Best Male Singer Ever

[Ezekiel 25:17]

It's Freddie Mercury, fine to discuss others still, if you wish to.

Best front man ever of that there is no doubt. Better vocalists out there though.

Not for me mate, his range was incredible, just watch live aid, he did that with laryn larin layringy, a fucking sore throat.

Jeff Buckley. Now that is a fucking shout.

Are you pissed? Not saying that because of the comment but you seem it after your last few posts. Something up?

One's mentioned already - all great, except Oasis.... and I'm an Oasis fan.

 

Few others for me

 

Bobby Womack

Foy Vance

J. Tillman

Ray Lamontagne

 

And I find Thom Yorke easy enough to mimic. I must just be in that range.

Shocking lack of Mike Patton though

[stringvest]

My recommendation on Sinatra is the Sinatra Sings Cole Porter album.  Fantastic tunes, fantastic lyrics, fantastic arrangements and fantastic interpretations by the short arsed mafia moll.  Play loud and uncompressed, you'll be hooked.

 

A more contemporary version is Kurt Elling.  Widely acclaimed amongst circles who know far more about it than me to be the best singer of that type on the planet.

 

 

Actually Mook, the album you want is not Sinatra Sings Cole Porter - it's 'Frank Sinatra Sings The Select Cole Porter' - that other one looks shite, but this one is the real deal.  Hard to get hold of (it's not on Spotify) but if you want a copy I'll put it on Dropbox

[KMD7]

Great shout, amazing voice he had on him.

 

Aye he was good

[ZonkoVille77]

ok. 

 

You can't honestly put either Gallagher's down as "best male singer ever" - it's horseshit.

 

Liam had lost his voice by 2007 and prob earlier. He's fuckin shite these days.

Noel in fairness has looked after his well and has a decent soft voice. But even he gets 'shouty' at times and can't do a great sustain.

 

There's no point going all superfan over facts. Both are very average singers. Both distinctive though, I'll give you that.

Aye, I looked on Amazon when I saw your original post & the 'select' one came up, the CD is a fiver so I'll stick it on my pay day shopping list.

[Total Longo]

Either Everly brother, together their harmonies are incredible.

 

Its them, Sinatra, Orbison or Scott Walker for me.

 

No modern singer comes anywhere near them. 

[ZonkoVille77]

What about Chad Kroeger?

 

Just above modern era Ian Brown and below Damon Albarn

I didn't say he was the best, not at all. fucking great voice when he was younger though there is no denying that. And yeah, distinctive, nothing like Liam back in the day. Noel too has a distinctive voice. Neither are 'great' although actually I think Liam in songs like Slide Away was great. Bang on about his voice going though, when they won the brit award for icon or some shit he sounded awful.

They suited the music they were making very well, that is true. Similar to Cobain at Nirvana or Jeff Mangum at NMH who has awful technique/none at all but uses that very much to the musics advantage.

Yep. 

 

[Mook]

I make that four Oasis videos on a thread about the greatest male singer ever.

 

I think society has reached its nadir here.
