          Yeah, he's really good. Kind of a throwback to real singers.

          I'm starting to wonder if some of the people in this thread can tell the difference between somone with a hit song as opposed to somone who can actually sing. Those two don't always go hand in hand. Just cause they have some songs we like doesn't mean they can sing at all.

            and there are a ton of good singers who couldn't be a front man to save their lives.

                I also like

                Michael Matijevic - Steelheart (Writer/singer of the song We All Die Young on the movie Rockstar)
                Ahh, forgot about him. I have their CD on my desk right now (I'm a hair band freak). Outstanding range, too bad he wasted it on such crappy music. Their song "I'll Never Let You Go" was pretty good for a glam ballad. I also forgot to mention Sebastian Bach from Skid Row.
                I like pie.

                            he is definately one of the very best rock and roll voices of all time

                            Plant
                            Rodgers
                            Tate
                            Bach
                            Rose

                            all great

                                  More singers....


                                  Roger Daltry
                                  Steve Perry
                                  Geddy Lee
                                  Roger Waters
                                  Michael Hutchins (INXS)(deceased)
                                  Brad Delp
                                  Marks got that casual voice. It goes well with the music plays. much like every band singer. He gets extra points for playing killer guitar at the same time.

                                        He's very talented and very creative. I heard an album he did with just his voice, was freaky, definitely not something i'd put in my playlist.

                                                    i love david bowie, cant express how much ... one of the greatest of all time, i have damn near every cd and im not talking greatest hits, but put him next to freddie mercury ... nah. If were talking about the best singers, i wouldnt put him. this coming from one of the biggest bowie fans on earth
                                                    Let him who hath understanding reckon the WISDOM of the TOOF!

                                                      I love Bowie (even if he didn't event glam <g> ) too but the question was about a band and whilst he played with bands he is more of a guy with a band backing him.

                                                        Definitely. But he should borow a voice from somwhere cause he never had one.

                                                          I can't listen to an entire album of either of them, the more eccentric they get the more it just gets on my nerves. But they are great singers, in terms of range, energy and song writing. Just doesnt get me off.

                                                              Now im wondering what defines a great singer. I'm sure quite a few factors. Seeing huge generation gaps in the replies. At the end it's just personal preference.

                                                              rock on
