Who has or had the greatest voice in rock n roll?

That’s so subjective.

Dylan before the accident
Lou Reed
Leonard Cohen
early SImon and Garfunkel (harmonies)
Sinatra
Roberta Flack

there are many who qualify

@elbanditoroso -I always like to hear opinions. Is Bob Dylan your favorite?

Man: Freddie Mercury
Woman: Annie Lennox/Alison Moyet

@ucme- AM had a hit in the 80’s. right? How’d it go?

@lucillelucillelucille She had a few, started off in a band named Yazoo.
You might be thinking of this one It’s a cracker!

Okay, I’m sorry that I have to end the debates here.
But there can be no more discussion after I’ve stated that indeed, that’s Elvis.

@ucme -Yep, that’s the one and “Only You”.
I was trying to think of a female vocalist.Maybe Ann Wilson but I like Amy Winehouse a lot. Pop? Rock? idk

@lucillelucillelucille Search for “Winter Kills” by Yazoo.
If you like moody, that is.

@rebbel – I never got into Elvis much but I’ll take this version of one of his songs :)
Re Winter Kills-I remember hearing that one somewhere before :)

@lucillelucillelucille Okay, so these blokes did a cover of Only You…it makes my teeth itch!

@ucme -I expected Erasure.
Were they in the same band together -the singer from Erasure & AM?

Heino.

Kurt Kobain or Chris Cornell

The obvious answer is Biz Markie or Efrim Menuck.

@lucillelucillelucille No, but the keyboard player, Vince Clarke, was in both bands & Depeche Mode too for a brief spell…you see how much you learn here?

Freddie Mercury
Jon Bon Jovi
Janis Joplin

Laura Branigan

Male:Freddie Mercury
Runner Up: Roger Daley

Female: Annie Lennox
Runner Up: Tori Amos

I think Freddie Mercury had the best range. I always liked Rod Stewart as well. He had a bit of a raspy voice (the best description I can come up with), but he used it to good effect. For a woman, I’d have to go with Aretha Franklin. She always brought the feeling into it.

Her

Him
Do Brits understand him when he talks?

And them

The music is good, but check that ass.

My personal favorite was Freddie Mercury.

I guess I vote Chris Cornell.
But. It’s a tough one.

Jim Morrison.

There are a lot of great voices being mentioned here. It think that indicates how lucky we are, to have so much talent out there to choose from.

@kritiper

“Jim Morrison.”

My brother and I agree.

Morrison, was jazz….

Freddie Mercury

Elvis sucksssss…

Daltry (of The Who), not Daley.
Darn spellcheck.

@Patty_Melt—Love CAGYL

Meatloaf—when he could still sing.

That would be personal preference, but I guess you could measure it with album sales that might tell you.

@cookieman Might want to check that again, It’s Daltrey

@ucme: GAAHHH!!!

Easy big boy, got to watch those stress levels!

Buddy Holly

It’s a tie-

Jon Bon Jovi
Check out the last chorus

Lady Gaga

Great voice. Other stuff too.

^^ I think Lady Gaga is amazing her stage shows are a bit strange for my taste but she truly has a great voice.
Bon Jovi is great to not the best but really good.

I have to draw the line at Jon Bon Jovi with a piece of duct tape across his mouth.
That band is in my top five list of bands that enrage me. Lol

@lucillelucillelucille :-(

@chyna -My sister loves him. There has got to be a name for that voice affectation. It drives me nuts.;)

Lady Gaga is very good.
I was shocked when I first learned she did duets with Tony Bennett.

@Patty_Melt – I liked that one too as well as Amy Winehouse’s duet with him.

Choice bit. Two thumbs up.

You know, I didn’t see it on anybody’s list, but Bowie had a great voice.

As did/do Kate Bush & Adele

I meant to include him on my list. I got lost in YT.
You know, he never thought himself a good singer.

@seawulf575 Bowie was great but to a small group of individuals I think it’s just opinion,unless you go on album(CD) sales.
And are we going from solo artists or can we name bands as well?

@SQUEEKY2 This is an excellent example of Bowie’s range

@SQUEEKY2 -Sure
@seawulf575 – I agree.

@ucme -Kate Bush?

@lucillelucillelucille I know you must have heard of her & so that must be an exclamation of shock yes? :D

@ucme I have and I am surprised. Her voice is distinctive.
I’d be runnin’ up that hill to escape it lol
