You have to pick ONE male singer whose singing voice you will have for the rest of your life. You don't necessarily have to sing in the same style, but you will have the same qualities. Who will it be? For me, it's down to Brian Wilson, Elvis, and Macca, but I choose Elvis for #1.

Tom from Tom York and the Radioheads

David Thomas

Try singing along to Pere Ubu songs. It's impossible.

Dio

Tim Buckley

Josh Homme.

That guy from future islands but instead of singing for a mediocre synthpop band id front an experimental post punk band or maybe even go singer songwriter and do some shit inspired by tom waits and nick cave

Freddie Mercury

Hands down David Allen Coe

OP here. Forgot to say why. From now on, justify responses.

Elvis:
>greatest breath control I've ever heard
>amazing vibrato, faster than anyone
>great pitch control and stability
>amazing range with power down to low E (bass range), also can pass for a tenor
>good diction, phrasing
Elvis was the most talented singer of the last Century, undoubtedly

Matt Berninger from The National. He's got a great clear deep voice.

Marvin Gaye so I could sing the panties off anyone

Paul McCartney

oh yeah that's a good one

Frank Sinatra.

I love how two people have said Paul but nobody will ever say John Lennon.

they don't the heart to do that to their wives

80's Bono.

...

Me

Johnny Cash

I honestly think my voice is fine but for mainstream rock bands, I think I would kill for le pipes of Freddie Mercury.

Kurt Cobain screaming sounds really good too but I don't think I would trade.

Freddie mercury of course

Mid-90's Chris Cornell

either sam cooke or brenton wood for me

Morrissey feels like a pretty safe choice

The only place where you should hit your woman is her cervix

Carl Wilson or Brian Wilson

Method man.

Spencer Chamberlain. I envy his screaming abilities so much, and his singing on Underoath's last album is pretty similar to my singing style already, but better

...

Myself, I'm a good singer
fuck off fags

Demis Roussos

I'm bass baritone but all the singers I like have a tenor range.

kurdt or

I dunno, I'm not that thrilled by Elvis, even at his best. Roy Orbison blows me away though.

Captain Beefheart for sure. I wanna break glass with my voice.

Gustavo Cerati

I kinda wonder what else he could have done with his voice if he hadn't settled on that particular style.

Peter Silberman because range and timbre

This man's voice is a fucking rollercoaster of pitch and dynamics

Fuck the singing part I want that retarded outfit

Nick Cave all day every day, he's Johnny Cash and David Bowie rolled into one.

Phil Ochs for sure

patrish

Mike Patton. I'd have a wider octave range than all of you niggas

I like Dennis DeYoung's voice a lot. He always seemed like Queen but with his own style. Which I love

It would probably sound weird because I'm not black, but maybe Jackie Wilson.

>Dat ending

Martin Gore
youtube.com/watch?v=Hdjz1gcltdM

the best pop singers are almost always black, I don't even consider them because it isn't fair at all

Daryl Hall

>Aretha Franklin

youtube.com/watch?v=mzHLlPkn40k

tiny tim

youtube.com/watch?v=iBhkvlTcAag

Either Bruce Dickinson, Till Lindemann or Tom Angelripper maybe even Attila Csihar

Julian Casablancas

Davey Havok

whether or not you enjoy AFI, Blaqk Audio, XTRMST, Dreamcar, etc, you can't deny the man has an incredible, powerful voice

I'd totally want to sing like Tiny Tim

Devin Townsend

Farinelli.

morrissey during the smith's prime

Jeff Magnum or james Dean Bradfield, maybe lennon
