        maybe so, but Weird Al isn't someone you plug into the cd player when you wanna hear music that moves you. I'm not sure Weird Al ever "moved" anyone.

                        Toss up between Chris Cornell (formerly Soundgarden) and Geoff Tate (Queensryche).

                        They both have excellent voice range.

                                          in order:

                                          Elvis
                                          Bon Scott
                                          Robert Plant

                                          you can switch one and two at will, but Elvis is The King

                                                    I was getting irritated at this thread until bhutocracy came in with some sensible additions.

                                                    #1 best singer of all time is unquestionably Mike Patton. Don't believe me? Listen to some Lovage: Songs to Make Love to Your Old Lady By. Listen to some songs by Mr. Bungle from the California lp. Listen to Faith No More's Angel Dust. Listen to Dillinger Escape Plan's latest album. Mike Patton's range is phenomenal. He can sing any style, in any voice. He can croon and he can scream, and he can do it all in the same breath. I'd even argue there probably hasn't been a more talented singer in history.

                                                    #2 would be Jeff Buckley. I'm not necessarily a huge fan of his music, but the guy's voice was amazing.

                                                    Tom Yorke (not sure how it's spelled) is also an amazing singer.

                                                    On the other hand, I think Maynard James Keenan is overrated... though he has impressed me with his integrity. Who else with his fame would invite Mike Patton's most experimental bands (i.e. Fantomas) on tour?

                                                                        I prefer to spell "Ozzy" S-A-B-B-A-T-H, his shit has gone downhill since Diary of a Madman, but Zakk Wylde keeps me listening. That guy is fucking insane on guitar and he's got cool voice (Listen to some Black Label Society)

                                                                        Danzig used to sound good, seems the further he gets in his career the more he sounds like a fucking lounge singer.

                                                                        Freddie Mercury had a wicked voice, I suspect getting ass pounded contributed to his range.

                                                                        Frank Zappa had a pretty cool voice, so did most of the other guys that sang for him..

                                                                        Gregg Allman

                                                                        David Gilmour

                                                                                #1 best singer of all time is unquestionably Mike Patton. Don't believe me? Listen to some Lovage: Songs to Make Love to Your Old Lady By. Listen to some songs by Mr. Bungle from the California lp. Listen to Faith No More's Angel Dust. Listen to Dillinger Escape Plan's latest album. Mike Patton's range is phenomenal. He can sing any style, in any voice. He can croon and he can scream, and he can do it all in the same breath. I'd even argue there probably hasn't been a more talented singer in history.
                                                                                - not to mention his lyrics.

Also important in the vocalist is the the creation of the melodies that he's singing in the first place.. do you credit Brian or Carl with the beauty of "god only knows"???

                                                                                        And I will always repect McCartney for his vocal performance in "Why don't we do it in the Road?", even though he's a publicity-seeking, drug free cocksmoker now.

I mean, better than Elvis.
