Vote 4 the best crooners

Out of the music I listen to, the 4 I would choose would be:

1. Freddie Mercury (Boxxi will back me up on that one )
2. Bruce Dickinson
3. Rob Halford
4. Devin Townsend

Bunbury is the best around -> He is a innovative spanish composer and singer
Sheryl Crow -> He is... is...
The singer of Fisher (i don't know her name)

Freddie is one of my favs too. Alongwith Sting (though I still think that some of his best work was with The Police). Though John Lennon heads the list for me.
But most of all, I like Asha Bhonsle, though not many must have heard about them outside India (Asha is the one who sang with Code Red and who inspired the song 'A Brimful of Asha'). She has the seductive voice of a siren, if there ever was one...

/me listens to black metal mostly, whose 'singers' aren't exactly known for their vocal talents

Billie Holiday, Maria Callas, Gary Moore

1: Freddie Mercury (untouchable in my opinion)

2: Gary Cherone (used to sing with Extreme. Great rock voice)

3: Justin Currie (singer from Del Amitri, Scottish Band)

I really can't think of a voice that affects me more than Mr.Mercury's.
I also quite like Darren Hayes voice, he is the guy that sang with Savage Garden, and now has a solo career.

Truly, Madly, Deeply...

By the way, I live in Mr. Mercury's city...

I believe he was born in Zanzibar, (though I don't know if it is still called that) and spent his last years in Geneva, Switzerland. So which one do you live in Ashu?

I kind of like my singing in the shower..

yeah but his hometown is in Mumbai

all Parsis r from Mumbai. He was a Parsi...

I thought his parents were from the Moravian sect. Is that the same thing?

JM is at it again, he is Adonis reincarnated

maybe, these guys fled Iran and reached the western shores of India and settled there. There are now less than 100 thousand of them and almost all live in Mumbai

Mumbai, better known as Bombay

Peter Gabriel..Lloyd Cole,,Kate Bush. It's kind of like The WindowsBlinds question,,eh? It could go on forever. We are all so blessed to be living in a time and way where there is so much art.So much to choose from.And it's all astoundinly good!,,,,,and Nick Hexum and SA Martinez,just ta slip two more past the goalie,,

brazil, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush are two of my favorites also!

Yeehaw!! JM33,,quite possibly the best this planet will ever hear,IMHO,the new PG is fantastic,,a little dark and slow,but when it rocks,,It getz freakin down.Tony Levin on bass and the rest of the Gabriel regulars.I miss Kate,,this whole Tori Amos thing I am not gettin it,,KB did it 15 years ago,same thing different time.Kinda of like everything else in the scene today I guess.

Peter Gabriel is God, and Tori Amos is a wannabe Kate Bush!

Shawn Phillips
Joni Mitchell
Steven Stills
John Kay (Steppenwolf)
Natalie Merchant
Damon Johnson (Brother Cane)
Dido
Dave Matthews
err... what's his name (Our Lady Peace)
Donald Fagen (Steely Dan)

Some real good ones there, Mr. K!

Joni Mitchell is soooooooooooooooooooooooo incredible!!! I love her like my sister.She very recently spoke about the music industry and what it meant to her.Her next record will be her last with any record company.She said if she can figure out how to do it with the internet she will,,but as for the music biz shez done.Lets not forget the best of the best,, Todd Rundgren!!!

TODD!!!!!

JM33,,do you have the Interociter on your machine??It is Todds VPN kinda thing.It is a lot of fun.He and Joni need to have sit down cause Todd is God and has been running circles around the record industry for years.I saw Peter on the Security tour,,it really freaked me out!!
