvis Costello.
Rapping is a form of rhythmic talking, but it is not singing. Just like growling (like in death metal) is not singing, it is growling. Both rapping and growling are talents, but I don't think either can be categorized as singing.
The OP that started this thread named Tupac in the first post. The context that he was asking the question clearly included rappers as part of the mix. If you want to start a thread about ranking people with the best vocal ranges that died young—that’s a different context than how this was presented. Cobain’s singing skills weren’t amazing in regards to vocal range either—but he’s on his list due to musicianship and perhaps the impact he had on the music scene at the time. I just mentioned Big-E in the direction and context in which the person that started the thread seemed to be indicating.
Totally understand. I wasn't trying to pick on your rapper and ignore the other ones. It's just the thought that hit me when scrolling. No offense intended.
Definitely would have been interested in seeing how his career turned out.
Band really changed when Cetera took over as the main singer, and not for the better.
I would have loved to see where they went if Terry never died. He seemed to be the center of their universe, and Pete seemed to follow him.

Keith Moon technically sang part of Bell Boy from Quadrophenia, so he could loosely be called a singer...if we want to call that gargling singing.
Netflix has a documentary on David Foster, the producer of the 1980's era of Chicago.
You'll be hearing a lot from him in that other thread we're doing.
It was more of a gradual process, but by 1973 almost every single they released until his departure was sung by him. The album tracks were a different story until the '80s.
Here's what I said about that in the other thread. It was part of the long-a$$ band history posts that I put in spoiler tags so as not to annoy people scrolling on their phones.
This is the correct answer. Put on your headphones, click on the link, close your eyes and just enjoy a perfect live performance. Oh, and she's playing the guitar also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rd8VktT8xY She was truly one of a kind who passed too soon from melanoma, of all things.
Musicianship….and Cobain is an oxymoron.
This is the one that comes to my mind besides Cobain as far as fame. Nowell way better singer.
She really soars on this track!
This one stung
It could be considered an objective opinion as well though. I’ve never heard a rap artist called a “singer”, maybe a “vocalist”, and generally speaking rappers are more praised for their rhythm and flow than their actual voices.
That’s my vote.
Saw their second-to-last show at a fraternity party in Santa Barbara the night before he OD'ed.
I would second this guy.
