Freddy's ability to convey emotion, and his range was incredible. There arn't many singers that could pull it off like he does.

I'd go as far as there are no singers past or present that have the range, control and emotion of Freddy.Originally posted by Chio The PirateFreddy's ability to convey emotion, and his range was incredible. There arn't many singers that could pull it off like he does.
He could scream a line or deliver it in a perfect ready for the opera fashion.
Most of the singers of the past 30 years have been screamers. There's no competition there.I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

Crack?Originally posted by BattsHe was fantastic, one of a kind, but the best voice in rock went to:

One of my favorite songs of all time is Don't Change by INXS. He had a good voice but I don't think he's is in the same league as Freddy.

I love Freddy, his voice was like gold, but Michael Hutchence to me is the ultimate rock god ever, this guy could run across stage and jump and his voice would still sound the same, it was like silk.Originally posted by Chio The PirateCrack?

Not one of the greatest voices but certainly one of the greatest songwriters ever.

The thing is Batt's, if you listen to INXS, Michael really didn't have much of a range. He could sing decently, convey emotion, but with Michael it was all about his *presence*Originally posted by BattsHe was fantastic, one of a kind, but the best voice in rock went to:




A rock star, yes. A brilliant singer? I don't think so.
I actually think Bon Scott is one of the greater ones, Robert Plant another, Freddy definately up there too.Comment

maybe you did not see all his concerts then, he had many ranges in his voice.Originally posted by r-c-eThe thing is Batt's, if you listen to INXS, Michael really didn't have much of a range. He could sing decently, convey emotion, but with Michael it was all about his *presence*

yeah, sad to see him gone... there was a big stint because MTV didn't really care about his death, they all just shrugged it off like he was a nobodyOriginally posted by MoneyBetsAndyLayne Staley August 22, 1967 - April 5, 2002

Yeah range. Singing well is easy singing well acrossed many octaves, emotions etc is what seperates the freddy's from the rest. Geoff Tate from Queensryche was pretty good back in the day, too many cigarettes fucked his voice though.Originally posted by r-c-eI'm talking musical range. The actual technical ability to sing many notes. That he did not, its all around the same key/octave.

Freddy gets the best voice in rock, just because of vocal range and all the stuff he could do with it.
What about John Fogerty...I sometimes he gets forgotten as a vocalist, but CCR with him on the lead vocals just was one of the best bands ever.See Sig...oh wait.Comment

Met him last year. Very cool guy. I sub contract for a sound and lighting company here in Nashville. Mostly for exercise. Im trained as an uprigger and its hella good exercise. Try pulling an 80 ft chain up about 10 or 15 times a night about 120ft off the ground. While leaning down over a 1.5ft beam.
Its fun work, but havent done much of it this year, too busy.

If we are just talking about voice range and pure, natural vocal talent then of course you have to put Mercury up near the top of the list. He was also a great showman and a great all around front man. But to me an effective singer doesn't need to have a great range. They do need to have range enough to cover the songs they are singing and then need to be able to evoke emotion from the words and captivate an audience. If that is the standard we set I think there are a few people that would rank above Mercury.
Here is my top 5
1. Bono - flat out the greatest front man in the history of rock. He can bring the house down with a crashing song full of noise and effects and sound then the next song can be deep, personal and quiet and he can make a 50,000 seat arena seem like 50 seat club. Bono has charisma in spades which makes him accesible to the crowd.
2. Jagger - in his prime there were few better. The songs are amazing and his voice was solid back then. He is the showman's showman.
3. Eddie Vedder. Maybe the best vocalist in rock. Note I did not say singer. There is a big difference. He doesn't have a huge range, but he has a power and honesty to his singing that few have ever matched.
4. Bruce Springsteen - Again, like Vedder, not a great singer, but a powerful vocalist. When Bruce lays his head back and sings Thunder Road from the back of his throat there is no finer moment in rock.
5. Mercury - for all the reasons I stated above he is amazing. The problem with queen, and I will catch shit for this, is that some of their albums are not that great. They have some amazing songs - some legendary songs. But they also had some real crap.Last edited by kane; 07-31-2006, 01:21 AM.Comment
