I think that Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins has the most beautiful female voice, and Antony Hegarty has the most beautiful male voice.

Chester Bennington (Linkin Park)

Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree)
Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)
Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation)
Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)
James La Brie (Dream Theater)
Thom Yorke (Radiohead)
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Ronnie James Dio (Rainbow, Elf, Black Sabbath, solo. RIP)

Tom Waits

I asked my dad what he though about Waits and he said he and Bob Dylan should get together and from a super group called "S****Y Singers, Good Songs"

Tom Waits is probably my favorite too. My tastes in singers can be summed up as "ugly old guys who can't sing". They include:

Tom Waits
Bob Dylan
Leonard Cohen
Townes Van Zandt
Mississippi John Hurt
David Johansen
Blind Willie Johnson
Baby Gramps
Lou Reed
Neil Young

And the odd one out is Joanna Newsom

LOL, I love this.

I had a friend whose dad swore Dylan was the greatest singer ever because of the emotion in his voice. I thought, "What?!"

James Hetfield of Metallica

If you guys been fallowing my post; you should know who my favorite is but I'll mention Miranda Cosgrove again I'm not sure who else to pick for my top fav singers cuz a lot come to mind

Craig Morgan.

Chris Cornell
Chuck Schuldiner
James Hetfield
Geddy Lee
Freddie Mercury
Bruce Dickinson
Rob Halford
Neil Young
Eddie Vedder

Beck He just won't go away.

Elton John.

I tried to edit my first post in the topic to elaborate on this, but apparently the post is too old, so here goes.

My favorite singer is Adam Lambert, for a number of reasons; besides his phenomenal range and technical skill - he was rated the second most technically skilled rock vocalist and most skilled male rock vocalist of all time by DDD Music Forums - his voice is just beautiful. Besides that, his music is mostly fine for kids, while being perfectly fine for adults to enjoy too; in fact, my mom and I both are huge fans. His sexier songs, though few, are done with class (for example, a kid would only know what "For Your Entertainment" was about if they already knew what sadomasochism was) and those that aren't sexual are very positive ("If I Had You" is about how money, fame, etc. mean nothing if you don't have someone you love to share them with). Most of all, from what I've seen of him - interviews and his banter with the audience at his Cleveland concert a couple weeks back (and yes, he's even better live than on the CD) - he's just a genuinely laid-back, happy person, always looking at the bright side of things. He doesn't even let all the crap he gets for being gay affect him (in response to the Westboro baptist Church, he said they were entitled to their opinion and added, "They like to put on their signs, 'God Hates F*gs.' But I think God hates hate more.").

Tom Waits

He might be the greatest ASpie type singer ever ...

Morrissey, definitely. As solo artists I also like Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday though.

David Gahan of Depeche Mode

Phil Oakey of Human League, I like their earlier more experimental music

Ian Curtis of Joy Division

Morrisey of the Smiths

David Bowie

Neil Arthur of Blancmange

David Byrne of the Talking Heads

Bernard Sumner of New Order
