catherine Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Tommy ShawRik EmmettJack BladesEddie VedderTom Petty I like many of the already named ones as well:Chris CornellSteve Perry I am drawn to a tenor voice too and with the exception of Tom Petty and Eddie Vedder many of the voices I like are in that range. Oh and I love a great harmony too. Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades are so good at that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 There's not a lot of R.E.M. love on this forum, but Michael Stipe is a wonderful singer. Nice range and near perfect pitch. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Best singers? I'll go with Freddie Mercury. Queen had four distinct and diverse songwriters. Freddie's range, cockiness and strength stitched it all together quite brilliantly. I also think Ian Gillan gets lost in the mix. He's an incredibly powerful singer who is pretty much overlooked by many. I know there's a lot of Coverdale preference on this forum, but Gillan helped define hard rock singing. And he sang with the best overall line-up of Deep Purple. That's a little circular though. If you prefer Gillan, you naturally believe Mk II is the best overall line up. Unless you think Glover is appreciably better on bass than Hughes, I suppose. For me, Burn, Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band are Purple's best work.Yeah, I see your point. I love those albums, as well (well, maybe not Come Taste the Band), but the albums with Gillan have a grittier and nastier attitude. I do put Burn on the same level as any Gillan album. For all the talk about "Mk 15,243" with Purple, I'd guess Mk II is what most people think of when you say Deep Purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Unless I have missed it, nobody has mentioned Roger Daltry of The Who. Yes, he was an amazing front man, but as a singer he had a darn amazing voice in his prime and should not be overlooked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
