I really like Michael Stipe's voice of R.E.M. I like how he pronounces words very clearly.

TheDom | 02:25

yeah you can really understand what he's trying to say

Pandora | 02:42

Jeff Buckley

Tabitha i saw one of his albums today at best buy....and i thought of you

(i see your always listening to him on msn)

mikey_boy | 03:29

i dont think i can make a full list but a few you'd have to consider are:

Mike Patton
Speed of Soilwork, dunno his real name
Maynard
Aaron Wiess, he screams and sings with a very unique sound
Shadows of A7X, heard City Of Evil much?

and if i really thought about it some more i'd have some more for you but thats a start.

Pandora | 03:33

aww.. andrew.. haha yea I am... I <3 his music.

In my opinion: (since we're getting all touchy about this)

Brandon Boyd
Brody Dalle
Christina Aguilera (not saying I like all her music, but I do think she has an amazing voice)
Chris Cornell
Jon Toogood

glow_child_glow | 05:22

sorry maybe i was a little rash, but i mean like greatest as in like actually best singer technically i.e range power versatility uniqueness etcc.....

which is why Freddie Mercury and Jeff Buckley are 1 and 2,,,i should really have put Jackie Wilson on that list though...

IronyAndWine | 05:24

I absolutley love Damien Rice's voice, especially paired with a female.

glow_child_glow | 05:33

what immeaning to say is that that was an OBJECTIVE list....subjecvtivity is reserved for opinion, but when making a list of best or greatest vocalists, objectivity has to be put into action(and just so you know, i dont listen to half the singers on that list)

Bloemen | 11:51

Thom York

Bloemen | 11:52

and Tom Mcrae, Damien Rice

stupot | 11:57

Mariah Carey - wen no-one else is around and iim listenin to one of her songs i do try my best to hit all those notes along with her. altho i do of course fail miserably half the time

also, Anastacia knows how to belt one out as does Aretha Franklin...

andrew4762 | 13:33

^ Anastacia

Her and Bjork are the best imo

sarah17 | 13:42

richard ashcroft
chris martin
amy lee
anastacia
mariah carey
sean paul

Coffecup_409 | 16:32

Christina Aguilera, because has a really powerful voice, and even though i like green day i wouldn't pick Billie Joe as the greatest vocalist!!

icefyre | 16:52

top 6 off the top of my head

Tom McRae
Guy Garvey
Samuel Herlihy
Kelly Jones
Thom Yorke
Richard Ashcroft

* offtopic :
if you want objectivity then why did you make this thread at all? you could research some pointless numbers and make your list, which i'm guessing is what you've done with your list at the start...

glow_child_glow | 04:13

uhh....this is a discussion board......

Friend_Jones55 | 04:23

Brody Anderson
Janis Joplin
Steven Tyler
Eva Cassidy
Maxwell
Sade
Whitney Houston

Mos women have a lot more range than men so I picked alot of women I also think women have better voices overall

Friend_Jones55 | 04:27

Damn Aretha, and Billie H. too

glow_child_glow | 08:03

thats not true about women in the least..they have higher voices..

mikey_boy | 08:05

i got 2 more add in's ...

Scooter of Cold
Chino of Deftones/Team Sleep

if you dont have Chino, you're list is crap in my opinion. he is a without a doubt automatic add in.

glow_child_glow | 08:30

technically speaking not even close.....

it seems half the people here arent that clued up about vocals

Hexagram impresses me every time though
