      Greatest Vocalists
      Jan 29, 2022 01:15:36 am
      There's many fantastic singers that have recorded music but who do you think are truly among the greatest?

      This popped into my head as I was flicking through some music this evening and went back to this band for the first time in a while.

      Quite possibly the greatest female vocalist of all time for me and unique.

      After Delores, I'll throw in Freddie Mercury.

      We can then pretty much end the thread :laugh:

      Oh my, what a great thread idea Si. Apologies if I keep cropping up here! At the moment I can't look any further than Michael Stipe. My all time favourite vocalist and a genuinely great one to boot as well. I absolutely love that he unleashed his full powers from the late 80s/early 90s of REM's career. At its best such icy clarity, vulnerable but with so much power. Beautifully melodic and melancholic as well. I love the guy!

      Eddie Vedder
      Freddie Mercury
      Mike Patton

      And for me, my favorite of all time is Chris Cornell

      On the female side has to be Dusty Springfield or Ella Fitzgerald. Sorry, I’m dating myself.

      Not the greatest vocalist of course, but I recently heard Eye of The Tiger without the music, just acapello version, and never appreciated how good the dudes voice was who sang it.

      Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder.

      Would agree with the rest.
      Nobody did it as well as Freddie Mercury or Dolores O'Riordan.
      Zombie is still as searing as it was when it came out originally.

      I quite like this cover though

      Freddie is the obvious one.

      But for me I always loved the wee man Ronnie James Dio.

      His voice never changed through his 50 years in the industry, sadly passed away with cancer 2010.
