Freddie Mercury, even if it's an obvious choice. He just has a great range, and the actual sound of his voice is wonderful.

For some of my personal favorites, you can't go wrong with Brian Bell, and the backing vocals of John Frusciante.

Frank Black and let me tell you why, when it comes to versatility he is one of the most diverse singers ive ever heard, he could write you a pop rock hit like Velouria or even a folk hit like Llano del rio and while his voice doesn't have alot of range or is particularly pretty his knowledge as a musician makes up for it and not only that, he created his own signature vocals that weren't based around a refined voice but rather about the mannerisms of language.

The perfect example of those vocals he created is this song.



Now, objectively i recognise he's not the best singer ever but to me he is and it's because like him i wasn't blessed with an angelic voice but he showed me that despite that i can be a good singer if i find my own voice and fearlessly indulge it.

And let me tell you something, im not the only one that recognises this.



You all can disagree with this if you like but me and Bowie know what's up.

Personally, I love Paul Rodgers, it doesn't matter what mood I'm in, I can always listen to his music. However, of all times - I honestly don't know where to begin. Jon Bon Jovi? Mick Jagger? Roy Wood? Hughie Thomasson? Jim Morrison? John Lennon? Freddie Mercury? Etc. etc.

Even if I could narrow it down right now (or after spending hours doing charts and lists) ask me again in twenty minutes and I'd have to start all over.

However, you can never go wrong with Roger Daltrey.

One of these names really doesn't belong with the others.

Well, I would say "eye of the beholder" but the images that the phrase generates in my mind are more disturbing than I would have thought. Unique, to say the least, just as each and every one of those men are. So, for me, they all really belong because at one point or another, they've influenced my life through music. Hence, depending on the situation, they were great.

Now, if I can get the image of an eyeball shoved into an ear out of my mind (by sharing, apparently), I'll continue to consider them the greats without the very recently accompanying "ear-ball" nausea.

Freddie Mercury. The best singer by far, his range and pure power can never be topped. The lows and highs of his voice, the emotion, and feeling. Never can he be surpassed.

is not my favourite, but i think that Bruce Dickinson will be one of the best ones.
