The Redneck Rockers thread made me remember doing a poll on a whiteboard at work years ago. I was amazed at how fast the whole board filled up.

I'll start with a couple obvious ones

1. Elvis

2. Jimi Hendrix

Lou Rawls

Lou Rawls is dead? :bluesad:

For me, there are a bunch, but Freddie Mercury was the first name that came to mind. Absolutely unique voice. Irreplaceable.
