Just to balance out the bad singer thread. Who are some bands in which in your opinion the singer's voice is very good.
I'll start:
Dennis DeYoung (Styx)-I know he tried to turn Styx in to a Broadway showtune band, but IMO his voice is outstanding. Probably one of the best in all of rock/pop music.
Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Co., etc.)-An all around great singer with a nice soulful voice.
Patrick Stump (Fallout Boy)-make fun of Pete Wentz all you want but IMO Patrick has a great voice. Excellent range and ability especially considering he had never sang prior to joining FOB.

| | | | Something tells me this may end up just like that other thread.
That said, I love Tom york's voice (singer for radiohead).

Chris Cornell gets a nod too

Check out the stuff they put out in the 80s and early 90s. I don't care too much for his voice today, though. He's sounding a bit ragged, age does that to you!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: The REAL LA -- Lower Alabama! | | Axl Rose??? Really?? I'd rather hear a cat thrown into a chipper shreader while he drags his claws across a chalkboard at an Amy Weinhouse concert than listen to Axl Rose. I'd use words like annoying and irritating to describe his voice. Glad you like him though. Quote:

I remember right after he died my aunt said how sad it was and that she really loved his voice. I had always thought of him as a guitar player first but that really opened up my ears to what a good bluesy voice he had.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Indianapolis | | | I'm going to ignore many of the great singers out there and go way out to remind folks about that Bob Dylan guy.
By no means the guy I look to when I feel like a vocals clinic, but consider this : Apart from Jimi Hendrix, who does a Dylan cover without sounding like Dylan. It may not be the nasally tone but the timing, phrasing, and inflection of Bob eventually comes through.
As a singer he always gets his point across, and in the end, isn't that the point?
Sorry to digress, but I think Bob gets short shrift.
So, Daltrey, Plant, Sting, Mercury, Gillan, Dickenson, Lee, Anderson, and a bunch more. |

Oh and Skid Row/Sebasitan Bach. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
