I'm not denying that Bjork shouldn't be on this list.
I just think her voice is kinda weak. The only thing that makes her voice distinct is the instrumentals used in her songs.

That's just my opinion

2. Davey Havok (A.F.I.)

4. Geoff Rickly (Thursday)
5. Drew Speziale (Circle Takes The Square)
6. Frank Turner (Million Dead/Frank Turner)
7. Tim McIlrath (Rise Against)

singer not singers

I saw Audioslave at lollapalooza a few years ago. Chris was chopping at his neck on stage to make his voice do that thing it does int he song "what you are"
Amazing. After seeing that I couldn't deny him a spot on a list like this.

**Seltzer** · 08-09-2006, 01:03 AM

I'm not including metal - if I did, Bruce D1ckinson would kill everyone else on the list.

* Freddie Mercury (Queen)
* Ian Gillan (Deep Purple)
* Mike Patton (Faith No More etc)
* Layne Staley (Alice in Chains)
* John Fogerty (CCR)
* Brandon Boyd (Incubus)
* Chris Cornell (Soundgarden etc.)
* Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam)
* Brad Delp (Boston)
* David Bowie
* Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree)
* Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)
* Bono (U2)
* Axl Rose (Guns 'n' Roses)
* Bradley Nowell (Sublime)
* Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails)
* Jeff Buckley
* Peter Gabriel (Genesis etc)
* John Frusciante (RHCP... he's better than Kiedis)

Ah, meh. I'll do a metal list anyway - not including vocalists who don't use clean vocals much (that's for another list).

* Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
* Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth, Bloodbath)
* Russell Allen (Symphony X)
* Matt Barlow (Iced Earth)
* Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation)
