Which Male Singer do you think has the best voice?

[SWScorch]

Devin Townshend
James Hetfield
Freddie Mercury
SOAD guy

I'm not too fond of Maynard James Keenan's voice. I mean, its definitely not painful to listen to, but I just think there are far better.

No joke. He does have one heck of a voice for his size.

But there can be only one:

Barry White.

"I can't get enough of your love babe"

i vote for David Ryan Harris

 

[kehi]

James Taylor, Eric Clapton?

 

[clamum]

Of the last 20 years? This is definately biased but Glenn Danzig's voice kicks ass.

 

[wfbberzerker]

m. doughty (lead singer of soul coughing)

 

[0roo0roo]

josh groban-sings pop opera etc, amazing voice
povaratti(sp) - well obviously
elton john -not bad
the piano man- not bad again
frank sinatra -can't beat this fellow

i can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

i've never heard of any of the ones in the first post though.

This is a really tough one....

really really tough..

Hmm....
best voice for what?

Among the most notable are:
Joe Cocker
Bob Dylan (sorry, but I can't stand his voice though)
Peter Gabriel
Roy Orbison <--- probably gets my vote
Geddy Lee (of Rush)
Sting
and I can't believe no one has suggested Bono yet. (and I don't mean Sonny)

 

[Banana]

Based on god-given mutant talent: Roy Orbison.

Yeah, I like two of his songs. Two weeks ago, I downloaded a "Rick Astley Megamix" song, and it sucked.

I really don't know what I was expecting tho.

I mentioned Dylan *and* Bono up above.

 

[idNut]

I think Maynard is overrated, I'm a fan of ohGr (ogre from Skinny Puppy). I think his vocals pwn Maynard.

 

[DrPizza]

You're right.... I missed the Bono... I got to Dylan, cringed, and went to the next post. But, as much as I hate Dylan, I have to admit he's got quite a voice.

Hey, how about Barry Manilow?

 

[hdeck]

phil from pantera has an awesome voice. his range is amazing.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth.

lots of nice male voices..

taylor, clapton.. nah.. he sings ok but his guitar has the beautiful voice.. jackson browne, j.d. souther has (or had..) a wonderful voice.. jon anderson.. great voice.. not the most beautiful, maybe. pavorotti, bocelli.. beautiful voices. orbison.. yeah.. willie nelson, the voice of america.. sinatra, sure.. and that new sinatra.. um.. what's his name.. harry connick? nice voice.. I love elvis costello.. mandy patinkin.. lots of men out there with great voices.

I'm gonna stick with freddie mercury, though. he sure could sing.

In the last 20 years. To me it's a toss up between Maynard James Keenan, Layne Staley and the guy from SOAD.

No poll, because there would have to be endless nominees.

i'd second maynard and serj, plus add thom yorke, jonsi (Sigur Ros), mike patton, the duo in The Blood Brothers, and the lead singer for Cursive.

oh damn, i forgot garfunkle, from simon and garfunkle. his voice isn't what it used to be, but back in the day, he had the most pure, golden voice around.
