A bit late... OK, In my defense, I was going to do this last night, but I fell asleep.

For the sake of a little stylistic variety:

Robert Owens

Karl Hyde

(must be something about bald guys and house/techno?)

And of course:

DOOM

Jason Shevchuk.

best voice for a punk band I've ever heard. So abrasive yet carries melodies and the best "whoas" out there.

To be honest, Hendrix didn't have the best singing voice ever. It worked with the stuff he played, but it wouldn't work with stuff like, oh, say, Les Misérables.

Speaking of which, Gary Morris, a country singer who also starred as Valjean in Les Mis, is a total hero.

*pssst!* He's already been mentioned!

Oh, oops. Shite. My bad.

Claudio Sanchez - Coheed and Cambria. Their new album is pretty blah, but good God can he sing. Lush hair too.

Craig Owens - Chiodos. A bit emo sometimes, but he has a nice voice.

Tom Gabel - Against Me! Nothing too flashy, just good old punk vocals.

And an honourable mention to Anal Cunt's Seth Putnam, who I can't be bothered to find a picture of. I don't particularly want to Google Image 'Anal Cunt', funnily enough.

I can't believe I mentioned Sam Cooke and Levi Stubbs, but forgot about Wilson Pickett:

For the love of god, if you want to know what soul singing's all about then listen to "Danger Zone".

Also, I didn't mention him before 'cause I thought it was kind of obvious, but now I realise that's a silly reason. Mr. Otis Redding:

Patrick · « **Reply #65 on:** 17 Oct 2005, 06:02 »

"Danger Zone"? Er, you mean that song in "Top Gun"?

Kid Modernist · « **Reply #66 on:** 17 Oct 2005, 11:26 »

Most of mine have been said before, so I'm going to forgo the pictures:

Bob Dylan
Robert Smith
Paul Simon
Nick Drake
Conor Oberst (Shut up, he's cool in my book)

You can love or hate the politics of Bad Religion. However one aspect of the bands legend is undeniably superb, the smooth lyrical stylings of lead man Greg Graffin. With a strong and passionate voice packed with harmony and melody listening to any Bad Religion is a delight to the senses. So turn on, tune in, and drop out and you may find his voice is so great that there may in fact be a god.

What, as in 'A Spanish Guitar' or a specific make? Because if you're talking about all Spanish guitars, I'm going to have to beat you to death with an elephant-penis whip.

And this is a really rubbbish photo of him playing the City Ground, Nottingham, England. I post it only because I was there. Wheeeeee REM are awsome live.

What an ugly bugger he is with that painted face. Damn. Good voice though, yeah.

Has Dave Grohl been mentioned before? I love Dave Grohl

Wayne Coyne's voice may not be my favorite, but it is pretty unique, and should be adored and enshrined as a cultural institution.

But if we're talking favorite male vocalists overall, then I've got to say Juan Diego Florez

and Bryn Terfel

Can't find a good picture, but Mark Paffi, the singer/screamer of Bear Vs. Shark is one of my favorite vocalists. He's one of the only screamers I can stand, and he has an alright singing voice. I don't ever have to mention the awesome vocal rythm technique.

Amos Lee has a cool hat. I don't, however, know what he sounds like. To google! (Because of the hat mostly).

[edit]Dude, that man can sing. Thanks for dropping the name, I reckon I'll look him up further.

A specific make. I love _decent_ spanish guitars. Hell, the object of my musical worship, Jimmy Page, taught himself how to play guitar on an old Spanish.

I love my Robert Johnson. His voice was so original for delta blues--everyone else was deep and meaty. His was more high-pitched, and soooo nice.

As for Donny and Macca. . .what can you do? The Captain had an intense vocal range ("I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby" is AMAZING) but Paul McCartney was just plain smooth.
