LJFH Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Best in the world? Wow.... ummmmm.....as for ones I think are amazing... 1. Joni Mitchell 2. Mr. Yorke (radiohead) 2. Garcia (of course) and this one is out of the blue but 4. Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon) I have to say these people are four of my favorites because all of them sing/sang with soul and like they put their hearts into it.

Guest Low Roller Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Tough question. I'm going to have to stick to my favorites, because they are favorites for a reason. Maybe not necessarily the best world renowned vocals, but their vocals resonate in my brain the right way: A) Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Poe Jim Morisson, Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrybear1 Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 best singer? (living) well i don't know people but neil's voice is just about tops for me. of course i'd have to agree with joni as well... i've always really liked grace slick's voice too. dead? this one is tough, laura nyro? j.b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Living: James Taylor Not-Living: Sandy Denny (ex-Fairport Convention) James Taylor fucking kills me. "Mud Slide Slim and The Blue Horizon" (1972) is a desert-island disc for me. His voice could bring world peace if everyone would just pay attention.... As for Sandy Denny, her voice was pure and clear and her handling of melody unparalleled to my ears. Her singing on Fairport Convention albums like "Liege and Lief" and "Unhalfbricking" sends shivers up and down my spine. And her solo stuff, while spottier then her tenure with Fairport, yielded at least one classic rock/folk album: "North Star Grassman and The Raven". Nice stuff.

h Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Who do you think is the best singer in the world A) Living? Passed on? Ya, it's a silly question, but i was interested in the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 A) Living = Paul McCartney (not his voice now mind you) Passed on = Richard Manuel (keyboard player in The Band) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieDon'tSurf Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 The responses are 95% of the fun! My response is 100% reversed from the order of the QOD... passed on... he'll always make me close my eyes and wish for a good high...James Douglas Morrison A) living... I dunno, Kid Rock? Slim Shady? How 'bout Van Morrison, now there is a completely silken voice (ya know, silk with a little bit of a gravel cover, not unlike Mr. Waits) I'm sure I'll change my mind a little later in the thread... but what the hell!

bradm Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Just to think outside the box of pops: a) Luciano Pavorotti (sp?) Billie Holliday (These are candidates only, not necessarily my personal opinion. I don't even know how to evaluate which singer is best...) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 A) Tommy Chong & Warren Haynes Pigpen & Brent Mydland (we are talking duets, right?) But in all honesty, I have 100%-ly agree with Treyter on many occasions regarding Jerry Garcia (its all about those '94 Stella Blues, you know, the end part) and Thommy Yorke. Those 2 singers hit me in the "kitty boo-boo fuck" more than any other ever has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
