bigmarty_34 Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 who in do you guys think has the best voice ever...dead or alive.. My top five are : Freddy Mercury Robert Plant Jim Morrison Roger Daltrey ..and Chris Cornell
MindCrime Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 I like Geoff Tate's high octave vocals; he can sing rock like no other, even though others complain that he ?whines? too much. His early day screaming on ?Queen of the Reich? to the more powerful technique he illustrates during the chorus on "Suite Sister Mary" is phenomenal. Also, the stunning soft-spoken ?Silent Lucidity? really puts an emphasis of prominence on their part. For a band that's been putting out albums for the past 21 years, he has kept his voice in line even to this day.
beatleant Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 I'm not going nostalgic here for I've been playing the crap out of this CD for the last couple of weeks, and I can't stop it!! The band is "Coheed and Cambria" and the singer ... Claudio Sanchez. Man, I can't get over how great his voice is. Want a description? Well, you'd almost think it was Geddy Lee at times but IMO... better. I'm sorry Geddy (I'm a fellow Canuck and I love 'Rush').
bigmarty_34 Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Posted June 23, 2004 they sing the song a "favor house atlantic" right? and yeah his voice definately reminds me of Geddy Lees...very high
No Comment21373 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Great male voices - Dave Matthews (Dave Matthews Band) Travis Morrison (The Dismemberment Plan) Tom Yorke (Radiohead)
beatleant Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 they sing the song a "favor house atlantic" right? and yeah his voice definately reminds me of Geddy Lees...very high Yep, that's the band ... and great tune!! I've been playing their 2nd release (In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3) like I haven't heard music before. My 2 favs for now are - Three Evils (Embodied In Love And Shadow) The Velorium Camper I: Faint Of Hearts There are some clips you can hear on the net but the sound quality is awful. But check them out anyway ... 20k (very low quality) song samples Soundclips - Just click song title
cindy17838 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Bono and Sting have good voices. I also like David Gilmore's voice. I think he's the one who sings on "Us and Them", "Comfortably Numb", and "On the Turning Away". I'm sure I'm not thinking about Waters since he wasn't there for "Momentary Lapse of Reason". Let me know if I'm wrong about this.
MindCrime Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 I'm sure I'm not thinking about Waters since he wasn't there for "Momentary Lapse of Reason". Let me know if I'm wrong about this. Gilmour pretty much did Momentary Lapse of Reason all on his own effort, & he did an amazing job at that.

I'm sure I'm not thinking about Waters since he wasn't there for "Momentary Lapse of Reason". Let me know if I'm wrong about this. 2 1/2 out of 3 is really good For "Comfortably Numb," Roger sings the 1st and 3rd verses while David does the 2nd and 4th. Although Waters wrote most of the band's material (either alone or collaboration with the others), it wasn't until the "Wish You Were Here" album that he was more predominant (lead vocals).
cindy17838 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Gilmour pretty much did Momentary Lapse of Reason all on his own effort, & he did an amazing job at that. I agree. I was just wanting to make sure that it was Gilmore singing.
cindy17838 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 2 1/2 out of 3 is really good For "Comfortably Numb," Roger sings the 1st and 3rd verses while David does the 2nd and 4th. In school I'd get an 83. Now I'm going to have to get out my CDs and see if I can hear the difference. Just heard it. The "when I was a child" verses are what I was thinking about. Art Garfunkel has a really good voice also.
beatleant Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 In school I'd get an 83. Now I'm going to have to get out my CDs and see if I can hear the difference. If this makes a difference ... I had to walk all the way downstairs (for my fact books and other resources) just so I could answer your question correctly. :: Now, I think that deserves a Tim Horton's Blueberry Fritter .... ummm, ummmm, good! But you know, I'm gonna pull out the CD soon just for curiosity ... of all these years I've known that tune, I didn't think much of the vocals (as to who sang).
Jillianne Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 I like Eric clapton Kurt cobain Sting Bono and although He aint my fave, the lead singer of maroon 5
MuzikTyme Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 I'm to assume we are talking rock male vocalists as IMO blacks have the better voice. But, a few off the top of my head in no particular order would be: Roger Daltry Rod Stewart Burton Cummings Freddie Mercury Geoff Tate Bruce Dickinson Rob Halford
Elvish Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Axl Rose was (is?) a talented vocalist. He's one of my favorites. I agree with Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey as well. Also: Tom Petty, Don Henley and (don't hate me) Willie Nelson. ::
Catherine Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Steve Perry Roger Daltry Al Greene Marvin Gaye Barry White Jeff Lynn Ed Vedder Robert Plant Roger Waters Art Garfunkel Paul Rodgers Cat Stevens Freddie Mercury Brad Delp Chris Cornell Mike Love Donald Fagan Eric Clapton
BlackMath729 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 I dont know about "best ever" and I agree with most on this list, and woulndt be able to choose just one, but one guy who is not on the list who very well deserves to be is Layne Staley
freddish Posted July 4, 2004 Report Posted July 4, 2004 Oh good, someone put Layne Staley on the list. I don't know about best ever, because it's mostly just opinion, and also I don't listen to music from a lot of different time periods, mostly just the early 90s. But, my favorites: Maynard James Keenan Layne Staley Chris Cornell Daniel Johns Billy Corgan (I know, he's so nasal/whiny, but I really like how his voice works with his music)
dustin20176 Posted July 4, 2004 Report Posted July 4, 2004 robert plant kurt cobain freddy mercury layne staley tom yorke
kissdeeznutz Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 definitely nobodys forgotten that paul stanley is one of if not the best.........
PaulsJune Posted July 9, 2004 Report Posted July 9, 2004 Paul McCartney John Lennon Eric Clapton Van Morrison
_Annabelle_ Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 My favorites for best male vocals would have to be: - Paul McCartney - Freddie Mercury - David Gilmore - John Lennon - Eric Clapton - Art Garfunkel - Robert Plant Each have their own distinct voice: some convey earnestness or vulnerbility, others have wide range and are conventionally good and all are excellent, powerful singers.
cosmosis Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Pretty much in this order: John Lennon Jim Morrison Robert Plant Bon Scott Jello Biafra
Aunt_Acid Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 David Gilmour, The singer for Yes (I don't know his name), Jimmy Page (he isn't really that great of a singer, but I like his voice), Freddie Mercury. Call me crazy, but I would have to say Roger Waters. He sings with such a precarious and disturbed sound (When he isn't doing that novelty voice like in Nobody Home).
