Who Is Your Favourite Singer Ever?

Kate Bush

 

Elvis Presley would be number one.
Then it's Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and Michael Stipe.

 

Mariah Carey
Laura Nyro
Ronnie Spector
Paul McCartney

 

Or get funky like Etta James?

 

My favorite voices ever are Colin Blunstone and Jeff Buckley.

 

Jeff Buckley

 

You got it! Bob Welch rules!

 

The thread is too long for me to go through all previous posts but it looks like John Lennon may have got the most mentions.

My list is too long but here's a start:
1. All of the Beach Boys
2. The four original Byrds who sang plus Gram
3. The Threetles but you know the three I mean.
4. CSNY
5. Roy Wood
5. Maddy Prior
6. Sandy Denny
7. Ritchie Furay
8. Jeff Tweedy
9. Alex Chilton

 

I was getting worried. For rock singers man Chris was a juggernaut for 15 years. He had it all.

Still great, but in his prime for that genre I think even Dio, Halford, Plant, Ozzy, and on and on would agree...Chris was something very, very special.

 

fav singer not already mentioned in this thread: Roky Erickson!

 

I don't think I have one particular favourite singer but near the top of the list would be Justin Hayward (Moody Blues), Pete Wylie (Wah!), and Darryl Kromm (Strange Advance).

 

Just a few:

• Sam Cooke
• Otis Redding
• David Ruffin
• Rod Stewart (see the influences above)
• Paul Rogers

And for some fun:

• Karen Carpenter
• Robin Gibb
• Noel Coward
