There’s a bit of a gap between 7th and 6th. There we’re a lot of votes for Top five too.Thought he might had made top 5.
GM averaged 7 points per vote so he was high up on the list of those that chose him.

As he's got older and his voiced has mellowed and maybe got a bit more vulnerable he's done some great stuff. Big fan of the albums he's done with Alison Krauss, on the last one there's some really tender singing.
Leave my girlfriend out of this topic ;-)Percy was my #1 pick.
As others have pointed out, his work post Zep has been excellent. His latest album with Alison Krauss is another excellent record and his vocals are in fine fettle, they have aged like fine wine.
Look forward to seeing him and AK at Hyde Park this summer.
Oh I don't know mate, I never liked him but he was a bloody good singer. Have to hold my hands up.Shirley another pisstake ;-)
This is a true showing where the word Favourite over Talented comes into play
I voted for Adam Duritz. Can’t imagine he’s going to be in the top six.Annoyed that I missed this! I'm such an idiot for not checking the off topic forum more often. I love these threads, though, thank you for organising them.
I imagine a certain Mr. Mercury will be high on the list... though I've always loved Counting Crows' Adam Duritz too, and of course Jeff Buckley.
Really pleased to see Springsteen AND Meatloaf on this list. Bat out of Hell was partly intended as a Springsteen parody, of course, but Meatloaf had such a powerful, sincere voice that he overshadowed that aspect of it.
Shout outs too to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. I believe it was Marvin Gaye who roughly said, not long after he first heard Dylan, that "from now on it's not about how pretty the voice is, it's about if it can make you believe the words".
Tom Jones has a voice that always makes me shiver. Saw him live twice at festivals, he's brilliant.
The other one I absolutely adore is Johnny Cash. Something about that man's voice made you feel like he had lived a hundred lifetimes.
