Your opinion of the best singer of all time

without deepening the trough of psychoanalysis on myself i'd have to lean a hand for Tom Waits.

he probably doesn't have the range or ability of some others but where he overcompensates is in his expansive delivery. the man has as much character in his voice as his parlour predecessors but in lieu of the egregious honey sweetness that made Sinatra and Newman so unbearable. honestly i find it difficult to believe that his voice is entirely organic (abetted by a healthy dose of whiskey i'm sure).

plus he knows how to write a good fucking song.

Ah yeah, Tom Waits is cool. His voice now sounds like Bob Dylan's in his 60's.

I'm not huge on his voice. I like his songwriting.

Not really, he was a great vocalist. He was one of my 2-3 favorites around 91-92.
