I'm tempted to add Lee Sctach Perry, he has such a distinctive voice but he isn't really a singer in the true sense of the word Yep, I’d go along with that, and I’d add Desmond Dekker in the same category as LSP.

They wanted him to stay but he was intent on a solo career. As a thank you Brian produced the excellent 45 "Guess I'm Dumb" for Campbell. Bruce Johnston then entered the fold and stayed til 1972, rejoining officially in 1979 and forever being My Glove's yes man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him, too, but I can see why some people wouldn't. I absolutely love his singing when he keeps himself in check, but when he goes overboard with his wailing, warbling tremolo he can ruin a good song for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I’ve always loved Anthony Kiedis as a singer, not the most technically proficient but still an amazing tone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billson Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Freddy Mercury is probably my all-time favourite singer/front man. He was one of a kind. Conor Mason from Nothing But Thieves is incredible an incredible singer. Aside from his work with the band, which is always impressive, he did a version of 'somewhere over the rainbow' (Eva Cassidy style) during the first lockdown that was amazing! Kelly Jones is a favourite of mine too. Seen the stereophonics multiple times and he's always excellent but I went to see him at the symphony hall a couple of years ago on his solo tour and was blown away. The venue was perfect for that gig. Eva Cassidy's voice was beautiful. Other favourites include, Bruce Dickinson, Michael Jackson, Simon Fowler, Hayley Williams, early Liam Gallagher (Technically not a great singer I know, but I love his voice on Morning Glory), Kimbra, Samantha Barks, Idena Menzel. The Motown legends of course, Aretha, Otis, Marvin Gaye were all brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I love Sam Cooke's voice, as well as his brother from another mother Steve Perry, although I can take or leave anything by Journey, or Perry solo. I just think he has (had?) an amazing voice that built on Cooke. James Brown Etta James Marvin Gaye Aretha Franklin Johnnie Hartman Robert Cray even though he's better known for his guitar playing.

maqroll Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 A side question for the older guys on here- Who sang the best part on "We are the World"? For me, it's Steve Perry and he's standing there with some real heavy hitters in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was belting along with In the Air Tonight a few nights ago. It's a really unusual and totally original kind of hit song because it is moody and dark and slow from the start all the way until the drums kick in. DeeJays and stations managers must've been flummoxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Einar Solberg (Leprous) Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas etc...) Dallas Green (City and Colour) Billie Eilish Dennis Lyxzen (Refused) Maynard James Keenan (TOOL, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer) Layne Staley (Alice In Chains) Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave) Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) Ninet Tayeb Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) Brian Aubert (Silversun Pickups) Conor Mason (Nothing But Thieves) I am sure there are more, but my mind went blank after a while. I know for a fact I left out some female vocalists that I'll kick myself for forgetting, but that's how it goes I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Salad Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Don't know if he has been mentioned, but I love Neil Young. All his stuff is great and 'Old Man' is one of my favorite songs of all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 One for the old timers, Judy Garland, whilst she did have a very good voice it was also the passion she bought to every performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think Bruce Dickinson was a fantastic singer in his prime. Whether you like the music he makes is up to you but his range and the control he has over his voice is brilliant. I did say that Liam Gallagher technically isn't a great singer, still loved his voice in the 90s though. I thought the discussion was about favourite singers/vocalists anyway, I didn't realise that eyebrow size would be a factor in who I'm allowed to enjoy listening to! Maybe there's some connection between those of us with monobrows! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
