A quick, unstudied top 12 (but in no particular order, other than #1)...confining this to ROCK/POP music - Freddie Mercury Ann Wilson (Heart) Sting Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins) Matthew Bellamy (Muse) Bono (U2) Angnetha Faltskog & Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Abba) Robert Plant Iva Davies (Icehouse) David Bowie Mariah Carey Michael Hutchence (INXS) :-) |

Also no particular order except #1 Freddie Whitney Huston Mariah Carey Michael Jackson Stevie Wonder Frank Sinatra Ella Fitzgerald More I'm sure. Sometimes it's not about the range of the singers voice, but how the singer puts emotion into it and makes you feel it while singing. I think Freddie did both, and so did others on my list, but not all. |

Just some of my personal favorites. Freddie Mercury Bono Alice Cooper Robert Plant Michael Jackson Bon Scott Elton John Here's a pretty comprehensive list of the best voices. link |

"best voices in the music history ever" Anyone thought of mentioning opera singers (dead and living). C'mon! Even Freddie himself wouldn't have put himself on the top list of best singers ever. Freddie certainly had the best voice of rock/pop singers, but there are so many more genres out there with fantastic singers. |
| Giacco 73 14.11.2004 16:24 |
Here's mine: 1.Freddie Mercury! 2.Rob Halford 3.Ian Gillan 4.Bruce Dickinson 5.Ronnie James Dio 6.Elvis 7.Lennon&McCartney 8.Robert Plant 9.Glenn Hughes 10.David Coverdale At times it's suitable of changes,it depends on the mood apart number one,my dears! |
| Flo Joe 15.11.2004 11:33 |
I think Ronnie James Dio has the most powerfull voice! |

Freddie certainly had the best voice of rock/pop singers, but there are so many more genres out there with fantastic singers.I thought of it, and because of that, decided it would be best to frame my list with a Rock/Pop qualifier (see post above). I don't have a lot of expertise outside this genre, so I decided to keep my ass shut (so as to not start talking out of it). You, on the other hand, made only a broad assertion as to the existence of great vocalists in other genres (DUH! That was quite the revelation!) without giving us any examples... not even one! Any chance you'd like to JOIN the discussion rather than just arbitrarily SCOLD others? |
| NOTWMEDDLE 16.11.2004 01:58 |
Best male vocalists Dennis DeYoung Freddie Mercury Ronnie James Dio Rob Halford Paul Rodgers Bon Scott Roger Daltrey Robert Plant Roger Hodgson Best female vocalists Ann Wilson Tina Turner Aretha Franklin |
| Rael 16.11.2004 03:04 |
I think that others deserve to be in that list too: Peter Gabriel Paul McCartney Jon Anderson Robert Plant (maybe) I'm forgettin names, but well... |
| Another Roger (re) 16.11.2004 04:26 |
Freddie Mercury without a doubt. I dont know any singer that versatile. |
| trustno1 16.11.2004 05:13 |
GonnaUseMyPrisoners: I think it's fairly safe to assume that *all* professional opera singers have better voices than every pop/rock singer listed here. I suppose you could argue over the meaning of 'best', though... |
| Mr Fred 16.11.2004 05:17 |
well here is my top, not necessery in order Freddie Elvis Lennon, Mccartney Jussi Björling (great swedish tenor) Sissel Kyrkjebö (great norwegian singer) |
| Fenderek 16.11.2004 08:51 |
Ronnie James Dio Ian Gillan David Coverdale Glen Hughes Robert Plant Bon Scott Roger Daltrey Freddie Paul Rodgers Roger Waters (I love his voice, sorry) Probably forgot few... |
| The Mir@cle 16.11.2004 08:58 |

| yellownymph 16.11.2004 10:38 |
Freddie has the best voice wothout question. I also like George Michael's and Elton's but the sexiest voice has got to be Simon LeBon's! |

Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor. Who else? |
| Queenette=1 16.11.2004 15:00 |
Roger, Freddie, Brian,&(sometimes John), Celine Dion, Steve Perry, jon Secada, Reba McEntyre, Patti Le Bell, Janis Joplin, Oliva Newton-John, ABBA, and I am sure there is more too, but these are the ones that I remembered right off the bat. Cheers, Queenette |

I'm quite fond of Tony Williams (orig. The Platters lead tenor) however, NO-ONE and I mean NO-ONE is as versatile and breath-taking than the majestic singing talent that is Ivor Biggun. His contribution to music remains unparalleled with the low-talent wannebe's like Mercury barely even touching the same grounds as he did. Truly a legend of our time. |
| Lord Blackadder 16.11.2004 16:14 |
Freddie ABBA ladies (together they sound brilliant) George Michael Robert Plant Mariah Carey Bono Jon Bon Jovi |

just wanna thank simmer for the list, pretty acurate i must add, cos Mr. mercury was obviously the best out of the bunch, also my boy halford came in 8th. i feel that plant is bit overated and chriss cornel should have been second, but that's just me. |
