Favorite Voice...

[notchreturns]

I'd have to say Maynard James Kennan of TOOL.

Listening to the man on CD is one thing, but actually hearing him live is not of this world...

[blitzkrieg]

A-fuckin-greed. Maynard has the most kickass voice ever. I just remembered now that I have to get my Salival CD burned real quick cause its getting real scratchy.

I also would want to hear Roger Waters from Pink Floyd.

[Romero&Juliet]

My favorite voice is probably Odetta;s.. A trained opera singer urned Blueswoman in the fifties..

I swear, the woman could shake a Freaking house with her voice...

Kate Bush is pretty cool too. :) COOOOOOOO~!

Like I said, only the first 4 are in order - cuz there's no way Paul Simon would be at the bottom of a list.

[I_am_the_way(HR]

my favoret voice has to be Corey Talor from Slipknot and Stone Sour

As far as Female Singers go, I love Gwen Stefani, Aretha Franklin, Faith Hill, Pat Benatar, and Mary J Blige's vocies.

For Male Singers I love Gavin Rossdale (Bush), Nat King Cole, Lenny Kravitz, Steven Tyler, Barry White, and Ray Charles's voices.

Richard Patrick from Filter has the best singin' screamin' voice I've ever heard. An honorable mention is that Chester guy from Linkin Park...I think his voice is almost as amazing as Richard's.
