Best rock singer ever? (guitarist, band, guitar)

SikThInDaHead · 07-09-2004, 10:56 AM

Specifically specific!!!!Amazing!!

There will never be another performer like Jim Morrisson.He put his soul into every performance.He was an awesome poet aswell.I suggest to ppl that they read 'No-one here gets out alive'...the bio of the great man himself.
As for Kurt Cobain....he is,for me,the greatest muscian that ever lived.His integrity and honesty will never be matched.Tortured yet brilliant.The John Lennon of our generation.A lot of the press today think Jack White is the nearest thing we have to Kurt Cobain.I dont think The White Stripes are on the same level as Nirvana,but he does seem a special talent.

Can I just ask how Kurt Cobain broke the mould? He didn't invent any new movement in rock, just happened to write a cacthy tune that Geffen milked for all it was worth, and still do to this day. There were tons of better vocalists working in Seattle at the time, Wood, Cornell, Staley, Vedder etc, and many of those were around the scene from it's infancy, unlike Cobain who was actually introduced to it by The Melvins. He didn't create a new movement at all, sure he was an important figure in introducing it to a mainstream audience, but I don't see how that makes him a brilliant singer.

For me the best vocalists are Robert Plant, Thom Yorke, Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley, Zach de la Rocha and Maynard Keenan from Tool.

Well Kurt never really broke the mold. He simply mass-publicized the breaking of said mold. There were a ton of singers in Seattle in the grunge scene who had sung with that style before he did.

What grunge did was give people the chance to sing in their own voices. All of a sudden you didnt have to be Motley Crue and sing on the same scale as the average opera singer, you could just kind of... grumble..

Freddy Mercury had the most amzing voice I've ever heard. Davey Havok is really good. Geoff Rickly. Marshall Smithson...ah...

Anthony Kiedis is very cool

I know he isn't to everyones taste, but i love axle roses voice as squeaky and annoying as it is.
