Gompers Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Seriously? Some of these really have me wondering. When I think of a good vocalist I think of great control, range, power, and sustain as well as a pleasant, as opposed to grating, timbre. Of course, if you further qualify it to music style, you begin to limit talent. If we simply say rock and roll, and not Pop, you do have some great vocalists listed. My votes go for Lou Graham and Steve Walsh, when they both had their voices in prime mode. Russell Allen is phenomenal when he isn't being to guttural. Rob Halford can have an awesome voice as well. Freddie Mercury is another all-time favorite of mine. For newer rock singers, I think the best new vocalist is Brent Smith of Shinedown, provided he takes care of his voice. I have heard some live cuts where he is too rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Freddie Mercury not in the top 5 list of vocalists is like Comfortably Numb not on the top 5 list of best guitar solos. Since he hasn't been mentioned yet, Corey Glover of Living Colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
