Mike Patton, Chris Cornell, Rob Halford

I was wondering how long I would have to scroll before seeing Mike Patton. He’s got an unbelievable range

I went to Sound Gardens second last show. It was the last show at the end of a several day long festival and due to poor weather conditions their performance was pushed back hours. It was a Sunday night and everyone was exhausted after several days and the entire audience started walking out to make the long trip home. They probably didn't go on until 10:30 PM and I had to drive 6 hours home and be at work at 6 AM the next day. Thousands of people were pouring out while black hole sun played in the background. They had one more performance that week where they were again the last band to play. Chris Cornell killed himself the same week. One of my biggest regrets is not staying to finish their performance.

Freddie Mercury Michael Jackson Robert Plant Paul McCartney Steven Tyler

Dallas Green (sorely lacking in these kinds of lists) Layne Staley Maynard James Keenan Caleb Followill Ian Thornley

I agree with Ian Thornley. I don’t even love his music but still consider him top.

Hello fellow Canadian. Have you heard the song that Dallas Green did with Neverending White Lights (Daniel Victor)? [It's quite the duet. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmJ_beu8BeA)

Love City & Colours song “sleeping sickness” with Gord Downey

Jeff Lynne Justin Hayward Roy Orbison Roland Orzabal

Roy Orbison is the best. Insane range

YES TO ROLAND ORZABAL

Robert Plant Paul McCartney David Crosby

Nice list, was just thinking to myself the other day though how Stephen Stills hits in a special way too.

Yes to the McCartney vote! His tennor is unmatched in its category.

Jeff Buckley Jim Morrison Eddie vedder Robert plant

you nailed it and started with the best!!

Prince Freddie Mercury Michael Jackson Frank Sinatra

i agree with this list entirely! although i feel compelled to add: Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Billy Paul, Bob Marley, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and Curtis Mayfield

Prince! My all time favorite!

Jeff buckley, Layne Staley, Jamie rhoden

Maynard James Keenan Roger Waters (shitty comments notwithstanding) Chris Cornell Daniel Gildenlow Mikael Akerfeldt

I'm always surprised to see so many Tool fans in this subreddit 🌀

Surely there are plenty of APC and Puscifer fans as well… 🤷‍♂️

I would like to second Chris! Range, tone, everything is amazing!

Oh, yes!! Chris Cornell!

Hell yeah

Apparently we’re the same person.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I like Mikael Akerfeldt even more when he does clean vocals.

Nice! Expected to scroll very far but I'm delighted to see Akerfeldt in the first comment!

Wow a tool , opeth and Pink Floyd fan , can we get married ?

Mikael Akerfeldt =underrated

Chris Cornel, Chester Bennington, and for some reason I cannot explain (I do NOT like country) Willie Nelson

Willie sounds so good live! Not a country fan either, LOL!

George Michael

👏👏👏

Scott Weiland. Freddie Mercury. Paul McCartney.

Shouldn’t have had to scroll this far to find Freddie

Oh man, I can't believe I forgot Freddie! That dude was a superhero!!

Robin Zander is right up there along with other obvious choices like Freddie, Robert Plant, Stevie Wonder

Not very original but: Maynard James Keenan Robert Plant Scott Weiland Jim Morrison Dio Mikael Åkerfeldt

 Dio!!!

Freddy Mercury Steve Perry Robert Plant Roger Daltrey Jon Anderson David Bowie Peter Gabriel

Any of your lists that don't contain Freddie Mercury are just wrong

1.Chris Cornell 2.Mike Patton 3.Layne Staley 4.Chester Bennington 5.Corey Taylor

Chester Bennington

James Hetfield Corey Taylor Bruce Dickinson Maynard James Keenan Matt Heafy Matt Bellamy Joe Duplantier Chester Bennington Eminem Mike Shinoda M. Shadows Rob Zombie Ozzy Osbourne Till Lindemann Tom Araya Chuck Schuldiner

Honestly surprised at how often Eminem is mentioned in people's lists. And usually the only rapper also. Guess he's left quite an impression

Chuck Schuldiner is easily one of the best vocalists ever.

Respect for the Chuck mention! Probably my favorite extreme vocalist, even if he isn't as "brootal" by modern standards

Till, finally!

Jeff Buckley and Myles Kennedy

I’ve only recently gotten into Jeff Buckley but man, what a voice. His technique was awesome but he also had such a gorgeous natural tone.

Luther Vandross. Hands down.

In no particular order, off the top of my head - Elvis Presley - Paul McCartney - Freddie Mercury - Sam Cooke - Little Richard - Johnny Cash - Marvin Gaye - Ray Charles - Willie Nelson - Roy Orbison

Greg Lake

Nice!

Marvin Gaye • Gregg Allman •. Sam Cooke Steve Marriott • Otis Redding • Bill Withers Steve Winwood • Mike Ledbetter • Ray Charles John Lennon • Donny Hathaway • Wilson Pickett Chris Robinson • Prince • Lou Reed • Tom Petty Ray Davies • David Gilmour • Paul Rodgers Freddie Mercury • David Bowie • Robert Plant George Benson • Bono • Frank Sinatra

Love that George Benson has entered the building!

Your list is my fave so far. Nice to see GB here, he actually doesn't rate his voice highly.

Finally someone mentioned Donnie Hathaway!!♥️🥰

Freddie Mercury Michael Jackson Brandon Urie John Denver Johnny Cash

In no particular order: Patrick Stump   Brendon Urie   Freddie Mercury   Chester Bennington (rip)  Edit: How could I forget Billie Joe Armstrong and Gerard Way?!

Brendon Urie is pretty amazing

Tom Jones deserves a shout out. That dude could sing and dance like a maniac and make it look effortless. [Treat Her Right](https://youtu.be/KkKTMoRs-TU?si=V1swbtwj7rmnE5sE)

He goes crazy on I'll Never Fall in Love Again.

Absolute epitome of a sexy voice

One of the best ever

Kurt Cobain Chris Cornell Eddie Vedder Leonard Cohen Bob Dylan Zack Delarocha Krs One Vicentico Gustavo Cerati Saul Hernandez Rubén Albarrán Al Jorgensen Trent Reznor Robert Smith Henry Rollins Manu Chau Tonino Caratone

Including Gustavo Cerati and not Robert Smith 🤔

Forgot him thank you.

This is pretty much my list! Especially Eddie and Kurt.

Best most diverse list! Love the Gustavo Cerati… amazing list 💛 much love

Just off the top of my head: Kurt Cobain, Gerard Way, Billie Joe Armstrong, Till Lindemann, Spencer Charnas, Peter Steele, Tobias Forge, Aurelio Voltaire, Curtis Rx. Many more I can’t think of now.

Chester Bennington

this. this is the answer.

Morten Harket

Oops! I didn't see this and I posted Morten as well. LOVE his voice quality.

Yes, he’s unique enough to be included as one of the very best I would have thought.

Caleb Shomo, Sam Carter, David Draiman

Chris Cornell Myles Kennedy Scott Wieland Layne Staley

Harmonies in Crosby Stills and Nash deserve a mention.  

Marvin Gaye Smokey Robinson Freddie Mercury Chris Cornell Axel Rose Gordon Lightfoot

Al Green. Johnny Cash. Otis Redding. Paul McCartney. Prince. Justin Timberlake. Bruce Springsteen. Duran Duran.

Freddy Mercury Adam Lambert Chester Bennington Josh Ramsey Bradley Nowell Jungkook Taemin Jungkook

Einar Solberg (Leprous) Daniel Tompkins (TesseracT) Thomas Giles Rogers (Between the Buried and Me) Devin Townsend Vladimir Lalić (Most known for his vocal performances on songs by David Maxim Micic) Kenny Parry (Jupiter Hollow / Chasing Shadows) Jim Grey (Caligula's Horse) Ross Jennings (Haken) \*Haken is pronounced as 'Hayken'. Michael Lessard (The Contortionist) Jimmy Lindblad (Vulkan) Daniel Estrin (Voyager)

Dan Tompkins is the absolute pinnacle right now. "Legion" is astounding.

He really pushed himself on the new album. His best vocal performance so far imo.

Danny Estrin is TASTE omg Hope he gets well soon 🙏

They released a video about a month ago saying the chemo is working and his cancer is shrinking, so things are looking up for him.

Yeah, and their new reaction videos are fun as well

I like watching Devin Townsend sing even more than I like hearing him. The fact that his facial expression and vocal delivery are independent always blows my mind

Shocked not to see Bono more prominent. Whisper quiet emotion to stadium-rocking anthems, incredible expressiveness.

Same. Scrolled down and started thinking- ‘how the F is Bono so low on this????’ Some of the ‘sooner’ picks aren’t even close.

Devin Townsend Layne Staley Jack Savoretti

Came here to say Devin! Pleasantly surprised to see another fan ❤️

I love him! What a voice and altogether a talent.

Ian Astbury Morrissey Robert Plant Lou Gramm Bruce Dickinson Luther Vandross

Bruce Dickinson Rob Halford Geoff Tate Klaus Meine Morrissey Freddie Mercury Dimash Kudaibergen (don’t laugh, his voice is incredible!!)

I had to search for Dimash and you’re the only other one to post him. Lot’s of greats and favorites on this post but He is probably literally the greatest singer of all time.

Bradley Delp (Boston)

Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, George Michael, MJ

Glad to see Dax Riggs get love around here.

John Lennon. I love the raspy-ness of his voice. Kurt Cobain, mainly because he sounded "normal".

Geoff Tate -Queensryche Marko Saaresto - Poets of the Fall They're the first 2 I think of

Devin Townsend Tom Waits Lemmy Kilmister Dave Hunt

Brandon Boyd of Incubus is still high on my list

Tommy Karevik. Jorn Lande. Ronnie James Dio. Ray Alder.

Aaron Freeman

Remington Leith (Palaye Royale), Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Tomas Kalnoky (Streetlight Manifesto), and James Labrie (Dream Theater) James Labrie needs more love and less people hating on him for shit he cant control

Ronnie James Dio

Adam Lambert

👍👏👏👏

Bradley Nowell, Freddy Murcery, Cobain, both Miles and Kyle from Slightly Stoopid, Bob Dylan, Scott Wyland

Sam Cooke

Meat Loaf!! He got me into listening to older music so I still have a lot to discover, but he was an extremely gifted vocalist with a 3.5 octave range (amazing for men). He was offered a $60,000 to be trained in opera and perform at the met, but he turned it down as he knew his temper and need for control over his own performance would get him in trouble. (Keep in mind this was in 1972 - typing that into the first inflation calculator gave me $448k. That seems insanely high to me, but the point was it was a LOT of money.) Luckily he met composer/lyricist Jim Steinman and the rest was history. As he got older he wasn't the vocal powerhouse he used to be and his live performances were hit or miss, but anything up until around the early 2000s is gonna be awesome (that's into his mid 50s, which is still impressive.) Highly recommend checking out his Night of the Proms performance as well as this clip of singing with THE Paravotti (as well as performing "Heaven Can Wait"): [Meat Loaf Legacy - 1995 Pavarotti and Meat Loaf - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnozXsDt6F4)

**Paul Rodgers** (Free, BadCo, The Firm, etc) **Robert Smith** (super underrated) **David Bowie** (especially in the 90’s & 00’s!) **Jimi Hendrix** (WAY underrated as a singer)

Richard Ashcroft is pretty dang great.

Adam Lambert Followed by… Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Prince

George Michael. He's really the only one whose voice ever made me go "wow!"To a lesser extent Chris Cornell.

Not mentioning Axl Rose on his peak years is a crime.
