Best male voice of all time

[chinchu 0]

I know its hard, but I'll put some of the best male voices I've heard, in my opinion...

Freddie Mercury

Elvis Prestley

Bill Medley

Brad Delp

Got another one?? Feel free to put them...

[Tony Baloni 0]

Tom Waits.

[Rayzor 1]

Jeff Healey

[Foolonthehill 0]

Greg Lake

[Tony Baloni 0]

Is Greg Lake the one who sings Trilogy?

Did he sing in King Crimson?

[Foolonthehill 0]

Yes to both of those.

He was a part of King Crimson for their 1969 album "In The Court Of The Crimson King". The group went through a complete line-up change after that, and Lake moved on to form ELP with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer.

I like his versatility most. He can sing both mellow ballads and exciting rock 'n' roll very well. I particularly like his contributions to ELP albums:

From The Beginning

[Tony Baloni 0]

I loved when he sang on Pictures at an Exhibition

"From seeds of confusion, illusion, dark blossoms have grown"

Their lyricist was amazing, I forget his name, but wasnt he the clarinet player from King Crimson?

Definitely Greg Lake

Definitely NOT Tom Waits

King Crimson lyricist Pete Sinfield did write some songs for ELP. That's all I know about other KC members contributing to ELP. I think Greg Lake wrote most of their lyrics.

Yeah, Pete Sinfield is who I'm thinking of.

Haha, Tom Waits was a joke. Although have you ever seen him perform Chocolate Jesus? There's a video of it on youtube. I always viewed him as a joke, but I think I'm actually starting to become a fan of his!

Tony, I love Tom Waits. He's an acquired taste, to be sure, but once you're hooked...

Steve Marriott

Robert Plant

Plant, definitely.

Some others:

Mick Jagger

Paul McCartney

George Harrison

[Shawna 1]

I've always thought the lead singer for Better Than Ezra had a good voice.

I always thought Diamond Dave had a good voice. But he's an idiot.
