best singing voice
 
it's one of those polls

Best and most distinctive aren't necessarily the same thing. For example, Peter Garrett (Midnight Oil) and Dave Matthews are quite distinctive, but they wouldn't be in my best-of list.

I can't pick just one, but Karen Carpenter would definitely be up there...they say she had perfect pitch.

I wish Tarja Turunen was on the list. She is my fave! I ended up voting for Johnny Cash

lumberjim 11-01-2008 11:31 PM

i can't choose

I couldn't tell you which one is the best, but I'd like to register an anti-vote for Bob Dylan. His voice makes my bowels weak. Only other people should be allowed to sing his songs.

lumberjim 11-01-2008 11:42 PM

early Dylan

Robert Plant for his amazing masterful musicality.

Cash is distinctive, and a close second.

elSicomoro 11-02-2008 12:50 AM

Of those on the list, I had to go with Chris Cornell. I idolized him in high school...Goddamn, that dude can wail. Listening to "Slaves & Bulldozers" by Soundgarden still gives me chills.

elSicomoro 11-02-2008 12:52 AM

Hey, did anyone else read that LZ is threatening to tour without Robert Plant...WTF?!

Crimson Ghost 11-02-2008 12:58 AM

Zoli - from Ignite
Bif Naked
Glenn Danzig
Fergie
Bruce Dickinson - aka The Human Air Raid Siren
King Diamond
Aja Kim (Bruce "Lee" Chickinson)

------------------------------------

Remember, best and most distinctive are two seperate things.

Sting
Bono
Both so distinctive, can make the hairs on my arms stand up.

Neil Finn - has such great range and is effortless in the higher registers.

Christina Aquilera - not my style of music, but man she can belt them out. When she happens to sing a song I like, I really admire her voice.

No Sarah McLachlan? No Frank Sinatra?:sniff:
