VILLAMARV Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 My own personal wonder list as said by me since forever goes Freddie in a category on his own, then the second tier of Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder and Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes or as I call him bendy Chris. This is based on nothing but reverance and wanting to be them or to be able to perform at their level, range, showmanship, gravellyness, emotion. You name it they've got something in my eyes that I'd like to tap into. That doesn't mean theyre better or worse than the likes of Aretha, Layne Staley, Billie Holiday, The Reverand Al Green, Skin, Zak DeLaRocha, Nina Simone, Serje Tankien, Julie London, Billy Idol, Yebba, Tom Jones, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Sam Moore (Sam&Dave) Axl, Bon Scott, Laura Marling, Eva Cassidy, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, there's probably more I've missed, that I very much respect and love listening to but from afar as an admirer. Not necessarily wanting to BE them at various times in my life. Like the other 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy can do the absolute lot, and do it all incredibly well. Still no change there then (and it's probably been my answer for 30 years). Those 6 Octaves can knock any style, language or genre out the park. He's a phenom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I suspect in this thread I will have said Anita Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at his list of bands, and they're mostly names I recognise, without having the least desire to check them out. EDIT: Same goes for the much vaunted Chris Cornell.

Its just a joy to hear anything she puts her voice to. Strictly voice, late period Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, they have weather in their vocals. Just so much character. Finally Curtis Mayfield. Not a big fan of the man, don’t know much by him other than I love his voice. None of this has changed for me, still love all of these voices.

Exceptional voice. Others I'd have high on my list include The Beach Boys (obvs) but preferably with any Wilson brother singing lead. Peter Cetera Chris Cornell Paul Rogers Lindsey Buckingham CSNY Allan Clarke of the Hollies Jon Anderson Steve Perry This list could be very long if I don't stop now. I'd add Hall & Oates to my previous list. Also singers I enjoy who aren't the greatest, Neil Young, Josh Todd of Buckcherry and Kurt Cobain spring to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
