_Laurie_ Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I think one of the best voices for Rock-n-Roll would be Roger Daltrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I love The Who, and I think that all four original members are essential to that mix, but I am no particular fan of Roger as a singer. Can be a bit strident; some of my fave Who moments are more peaceful, and often have Pete on vocals. But then again... "Love Ain't For Keeping" is perhaps the sweetest, loveliest of all Who songs, and I do believe that's Roger out the front, so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about ;-) See ya, LeeBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Have you ever heard the version of Love Ain't For Keeping that appears on Odds & Sods? It's got Pete on vocals, and I much prefer it to the one on Who's Next (though that one's great too of course). I was sure I'd uploaded it to youtube, but I can't find it. I might upload it later today. EDIT: Here you go, I uploaded it: Love Ain't For Keeping (Odds & Sods) I like Pete's voice too, by the way, up until and including Who's Next. I don't know what happened then, but it just got worse and worse. Edited November 17, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ooh yeah, thanks Seeker, that's great. Nice and raw! Have you got Pete's version on Lifehouse Chronicles? Mellow... See ya, LeeBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 No, I don't... do you? It'd be great to hear that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_mostwanted Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I`d add Tom Jones to the list as one of the best male voices. He would only be beaten by Elvis Presley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yes! I love Tom Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Tom Jones, whom I'll agree has a wonderful voice, said his favourite singer/performer of all time was Elvis Presley. I agree with him. Ironically, Mr. Presley said the same about Mr. Jones! Never Been to Spain ~ Elvis Presley (1972) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 These are the male voices I enjoy the most~ Alex Chilton Chris Isaak Don Henley Eddie Vedder Frank Sinatra Jim Morrison Johnny Rivers Lionel Richie Marvin Gaye Robert Plant Roger Daltrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doors Lady Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 My two favorite voices are both baryton voices: Jim Morrison Jeff Martin (The Tea Party) And a third choice: David Bowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've got to give an honorable mention to mister Ozzy Osbourne. He can't form a complete sentence without mumbling but damned if he can't light up a stage with his excellent, one-of-a-kind voice!

greendaddy43 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I've got to agree with the post that started this whole thread and say Freddie Mercury. I can't think of another singer who was as unafraid to test his voice with so many different types of vocals (and pull them all off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyRoad Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) I'm like the majority here, hard to pick just one Robert Plant Mick Jaggers Freddie Mercury Steve Perry Eddie Vedder Eddie Money Mick Jaggers Vince Neil Joe Elliott (Def Lepard) Jon Bon Jovi Bruce Springsteen Elvis Presley John Lennon Paul McCartney George Harrison Sammy Hagar David Lee Roth Bob Seger Edited April 23, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 GypsyRoad, you've a great ensemble, hope you won't mind my critique... Robert Plant... sissyboy Mick Jagger... top shelf vocalist Freddie Mercury... one of the best of all time Steve Perry ... wonderful, thoughtful vocalist Eddie Vedder... down-to-earth husky voice Eddie Money... great voice and also does tricks with his mouth Vince Neil... hollow, very thin lyricist Joe Elliott (Def Lepard)... mediocre at best, the soundboard was Elliot Jon Bon Jovi... sucks... period>... well, except the perfect song, "Dead or Alive" Bruce Springsteen... great songwriter and very intense vocalist Elvis Presley... the greatest "performer" of ALLTIME John Lennon.... highly overrated to the point of mass-brainwashedness. His lyrics repeated themself like aunt Elma after a night of White Castles! Paul McCartney... One of the best singers of all time as well as the most charasmatic gents I've ever had the pleasure of being in the company with. George Harrison...truly one of the best slide guitarists and a voice that only could be his. Sammy Hagar...wonderful, talented lead vocalist. His demise was when Montrose broke up and he filled in for Diamond Dave(VanHagar). David Lee Roth...the worst singer ever! But, wait, he could rock an audience with his stage presence and true raw talent! Thumb's up! Bob Seger... a true husky voice but I can't quite escape the cornfields which he so eagerly planted.

BlueAngel Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 A few of my favourites, no particular order: - Thom Yorke (Radiohead): a fluent, beautiful and distinctive tenor - Liam Gallagher (Oasis): a perfect blend of brash and soulful with the "ability to hit just the right emotional chord when needed" (AMG). - Freddie Mercury: one of the best vocalists ever with incredible range and ability - Paul McCartney: an excellent voice with great versatility - Tom Chaplin (Keane): another lovely tenor with "rich vocals... as vibrant as any choir" (AMG) - Richard Ashcroft: an earnest and compelling baritone - Jeff Buckley: a rich and majestic voice - Roger Daltrey: at his peak, one of the best rock and roll voices - Morrissey: an idiosyncratic English croon - Ian Brown (The Stone Roses): a voice that is the embodiment of cool, confident detachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
