chinchu Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 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 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Is Greg Lake the one who sings Trilogy? Did he sing in King Crimson?
Foolonthehill Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 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 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 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?
c_s_1987 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited March 12, 2008 by Guest
Tony Baloni Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 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!
daslied Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Tony, I love Tom Waits. He's an acquired taste, to be sure, but once you're hooked...
TW Taylor Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Steve Marriott Robert Plant Plant, definitely. Some others: Mick Jagger Paul McCartney George Harrison Jim Morrison
Shawna Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 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.
Foolonthehill Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 My other picks would be Elton John Paul McCartney
Ombre Vivante Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Bryan Ferry (of Roxy Music) David Sylvian (of Japan) Roy Orbison Chris Isaak Martin Fry (of ABC) Martin L. Gore (of Depeche Mode) Midge Ure (of Ultravox) Jose Jose Smokey Robinson Prince
Otokichi Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 As an Old Folkie, here's a general list: Gordon Lightfoot Jim Croce Bobby Day Ben E. King Michael Martin Murphey Dan Fogelberg Ray Charles Willie K Cat Stevens Mason Williams Harry Belafonte
bluesboy Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 In no particular order - Jim Morrison Chet Baker Robert Goulet Nat King Cole Otis Redding Johnny Hartman Leon Thomas Frank Sinatra Jackie Wilson Then there's the opera singers...
Ken Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 I agree with Bitter Almonds, Roy Orbison. An awesome voice....
phil Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 Brook Benton John Lennon Stevie Winwood Paul Rodgers Jackie Wilson - my fave
