Guest onlynik Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 For me it would have to be Freddie Mercury, he had a great range with pure passion to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummerOfIntenseEvil Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 The Patton. His voice is just amazing. In fact I was thinking that to myself this afternoon while listening to "Point And Click" and "God Hates A Coward" by Tomahawk. High-pitched, deep-pitched, growls, screams, delicate whispers... Mike Patton has it ALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 I am a rock ignoramus (I prefer Townsend's plaintive demos to Daltrey's overkill), but if I had to pick a "rock" voice I second Robert Plant, with Ian Gillan in there somewhere. Others I like include Terry Reid, Jeff Buckley (and his Dad), Roger Chapman and Kevin Coyne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummerOfIntenseEvil Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Don't you mention that song in 40% of your posts?Quite possibly, because I'm slightly obsessed with it.I'd say more like 36% though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Devin Townsend (shock horror) He has a vocal range Mercury could of only dreamed of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 You too? I thought I was the only one!I don't mind Daltrey on early stuff like My Generation etc, but as gets more sure of himself the feeling disappears. Pete doing 'So sad about us' on Scoop is wonderful, despite being cut off too soon.Talking of vocal ranges (as Hog was)...Jeff & Tim Buckley could fairly swoop and soar. Anyone else like Yma Sumac the 50s singer, supposedly from the Andes? She's got an amazing range!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
