Favorite Artist's voice
This will be a list similar to the "favorite bands/artist" thread except it's simply the lead singer's voice. I'll list my top five. These aren't necessarily my favorite bands. Contribute who you think has the best voice.
1. Stephen Richards - Taproot 2. Darius Rucker - Hootie and the Blowfish 3. Eddie Vedder - Pearl Jam 4. Hugo Ferreira - Tantric 5. Travis Stever - Coheed and Cambria all awesome vocalists IMO

John Reis from Rocket from the Crypt. His voice is badass cool.
Same goes for Jay Leo Phillips from Apollo Up! I also like Roddy Woomble from Idlewild and Josh Homme of QotSA. |

Ah this is gonna be kind of tough because theres so many great artists out there, but I guess this is what I will go with for now.
Layne Staley-Who didnt see this one coming? Kyo- his sudden changes in vocal range is impressive, plus he has one hell of a scream. Chad (mudvayne) Im more of a fan of his L.D. 50 work, I love how he sounds just insane through his vocals alone. Maynard of Tool- I dont know, something about his voice is just different from every thing else I have heard. J Mann (Mushroomhead) -Just hearing his scream or whatever in Solitaire Unraveling sends shivers down my spine. |

Eddie Vedder, he's almost flawless live.
Michael Stipe is a close second. I also don't mind the vocals on either Beck Hanson or Andrew Falkous.

Cyndi Lauper by too many miles to count. The way she can manipulate her voice is beyond belief.

I wouldn't call myself a fan of his music, but David Bowie knows how to carry a tune.

I can't believe I forgot to mention Perry Farrel of Janes Addiction and Porno for Pyro's fame.
He's by far my favorite vocals, probably a bit whiney but for some reason it works....

Marco Antonio Solis I would have to say has the greatest voice I've ever heard.

Conor Oberst really gets his feelings across, as queer as that sounds. And Meredith Godreau. She's f*cking great.

You forgot Doom.
I think my favorite singer might be James Hetfield (at least in recent years, his singing has improved a lot since the 80's). He has the ability to bring an incredible intensity to a song and make it very very energetic and exciting, while at the same time, he also has those slower, more somber songs where he's suprisingly soulful and graceful with his voice. Sometimes you can even find both in the same track. Either way, he conveys such a great desperation. I think he's an incredibly underrated singer.

ooooh ya! Good pick...I love bright eyes...for some reason Conner Oberst reminds me of this generations Kurt cobain...just some of the simpler songs that still really get to you cause of that sad voice.
