Poll Closed - Favourite Male Vocalist

[denislawsbackheel]

Rufus Wainwright’s nasal drawl is the same in every single song he sings showing how tediously limited he is vocally.

Feel after reading the first few pages this is gonna be pointless sending a list as people are still gonna vote based on their fevourite genre and bands, not individual vocal talent as most rock/indie/punk etc singers wouldn't make the cut as being tuneful has never been a necessity over the actual composition, most are more remembered for stage presence than their voice.

Lets be honest the classic crooners, easy listsning, classical and a few rock/pop stars can carry a tune but most (bar maybe sinatra ) with get voted for

I mean freddie merciry is a prime example, hands down in the top 3 vocalists in modern music, but already dismissed due to thw band he was in, equally I am sure the same would be donw for George Michael who would make any top 3 on any credible list

I hope you’ll send a list in UG.

There are to many to list 1-10 but anyone with a distinctive voice, if I had to pick one it’s Liam Gallagher still putting himself out there, a Manc and a City supporter. He has sold out two days Knebworth and collecting new fans



Grohl on drums

Oh for sure. I was just surprised no one had mentioned them yet! But you're right about not mentioning folks to whom you are giving specific votes. I just referred to some -- didn't say if I did or didn't vote for them :)

I have one incredibly famous singer on my list who I think will fall through the cracks and people will be kicking themselves afterwards for not remembering to vote for.

And I have another who no one else will vote for but me but it is my proudest vote yet :)

Timmy Mallett?
