Greatest male vocalists

borndead1 · 07-01-2009, 11:11 PM

I dunno about "great", but my favorite male vocalists are: LEMMY, Tom Waits, and Howlin' Wolf. I wouldn't add them to the list of Greatest male vocalists though.

1. Frank Sinatra
2. Glenn Danzig (who did you think I would list first? )
3. Denny Doherty
4. Elvis (especially when singing gospel)
5. Roy Orbison
6. Johnny Cash
7. Bruce Dickinson
8. Brian Wilson

Certainly a musical genius, but not a great vocalist.

Great entertainers -- yes; great musicians - yes; cult figures -yes, but not on the list.

Robert Plant

Neil Diamond

Steve Perry

I will stop there but there are many great Rock (used loosely to include Neil) vocalists, if you mean vocalists period there is a ton of em.

Guys like Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole to go way back
Otis Redding, Bill Medley not as far back, etc etc

Oops that is more than one per post

Roy Orbison made it. Elvis, interestingly, didn't even come up. The King of Rock, but I suspect it may be analogous to the King of Pop.

Other thoughts?

I mistakenly thought you were asking for opinions. And well, since this is going to be all about you and your groups opinions this thread is pointless.
