Yeah that guy was incredibly talented as a writer and performer.
What a terrible loss to the music world to lose him so early in his life. Love Queens music. Ironic he wrote the theme song for Highlander "who wants to live forever". I wish I had seen them in concert.

Chris E · 01-16-2004, 01:11 PM

I will have to copy everyone else and say Freddie Mercury!

Meta Ridley · 01-16-2004, 01:12 PM

I've always liked Cobain - i guess you could classify him as one of the best sounding guys who cant sing ;)

But Freddy Mercury is pretty much untouchable - that guys voice is amazing.

Shok · 01-16-2004, 01:13 PM

I like the crash test dummys singer cause it's unusual

Gwen Stefani -- No Doubt
Geike Arnaert -- Hooverphonic
Kristen -- Delerium
Skye -- Morcheeba

DarkBob · 01-16-2004, 01:21 PM

Katon Depena from Hirax

Monique Niccole · 01-16-2004, 01:22 PM

Steven Tyler

CDSmith · 01-16-2004, 01:24 PM

For pure range of harmony and melodic talent I'd say Elton John.

For pure power and ability to nail high loud notes and still sound awesome -- Deep Purple's Ian Gillan.

others I'd rank high:

Klaus Mein -- Scorpions
Rik Emmet -- Triumph

I like the Morcheeba cd that I have .

The most amazing would be Mercury !

I have seen Plant in concert 3 times.He's good but I never saw him with Zepplin.

The Truth Hurts · 01-16-2004, 01:25 PM

the chick from Evanescence has an awesome voice, plus she's fucking hot.

Scorpions. Now there's a band that sounds like their albums live.

Bon jovi, I liked his voice for vocal power.

Chad Kroeger has a good adrenaline pumping voice for newer guys.

If you really want to listen to a good vocalist listen to some of the the shit Mortician has made (music on intro)

I saw Zepplin for their In from the Outdoors "Albumn" concert.
I'd have to admit I was totally wasted as it was the late 80's, or was it? hehe well if you can remember it you weren't there right?
Anyways, they were awesome! One of the best concerts I ever barely saw. But I do recall the incredible guitar work of Jimmy Page and the awesome range of Plants voice.

Two other great vocalists from back in the day were those two chicks from Heart.

It's all so subjective really. I saw Ozzie with Sabbath during the Black n Blue tour they did with BOC and he sounded great too.

I love Rick Emmet of Triumph but more for the great lyrics and hard pounding rock n' roll.

And the very fist concert I ever went to was Peter Frampton from the Frampton Comes Alive tour. He had a great voice too and did that cool stuff with the voice box on "do you feel like I do".

Past - Elvis
Present - Paul Simon or Trey Anastasio (phish)

Elli · 01-16-2004, 02:57 PM

Robert Plant, David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, Vince Neil. Paul Stanley rocks, too.

Taime Downe is awesome. Female rockers with great voices are Lee Aaron and Joan Jett.

Freddie/Queen

Mark Knophler sp? Dire Straits guy

edit: also most talented tarist.

Pornwolf · 01-16-2004, 03:19 PM

Freddie defintiely. There's really no comparison with the current crop of bands over the last 20 years. He was amazing.

If I had to pick a current band's lead I would say Chris Martin. The rest of the guys like Vedder and Kroeger are good stylistically but they don't really sing, they yell.

sherie · 01-16-2004, 03:21 PM

Axl Rose
Bruce Dickenson
Rob Halford

As a singer he's not in the top 50. As a guitarist I'd put him in the top 10 most definitely.

More singers....

Roger Daltry
Steve Perry
Geddy Lee
Roger Waters
Michael Hutchins (INXS)(deceased)
Brad Delp

Sarah_Jayne · 01-16-2004, 03:45 PM

till the day I die I will be in love with Micheal Stipe's voice and writing.

runners up for me are:

Marc Bolan - T-rex (dead but ruled his era and genre with good reason)
Brian Molko - Placebo
Robert Smith - the cure
David Gahan - Depeche Mode
Feargal Sharkey - Undertones
Paul Weller - The Jam (solo as well but you asked for in a band)

you see how my tastes run ;)

hottoddy · 01-16-2004, 03:46 PM

Definitely Justin Hawkins from The Darkness.

I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

Touching you, touching me
Touching you, god you're touching me
