Y'all def highlighting the TB demographic with your choices. Haha

Wow TB is OLD

That being said - I’ll throw out Layne Staley as an old - but not quite as old - option. When he sang, his entire body voiced the note. The emotion that only desperation can bring. Tragic life but god what a voice.

I agree. I love his voice. Chris Cornell too.

Can't choose a favorite, but there are a few that I consider staples depending on the mood I'm in and they're all a bit different from one another I guess.

Billy Joel
Karen Carpenter
Dolores O'Riordan
Mike Patton

Darlene Love, Ronnie Spector, Elvis Presley
