Default Falsetto
What are you favorite uses of a falsetto? Who do you think has the greatest falsetto?

I personally love Debra by Beck. Great falsetto!

Captain Beefheart's extremely bizarre first recording with Frank Zappa features him emulating a female blues singer:

I really like the Wild Beasts. They don't overuse the falsetto (a plus in my book), but it definitely helps to accentuate certain parts and add depth to the mix when it kicks in.

this one, he only cut one album under the same name, and is mostly known as a session man, so i'm unaware as to whether he sang in any other register:-



Junior Murvin - Police and Thieves

i also use this as a yardstick for practising my own falsetto

One of the classics, Paul McCartney.

Honey Pie off the white album

The man is 60+ and can still rock a falsetto after 2 hours non stop in concert.
