Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, September 19, 2009, 21:02:58 Really depends on what style of music you are in to. Freddie Mercury was ace, but I love Lionel Richie, Elton John and even Neil Sedaka. I have very varied tastes! Would have to include Tina Turner, Mary Wilson and Shirely Bassey among the female side. Big shout too for Dusty Springfield and the amazing voice of Karen Carpenter.

If I made my selections most on here would wonder who the hell I was talking about. Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Dazzza on Saturday, September 19, 2009, 21:26:04 Smokey Robinson and Martha Reeves

If I made my selections most on here would wonder who the hell I was talking about. was just after your top one of each,from whenever you choose. maybe a top 5 would have been a better idea? Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: michael on Saturday, September 19, 2009, 21:47:13 I've always thought Roger Daltrey to be one of the great male voices, particularly on Who's Next and Tommy. Tremendous frontman too.
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: michael on Saturday, September 19, 2009, 21:56:00 As for female... I think I'd probably go for Beth Gibbons from Portishead. A haunting voice.
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Amir on Saturday, September 19, 2009, 23:17:12 Nina Simone absolutely kills it for best female...........No one can top her, surely?
Male would take too much thought for this time of night. Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: pauld on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 01:05:12 I am the best male singer of all time. I'm fucking great. There you go, problem solved, the lasses can sort themselves out
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: wiggy on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 07:52:58 Sandy Denny for the best female
Bill Withers for male Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 08:05:10 Posh Spice and Jason Orange.
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: wiggy on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 08:05:58 Posh Spice and Jason Orange. You need help Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 08:32:38 Frank Sinatra had an ok voice
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Rustle on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 09:16:35 Surprised no one has said elvis even tho i can't stand his music he's got to be near the top,as for the ladies i would say diana ross,whitney houston great singer's in their era's and not forgetting beyonce in todays.
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 09:22:57 Alison Moyet and Jimmy Cliff
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 12:21:41 Sam Cooke had a great voice in his particular music genre and generally.
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: RedRag on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 12:25:23 jim morrison and grace slick
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Arriba on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 12:34:10 wish i didn't bother now.
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: alanmayes on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 12:36:11 For me the test is always which singers have the voice and presence in a live arena.
So i'll nominate, Otis Redding and Roberta Flack. Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Batch on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 12:40:44 I am the best male singer of all time. I'm fucking great. There you go, problem solved, the lasses can sort themselves out Are you laying a singstar chalenge down to Fred? Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: donkey on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 18:39:47 My two favourite female singers are Rachel Nagy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv8W6jhUIk0 and Emmylou Harris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCCAZgI_hrE Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Barry Scott on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 19:43:33 I fucking love Nina Simone, but i think Whitney is up there as an amazing female. Would say Old Blue Eyes for the male, as i fucking love him, but should probably be Bill Medley or Bobby Hatfield in reality.
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Sunday, September 20, 2009, 20:20:45 instead of peace and revolution, we got aids and whitney houston.
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: adje on Thursday, September 24, 2009, 16:17:02 Best voices for me are Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin.But from a rock point of view I think you'd have to go a long way to beat Stevie Nicks and Mick Jagger
Title: Re: who are the greatest? Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, September 25, 2009, 06:44:17 Surprised Robert Plant hasn't been mentioned (or maybe I missed it).
