OK...Best Male Voice

[70rr-brian]

Since I recently did the female voice I would like to see opinions on best male voice. For my money, while not necessarily what I would call the best music, Frankie Valli had the best male voice.

 

[1972 Coronet]

I'd like to add :
- David Bowie
- Tom Jones
- Rozz Williams
- Iggy Pop
- Teddy Pendergrass
- John Lee Hooker
- Ian Curtis
- Justin Hayward
- Mike Pinder
- Denny Laine
- Lou Reed
- Rob Tyner

Too many to list or favour :headbang:

 

[moparstuart]

I voted freddie but really my top favorite is Robert Plant , with maybe chris cornell as a second choice .

 

[1971RR]

I'm gonna go with Bruce Dickinson.

 

[DART340H]

YES BRUCE DICKINSON IS GOOD IM A IRON MAIDEN FAN FROM WAY BACK! UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!:icon_weed:::headbang:

 

[shag766]

this is OFF the wall, but; Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis

 

[YY1]

Rob Halford.

Same criteria as Ann Wilson.

 

[68X426]

Nat King Cole.

All discussions begin and end with him.

Stop laughing and go listen.

My personal favorite is Tom Waits.

 

[theman440]

Hands down, Michael McDonald.

Frankie Valli, Nat King Cole, Al Martino, Mel Torme, Wayne Newton (I'll probably get some comment on that one) and the Man, Bobby Darin all are at the top of my list as great singers.
I've always liked listening to a guy who could sing really well with a big band.
I saw Wayne Newton, when he was only about 15 or 16, at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. I'll always remember that show cause he worked so well with the band. I commented that he will be a big star and not all of my friends shared that opinion. I saw Bobby Darin several times and he was the same way. He was and still is, by far, my favorite.
( besides he married Sandra Dee and she was somethin'!!)

The very best voice, though, I've got to say Jerry Vale.

He would be my second. With Dennis DeYoung my third. Sorry the choices were so limited, I could only add 10 options. Lots of greats mentioned so far.

 

[brandon64]

How bout Jim Croche

either your talking about jim Croce, the singer of "bad Leroy brown" or I'm not sure who your talking about

 

[Satellite65]

Geoff Tate / Queensryche ?
Freddie Mercury would definitely rate high on the list.

 

[Meep-Meep]

I'll agree the old timers mentioned are definitely in the top ranks. Also Tony Bennett should be in there somewhere. I think I should include Art Garfunkel, Glenn Campbell, Josh Groban (not my kind of music but the guy can sing), Crosby, Stills, Nash, and I like Neil Young but I'm sure most won't agree. For rock I have to say Ronnie James Dio! :headbang:

 

[Big Jim]

Bon Scott!
