music Your favorite vocalist(s)?

[Derpaholic 1,155]

So, as a singer myself, I admire many great vocal talents out there, and I was just wondering what some of the other people's favourites might be.
My personal top tier is as follows:

1. Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam)



2. Jim Morrison (The Doors)



3. Layne Staley (Alice in Chains)



4. Ville Valo (HIM)



I'm a baritone, myself, so I guess that's why I tend to gravitate towards baritone, and baritone-ish voices.
What are some of your own favourites?

Haha just kidding. He hates when people say he sings good.

 

 

Eddie Vedder is probably my favorite.

[ReGen 1,466]

The first one who comes to mind is Bebel Gilberto. Oh gosh... I loooooove her voice.   

 

 

Oh, and of course I couldn't forget the legendary Romanthony!

I enjoy The Kite String Tangle as a vocalist (He's rather new, haven't figured out his real name)

And of course, Jeff Buckley

No one can stand up to Jeff Buckley, like seriously. When he sang a song, he owned it. Edited August 4, 2014 by Dawn Rider

Heh I'm going to look like an idiot 

[Zygen 6,066]

I'm just going to say Freddie Mercury from Queen. Because honestly he is pretty darn good, and well, I don't really know a ton of other vocalists by name anyways. (I don't keep up with the names of famous people most of the time ;p.)

[King 5,626]

Yuna for sure. She's an amazing vocalist too.

[honk friend 1,987]

Marco Hietala (Nightwish, Tarot)

 

Rob Swire (Pendulum)

 

I can't really think of any more atm :{

[Jeric 46,883]

Elle Fitzgerald - One of the most haunting voices ever to be recorded.

 

[Guest90210 3,569]

Chester Bennington and Jonathan Davis are my favorite vocalists. They have incredibly powerful voices

[King 5,626]

Aubrey Ashburn is pretty amazing. Tell me you dont think this is beautiful...

[crisahys 149]

I had to go for Corey Taylor (Stone Sour/Slipknot) as my favorite singer. Still going strong for him.

[UCD 75]

Tiny Tim, Layne Staley, Les Claypool, Jhene Aiko, Trent Reznor, Freddie Gibbs, Curren$y, Cyhi Tha Prynce, Brotha Lynch Hung, David Draiman to name a few.

[Tanner 186]

Jared Leto has gotta be my all time favorite.

[ShadowPirateX 600]

David Draiman (Disturbed).

 

And Benjamin Burnley (Breaking Benjamin).

 

If this was also a "What are your favorite bands" thread then I have already answered that question.

Adam Lambert came to mind straight away.

[UCD 75]

Wow I forgot Frank Ocean. That mans voice is like butter for your earlobes

[Omega Centauri 317]

1. Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne)

 

2. Ronnie James Dio (Dio and Black Sabbath)

 

3. Axl Rose (Guns n' Roses)

 

4. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)

 

5. Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)

 

No real order.

[Raritas 6,820]

Sharon den Adel from my favourite band Within Temptation has a fantastic voice. Along with the metal themed music they produce it works so well!

 

 

There's also Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters, one of the most talented musicians I can think of

 

[Sugar & Sins 156]

• Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge)

Matt Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold)

Brent Smith (Shinedown)

Benjamin Burnley (Breaking Benjamin)

David Dreiman (Disturbed)

Jason Moreno (Drowning Pool)

Ryan McCombs (SOiL)

[Hovershy 3,816]

Chris Cornell for sure! His vocal range is just insane!

 

A few of my other favorites would be Maynard James Keenan, Layne Staley, and Les Claypool.

On the other hand, Benjamin Burnley does kind of look like Neo from The Matrix.
