Lemonade Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 A thread to celebrate the great singers. Post links to songs / performances with vocals that make you stop in your tracks and say wow.Here's two of mine: Not a fashionable band, and I can't make much sense of the lyrics, but the fucking vocal puts shivers down my spine. Wow. So much passion. I'd give anything to be able to sing like that.And, an old classic: Don't think anyone could really say Iggy is a great singer, but the way he delivers it, especially in this track, there's so much raw energy and power to it.Now, you.

Moose Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Pretty much anything Otis Redding ever did. I honestly think he has the greatest voice of all time. This is a top one: So, yeah. That's it really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 The Picciotto/MacKaye combo-vocal always supplies joy in big happy piles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR_i0sKWKEAPant wettingly good singing by Stevie Nicks here. She belts it out near the end. Glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eupraxia Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think this is outstanding. My favourite song by my favourite song-writer. Good technique of shutting up drunken plebs in the audience: "Will someone give that guy a valium or something?"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grf38QzDoAU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Probably something by Joe Cocker. What a set of pipes he's got. They sound like they're broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'll take this from a singing perspective since most other people here will! First one that comes to mind is Eric from Textures. The new singer they have is good, but I still prefer Eric. Mikael Akerfeldt is another of my favourites. Prefer his singing voice though... Damnation is my favourite Opeth album! Not the biggest fan of SYL and found his solo stuff hit and miss but Devin Townsend has to be up there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelecasterSam Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Great vocals from Van Zant & great guitar work from Collins, Rossington & Gaines ... superb ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 It's long. But it's amazing.Listening to it again. Billy Gibbons is a fucking bad ass. "They don't call me the Texas homewrecker and heartbreaker for nothing." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
