Title: Top 100 Singers/Vocalists
Post by: diamondwaspvenom on July 11, 2015, 11:23:48 AM

This is a list dedicated to the best singers/vocalists in music. You may be wondering why I separated the two terms. The reason is because I've heard that you use the term of a singer to describe someone who can actually sing whereas a vocalist is some person making noise (be it yelling, growling or anything in between) into a mic.

You can also post as many as you wish.

Without further delay:

#1 - Freddie Mercury (Queen)

We haven't done one of these in a long time. Should be fun.

2. Tom Waits - no voice like it.

4. Louis Armstrong. Another gravelly-voiced singer. Musically he's more significant as an instrumentalist and jazz pioneer, but his voice is iconic (and wonderful).

You boys should talk about these singers and advise us why they're "top".

67. PEGGY LEE
Both clips below are "live," sort-of, and they're both the same song, different performances, both illustrating PEGGY LEE's casual, throwaway style. She had a lot of influence, believe it or not. PEGGY was the beginning of what we call ROCK n' ROLL. For white people. There aren't many earlier white artists that did what she did and sang songs like... this.

#68: Tibetan Monks

An incredible unique way of singing. Most singers require an addition of instruments to add flavour to the vibe of the music, Tibetan monks just need to be either on their own or in a small group to sound massive. It's incredibly atmospheric, eerie, and relaxing. Not very much like it out there. I've even been able to train myself to perform this kind of singing. I must thank the mystics from The Dark Crystal for introducing me to this. :teddyr:

77. Frank Black (ex The Pixies). Gruff voice with a very strong upper register. Great howler, but he can do a ballad as a tenor or baritone if he has too. Nice vocal effects on this acoustic recording that shows off his range.
