Who is your best male lead vocalist?

[Mannie]

Well...We have chosen the favorite band and favorite guitar player.

Isn't it time for our favorite lead singer?

 

My choices are:

Steve Perry of "Journey". one of my all time favorites . he can range his voice from silky soft to a thousand thunders.

Robert Plant of "Led Zeppelin". The man with an electric guitar in his throat!!!

 

David Coverdale of "White Snake". The roaring man!

 

Ronnie James Dio of "Rainbow". I don't know where to put my finger. I just love him.

 

Ian Gillan of "Deep Purple". in his good days there was no second to him.

 

Last but not least: Freddie Mercury of "Queen". do I need to say why?

 

Cheers.

I think Sting is among the best male vocalists. Also Peter Gabriel.

[WarlordATF]

Ozzy-He still sounds as good live as he does in the studio.

[gumpy]

Frank Zappa

Personal favourites...

 

Thom York of Radiohead.

 

The one and only Morrissey.

 

I like David Bowie's voice too.

 

None of these are "the best" but they do it for me.

In no particular order:

Glenn Fry

Jim Croce

Sir Elton John (Yeah, I know, but the man can sing.)

Harry Connick Jr.

Jim Croce

 

Yes. Definately underappreciated.

Bruce Dickinson Iron Maiden (The ONLY REAL singer... sorry DiAnno and Blaze...)

Fabio Lione of Rhapsody (of Fire...)

Andre Matos ex Angra

Eduardo Falaschi actual Angra's frontman

 

Ops... i forget Hansi Kursch (best performance in Somewhere Far and Beyond album)

Yes have to agree Bruce Dickinson does kick A** And you all may laugh but I am big fan of Ozzy when he was with Sabbath!

[Nesher]

Bruce Dickinson is also a pilot...( i love "Die with your boots on" great song, of course Sonata Arctica's cover is better :D)

Just about anything they cover is great.I really love their cover of World In My Eyes originaly by Depeche Mode and even the Bette Middler cover The Wind Beneath My Wings is cool.All around great band.
