i think we're discussing someone actually singing those "meaningful lyrics"

who the f**k gives a f**k about meaningful lyrics anyway.

Chris Cornell, without question!

x2 on Cornell, anticipating the new album due at end of year. Mark Lanegan would have to be up there too.

 

[Springs]

Freddie Mercury
Robert Plant
Roy Orbison

 

[Cupid Stunt]

WOW! Didn't think Freddie would get that many mentions!

I'll take Freddie up front, Brandon Boyd if he is busy.

Backed by Fiona Apple & Grace Potter.

Maybe Nina Gordon or P.J Harvey if they aren't available.

Britney Spears to just stand around & jiggle...

 

[HevyDevy]

I'll stick with Devin. He is God, after all.

 

[RedVDave]

x2 on Cornell, anticipating the new album due at end of year.

Can't wait for the new record as well man has 14 years since Down On The Upside, already pre-ordered the live album which should be awesome!

Male - Freddie Mercury, young Stevie Wonder

Female - Aretha Franklin, late '80s Whitney Houston

Most Versatile - Michael Jackson

 

[carcharias]

Karen Carpenter...best chick
Freddie ....best man

Bon..for weirdness
Brian for gravelness

and although I am not really a fan I was impressed with Eddie Vedder when I saw PJ.

Mathew sweet
Jeff Buckley

..and I saw that Anthony Warlow sing in Grease the stage play ( don't ask ) .
Holy fug he can sing .

 

[Firey_Dragon]

Mike Patton
Freddy Mercury
Bruce Dickinson
Ronnie James Dio
Robert Plant

I'll probably get slammed for the next two but ah well...

Live James Hetfield is pretty damn good (although he has faded in the last 10 years), wouldn't fall into the vocalist category though, moreso frontman category.

From modern bands, it's hard to go past Dallas Green, but not for his work in Alexisonfire but City and Colour is incredible live.

 

[Skinner]

Freddy for sure and Roger Daltrey
