Poll Closed - Favourite Male Vocalist

[OB1]

There's no point submitting my top 10 if this gonna turn out to the FOC crooners thread.

There's no point in you submitted a bunch of guys who can't sing anyway.

Whether you like his songs or not - Freddie is head and shoulders above anyone else in terms of range and power.

Possibly only George Michael comes close.

Plenty with good and distinctive voices that suit their style - eg. Brett of Suede, Coverdale of Whitesnake, the well loved Morrissey, Ferry, Bowie, Ian Curtis, etc etc. but the former 2 have incredible wide ranging voices.

Agree.

But it's more than just singing ability. Emotion, tempo and the ability to engage the audience are huge factors as well. Freddie Mercury had all of this in spades - but Frank Sinatra is my #1 favorite for these very same reasons.

Little Richard....the one they all wanted to sound like...

Yep - I'll give you Frankie.

Got it down to 16 so far, but think the order of my top 10 will be pretty random as I can't seperate them.

I need a dislike button, for this post and every time you mention that make-up faced ponce - Jean Simmons; )

Mick Hucknall is the only one I really like. I'll try and think of some others.

I wish, tragically I am just hovering around bang fucking average. I can carry a tune and not too bad at harmonising, but a great “, or even very good singer, I ain’t.
