ok. i'm not usually doing these, but i haven't seen this poll here. so give me your top5 vocalists, and why.
some of my favourites include...
mike patton (faith no more, mr. bungle, fantômas, tomahawk, solo) - versatility! perfect control over his voice/no control at all, caffeine freak... his mad. i'm mostly impressed w/ mr. bungle & fantômas.
jeff buckley! - i can't express it... perfect voice, great songs, *emotion*...
tom waits - versatility again... like all different characters... and how deep can a voice actually be? "the black rider", "swordfishtrombones" & "mule variations"...
plankton - ok... you don't know this guy, hes an finnish underground mc & producer and the only hiphop musician that i really love. i got this [rare] tape that's unbeliviebly down, depressed, slow, fucked up but somehow incredibly beatiful.
björk - beautiful... original, expressive voice. i like "homogenic" & "vespertine".
oh well i also like dennis lyxzén (refused/t.i.n.c), maynard james keenan (tool, apc), curt cobain (laugh if you want), thom yorke (radiohead)...
why am i doing this? i've never wrote this much here... damn i'm tired.

David Gilmour- Oh baby, I'd go gay for THAT voice. Not. But he still sounds fucking awesome. Wish HE sang all their stuff, not Roger Waters.
Serj Tankian- He makes System of a Down sound a lot better than they are, I LOVE all the fancy little things he does over the course of a song.
John Lennon- Well, it's a given.
Paul McCartney- Ditto.
Maynard James Keenan- listening to him now, he be sexy.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young- they make me shiver when they harmonize, yowza. And Young has this nice quivery voice.
Brian Wilson- his voice is just amazing... nuff said. So much emotion in Pet Sounds!
James Hetfield- go ahead, laugh.
Fran Healy- Go ahead, rape and murder me and slice my body up into bits, I don't care. I like his voice.

yeah, Massive attack are all excellent / the way the singing is more rhyming talk at times__its like conversation....with Tricky Kid as he was known then.
I respect more vocalists who wrote their own music. Its more from the heart really... so I guess that makes Bob Dylan great although many believe his weakness was his voice. Thats a bit negative IMO. Go easy on the old boy :

yeah, I agree 010101. if they can connect with you in the same way that good music can. hearing Fraser sing on "Group Four" and the way her fragile voice lilts and cracks, like a dove with a broken wing...sends a chill down my spine and brought me to tears a couple times.

Yeah baby, vocalists. I never really expected this topic to come up around here, so I'm pleasantly surprised.
Now seeing as a few of my top 5 are pretty popular, I expect some of you will turn up your noses and smirk at me, but I like who I like, whether popular or underground...
-Fleming ___ ? (from Fleming & John) -Gwen Stefani (mmm) -Thom Yorke (lots of feeling, I like that) -Ben Folds (again lots of feeling, and just kind of fun, ya know? like he doesn't care if he sounds good, he just sings when he feels like singing)
-Rosemary Clooney (my oddest on the list. but you really can't beat those old chicas... i've been trying to sing like her since i was old enough to watch White Christmas.)
There you have it, my top 5 =)
