This sounds so fresh...I wonder why Jeff Beck just doesn't put her in the band and make a CD and tour...
Jeff Beck with Imogen Heap;

Jeff Beck with Imogen Heap;
another Jeff Beck with Imogen Heap..
they kinda rock out on this one...but again, so fresh sounding.
Anselmo
Tate
DIO
Mercury
Hetfield
Mercury might be single greatest rock vocalist of all time and I dislike Queen.
Mine, in no particular order:
Jeff Buckley
Beth Gibbons - Portishead
Jeff Martin - The Tea Party / Armada
Maynard James Keenan - Tool / APC / Pusifer
Ian Kenny - Birds of Tokyo / Karnivool
Honourable mentions, because seriously - ONLY five!? Impossible!
Thom Yorke - Radiohead
Trent Reznor - NIN
Florence Welch - Florence and the Machine
This thread just goes to show you that vocal talent is subjective. I think some of the people listed are simply awful. But I think I'm a bit of a vocal purist (sang opera in college), so I really don't like nasally, gravelly, lazy voices. Don't get me wrong--I don't sit around and listen to opera all day.
And, of course, the best ever:
kd lang is amazing, vocally. I haven't really liked her music since she got popular (around the time of that ing "Constant Craving" song), because she lost the country quirk that I found interesting, but her voice is still beautiful.
Yeah, I hated that song, too.
Freddie Mercury
Lou Graham
Steve Walsh
Dio
wynona judd
Emilio
so many others who I really enjoy listening to but this what I thought of this second
I can't believe I'm the only one to list Geoff Tate
cant argue with anything listed here..
Bump.
Was thinking about this today. My list is close to the same...except I forgot Billy Ocean...but everyone else did too. Shameful tbh.
Jon Foreman is another good one...especially his acoustic stuff.

Marty Robbins. I grew up on his gunslinging ballads. My dad is a huge fan.
This is about as good as it can get. A Robbins set would have this, the above and El Paso/Big Iron.Marty Robbins
Mixing Robbins you'd want....
Jack Greene
David Houston
Hank Snow
Ferlin Husky
Johnny Cash
Conway Twitty
Sonny James
Lefty Frizzell
Porter Wagoner

Two of the great voices and songs, pretty much forgotten today except those like myself.
What's a perfect fit, it's gotta be....

pretty impossible to make this sort of list without including mercury
i approve of otis redding
There are a lot of gospel singers and bluegrass singers with some serious vocals. But most....who???
Avante hits it here. Yes, this is pure perfection.
In order, I'd say:
1. Frank Sinatra
2. David Ruffin
3. James Brown
