[THE A5]

She seriously sounds like she gotta out of a time machine

 

[IAMDASH]

Vale Renee Geyer... great vocalist!

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Vale Renee Geyer... great vocalist!

Yep, one of our best, very sad

Latest solo effort from Floor Jansen (Nightwish). One of the best female vocalists going around atm IMO. Can sing anything. Saw her live with Nightwish in Melb years ago, incredible.

A couple more

Karen Carpenter. I just love the mellow laidback sound she has. Like butter. Extraordinarily good control of her voice.

Australian Mike Mills from Toehider has a pretty good set of pipes.

[rocker_oz33]

Simply red guy .
Spandau Ballet guy .

Both strong voices.

MIKE PATTON!!!!!!

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

I honestly think Glenn Danzig has the best voice, even in his old age (see below), the range within a sung line.



Ian Astbury from the Cult also has an amazing voice most evident in the latter Cult albums.

Some great singers like Cornell or Vedder etc have a distinct voice and it sounds great, but they dont have the range to deeper emote the ups and downs within a single sung line, like Danzig etc can do.

This is another great display of singing...




Another all-time recognized great singer (tho he didnt have many hits) Benny Madanos. Suspect song, lyrical content, and video, but amazing range shown in this song, again within single sung lines, and moving around on words up/down, or on the back of a meaty previous note (lung capacity too)



Sublime...

LOL. Benny Madanos. "She's just 16 years old - leave her alone - they said". Has to be up there with the most disturbing songs in music history.

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Layne Staley and Paul Rogers both incredibly underrated singers. Both from great bands.

Tim and Jeff Buckley.

I did a thread about pedofilc lyrics in songs ages ago. There were many good examples but someone posted a fhread killer....was a song done for a Disney (no surprise) animated childrens movie from Kidd Rock I think it was....a llne i remember...."it's not statutory, it's mandatory"....sex with underagers

 

[Exe Gesis]

LOL. Benny Madanos. "She's just 16 years old - leave her alone - they said"

Also hilarious....hes slamming the parents as fools and that they dont understand what love really is.....when they stop him from hitting on her.

Also hilarious, Madanos was interviewed about the backgroubd to the song and reckons the line shes just 16 years old leave her alone was something he said to a friend of his over a girl neighbor who frequently hung around where Benny lived, and he talked about how hot she was etc....yeah sure Benny, it was the other dude not you

 

[Exe Gesis]

But, Benny had a great voice before he ruined it with hard drugs and liquor, but he was never able to really do any other songs with any great vocal arrangement, the way you annunciate various words or lines. Why I reckon Glenn Danzig is amazing in ghat regard, over hundreds of songs always great different vocal ardangement.

Btw...talking of pedofiles (some horrendous acts) who had great vocal arrangements and a pretty good voice....Ian Watkins of the Lostprophets. Tho he tried to copy Mike Patton a lot, he still had his own voice when he was being himself instead.

 

[two blue tiger]

Here's a few of the more obscure - but really really talented - female vocalists out there.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Anthony Warlow and some friends.

 

[LeakyValve]

Primarily a fan of the female voice, but always love this dude's voice.
