Tarja Turunen - (formally vocalist of Nightwish)
Sharon den Adel - (vocalist of Within Temptation)

lausurpadora | 23-09-2007 18:43

I may have mentioned this before but Jason Wade (Lifehouse) is the greatest vocalist

lausurpadora | 23-09-2007 18:47

Josh Groban is also an amazing singer and Chris Daughtry is pretty good too and the singer from the band Three Days Grace has a terrific voice as well

e80kse | 27-09-2007 18:59

David Galloway, Randy Blythe, Jesse David Leach, James Hetfield

disco__rockster | 23-10-2007 21:57

ok freddie mercury is the greatest singer of all time and i also like james morrison, paolo nutini and i can't forget elvis presley

xellahx | 24-10-2007 20:25

#1 - Maynard, all the way.

The rest aren't in any order...

Amy Lee
Lacey Mosley - maybe not the best voice, but it is very unique and hard to duplicate it...
Jeff Buckley, i really like him
Josh Groban

Rtoolhead | 27-10-2007 04:25

Yeah, somebody mentioned Jim Morrison... Also in my book Thom Yorke, Glenn Danzig and Maynard Keenan.

ALCOHOLIQUE | 11-11-2007 14:45

i dont know about the greatest... but my favorite is thom yorke for his ability to reach and sustain high notes and still sound good. i like kurt cobain too for his screaming. haha.

enigma | 29-11-2007 13:05

I think Jared Leto, Ray Garvey.

Finland_Perkele | 04-12-2007 22:30

Freddie mercury had by far the best male voice ever recorded. Aretha franklin has on the otherhand the greatest female voice.

But then, there are other great ones. David draiman, Tarja turunen, Mika, Michael jackson, Bruce dickinson, Jeff buckley are just a few.

But in the end, how do you know who is the greatest? I mean, if you take someon like Corey taylor, who can growl cleanly and also has a great voice in some other songs. I bet freddie, or jeff couldn't growl like that cleanly. And since that kind of growling is music too and it does take some skill to growl like that cleanly. I do realize that Freddie and Jeff were more talented, or let's say gifted, than Corey. But my point is that it's realy difficult to determine the greatest voice, it's in the end up to ones own opinion.

I think Idina Menzel has an amazing voice

it doesn't really show in her own material though, mainly in some of the Broadway songs she's sung over the years...

I am not a fan of fall out boy, but I read that Patrick Stump is known for nailing vocal recordings in one take, which is fairly impressive.

Adam Duritz (counting crows) greatest vocalist of all time
