Anyway, in my list I would have:

Amy Lee
Axel Rose
John Nolan
Adam Lazzara
Fred Mascherino
Gerard Way
Ian Watkins
Billy Joe Armstrong
Chris Martin

glow_child_glow | 24-07-2005 01:08

is that favourite or greatest? if its greatest, you dont listen to many good singers...almost none infact

Im_Nucking_Futs | 24-07-2005 01:15

Are you talking to me? If you are... let me tell you that I've heard all the singers of your lists and they didn't impress me..
And everyone's opinion is different, so, in my opinion, those are the greatest singers.

MisterKing | 24-07-2005 01:16

Remember we're based on our opinion.

glow_child_glow | 24-07-2005 01:18

didnt impress you?

If theyre your favourites then fine, but not one person on your list has credintials like this

Jeff Buckley

Range:4.5 octaves....A2-Eb6
Power:Not a power singer but live he was almost Cornellesque
Versatility: Most versatile rock singer in history almost no doubt
Uniqueness: Yeha, no one has ever sounded like him at all. (The only person on your list that comes close is Axl but he took his entire style from Robert Plant)
Emotion: dont get me started

i can tell you either have 0 knowledge of good vocals, or have never listened to those singers.

Chrisrocks53 | 24-07-2005 01:21

These are my favourite

Freddie Mecury
Phil Anselmo
Billy Corgan
Maynyard James Keenan
James Hetfield
Bruce Dikinson
Anthony Kiedis
Johnny Rotten
Zach De La Rocha
Chris Cornell
Ozzy Osbourne
Lemmy Kilmeister
Dave Mustaine
Robert Plant
Axl Rose
Steve Tyler

MisterKing | 24-07-2005 01:21

Dude, that's your opinion, it's not a fact. I can say Adam Lazzara is better than all the ones you named, well, to me, he is, maybe not to you, but to me it's the greatest, that's why opinions exist.

glow_child_glow | 24-07-2005 01:23

think is those things can be judged......favourites cant, but greatest can...the best singers actually can sing. Not that you find it sexy or something, but with actually criteria, that matter to real singers, those singers kick the shit out of any singers on your lists......save about, 3 that last list was fine though since he stated they were favourites not greatest,

EnterMetal22 | 24-07-2005 01:23

in my opinion and no order
David Drainman
Ozzy Osbourne
Axl Rose
James Hetfield
Bon Scott
Brian Johnson

EnterMetal22 | 24-07-2005 01:24

forgot to add Dave Mustaine

TylersLuv91 | 24-07-2005 01:25

iunno .. i dont know many

glow_child_glow | 24-07-2005 01:25

oh i didnt think David Draiman would get mentioned, hes a very good singer. A lost gem of nu metal, just like Ryan Martinie

Chrisrocks53 | 24-07-2005 01:26

oh I forgot

Bon Scott
Brian Johnson
Joey Ramone
Ian Gillian
Mick Jagger
Pete Townshend

MisterKing | 24-07-2005 01:26

If I say they're my favorite, that means they're the greatest, to me, right? And I don't find any of them sexy

Im_Nucking_Futs | 24-07-2005 01:26

You asked for our lists and I gave you mine, I've heard all the singers on yours and I didn't like them.. but I'm not telling you that they aren't as good as mine, am I?
There's always gonna be, at least one person who's not gonna agree with you... and you gotta live with it.

glow_child_glow | 24-07-2005 01:27

cugh i give up.....

You mean the singer in The Who? it was Roger Daltrey not Pete Townshend

ignacio | 24-07-2005 01:47

I think Maynard is one of the greatest vocalists

also, I personally think James Labrie is great

FireWaterBurn | 24-07-2005 01:49

Mercury was great, but Gallagher is a close second.

sellittome | 24-07-2005 01:50

Gary Puckett from the 60's had a great voice.

LadyMacbeth001 | 24-07-2005 01:53

Brandon Boyd
Annie Lennox
Anthony Kiedis
Grace Slick (Lead in Jefferson Airplane... Listen to White Rabbit by them)

SteelersFan77 | 24-07-2005 01:55

We never ever know for sure who the greatest vocalist of all time is, because everyone has different opinions...I think that Steven Tyler is the best, and I dont see how anyone can tell me different...

Chrisrocks53 | 24-07-2005 01:55

Thats true I always presumed that Townshend was the vocalists as he writes the lyrics not Daltry
