Best voice means something different from best singer.

well Mr. Rose is the best singer :)

Technically... no. Both Mercury and Dickinson is way before him for example.

Matt Bellamy, Muse.. Maybe the greatest voice ever. It's amazing how good control he has on his voice.

:rofl-lol:

Seriously, no.

Seriously, yes. Matt's voice is amazing.

Macca has an unbelievable voice too, like listen to Helter Skelter, Twist and Shout etc.

thats lennon

Hah, I know. Quite an embarrassing typo.. I was of course thinking about Oh! Darling.

Yes, when he sings low - when he starts singing that whiney nasal garbage - eurgh.

If he sticks to the lower range - he's great.

here's Elvis, 6 weeks from his death. in spite of having a twisted colon, heart disease, glaucoma, and being swollen and bloated from his drug abuse, listen to him pour his heart into this gospel song, "How Great Thou Art". the part right before the chorus (1:54) is especially bad ass.

Elvis.

The King could sing anything.

couldn't have said it better. everybody thinks of Elvis and they think of songs like "Hound Dog", "Suspicious Minds", etc. those songs are great and have great vocal performances, but there are so many songs, especially from the '60's that not many people nowadays know about where his voice and his vocal ability where just mind-blowing. songs like "Indescribably Blue" and many others.

it's sad that such a great performer is being reduced to a joke because of all the cheesy imitators. you say "Elvis" and people think of some lard ass eating a jelly donut. Elvis was only overweight for about a year and a half and he wasn't that fat. his face was swollen and bloated and he had a gut from his compacted bowels, but he wasn't huge like people make him out to be.

exactly! so many people shit on elvis and for what? for a start, in the words of John Lennon "before elvis, there was nothing" and what did he do wrong, joined the fuckin army? so?!?! he wanted to and he did it. he came back and made movies that everybody says they always thought sucked but hold on a fuckin second, someone was watching them, he was one of the highest grossing (and for a while THE highest grossing) star of the 60s, not only that he showed promise as an actor. Love Me Tender, Jailhouse Rock, Flaming Star, King Creole these were good performances. and they say the majority of his movies sucked well they werent supposed to be citizen kane, they were fucking lighthearted movies and thats how they came across. after all, what is cinema if not escapism? he was the first big controversial star, widely hated for that hip swivelling shit and people trying to ban him because it was N word music, i remember this interview and they're asking him SUCH stupid questions like "do you beat up your mother?" and "do you smoke marajuana before a show?" and he's answering them so gracefully and politely. he was as generous as the day is long and spent untold amounts of his own money on others and those around him and sure you can say people scammed him and they did but thats ignoring the basic nature of the man and where he was coming from. he got into the whole drugs debacle and that was stupid so says all and sundry but you got to remember, there was prescedent before him, he didnt have the lessons of old to learn from. a consummate performer, a great voice, an absolute legend, playing his heart out to his last days. love the guy.

A lot of people put Paul Butterfield in the Rock category, I never really liked that because it sort of implies that he didn't have the kind of blues credentials that he did. But anyway, his music was about as diverse as that of any Rock group and he had a tremendous voice. Just amazing.

Agreed.
