I have seen this done (a few times) with guitar players, but who do you guys think is the best vocalist ever?

Bob Seger and Joe Cocker are on my list, but best ever. . . ???

Man where to start? In no particular order
  • Tom Waits
  • Elvis Costello
  • Glen Danzig
  • Jack Johnson (new guy but he's ok)
  • Johnny Cash

I know I'll think of more.

Alison Kraus.  Saw her at an intimate little theater this year, and she sings like an angel.  Her band, Union Station, also has a boatload of talent.

Barry Gibb is the best by far, and if anyone here disagrees, you are more stupid than I could ever imagine.

The dead, retarded guy (Maurice) was #2, but Robin passed him when he died.

(Thanks for the info Pred)

Geoff Tate (Queensryche) Definitely # 1.

Some not so close # 2's.

Sebastian Bach (Skid Row)
Jaime St. James (Black N Blue)
Freddie Mercury (Queen)

I could go on, but you asked for # 1.

Pred thinks Barry was the hottest Gibb and I agree.

Andy was a hottie too, but he didnt live long enuff to live up to his full hair potential.

Shaun Cassidy was a hottie also.

I saw a monkey squirt his own pee in his mouth on a video once. And one was slingin' poo.

Good stuff.

I agree with that! She played last year at my companies share holders meeting. I didn't know her music as country music isn't really my thing. But man does that gal got a set of lungs with an unbelievable range.

Steve Perry
Mariah Carey / Whitney Houston - I can't believe the range
Whitesnake Lead dude (Tawny Kitaen's ex) sex-SAY deep voice
Carly Simon - unique
Norah Jones - voice like silk
Natalie Maines - just leave the politics out and she's got one helluva voice
Glen Campbell - just think about it
Don Henley - his voice captures that time frame of the late 70's for me
