Take a look at this list:

Well... my favourite singers wouldn't be the best, but... oh whatever, here goes:

1) Freddie Mercury (Of course!)
2) Robert Smith (Sexiest voice. Ever. <3)
3) Jim Morrison
4) Thom Yorke
5) Chris Cornell

Here are my favourite 22 in no particular order.
1. Freddie Mercury
2. Frank Sinatra
3. Elvis Presley
4. Steve Tyler
5. Justin Hawkins
6. Suggs
7. Simon Le Bon
8. Michael Jackson
9. Kurt Cobain
10.John Lennon
11.Mick Hucknall
12.Adam Ant
13.The one from 10cc
14.Jeff Lynne
15.Mike Skinner
16.Errol Brown
17.Ozzy Osbourne
18.Rod Stewart
19.The one from Supergrass
20.Morrisey
21.Axl Rose
22.Elton John

I think you have to judge on what type of song they are singing, I think Axl is a good singer but could he sing any other song other than rock songs? Only certain singers can sing most anything, Freddie being one, and George Michael another. They are my top two. Don't know about the rest though...

4) Phil Collins

erm... all that come to mind ATM

Oh shit! How could I have left off Meatloaf?! Thanks for reminding me Mandy!

What's all this anti-Robert Plant? On an average early day of Zeppelin, he'd out-do just about any of Freddie Mercury's best days.

Of course Michael Stipe from R.E.M I forgot him!
Stupid me!

And Meat Loaf of course I forgot him too!

Can someone please tell me what the big goddamn deal is with Kurt Cobain and Nirvana because I personally think his voice is nothing special at all and neither were Nirvana. Maybe I'm biased because that's not my type of music but what's so great about Nirvana?

the big deal with Nirvana is that they made a generation's anthem using three chords! brilliant. i don't really listen to them either BUT i do acknowledge the fact that they wrote something so simple and yet so catchy.

No prob, Dan ;)

Queenrocks!, will you marry me?

No, not really :) But it's rather rare that I find someone who can appreciate both Stipe and Meat Loaf.

Oh what the hell. Let's do my full 22. But before that, I have to go on Kurt Cobain Rant No. 658 in a series of five thousand. In reality, he had a kick-ass voice for his style of music, which also happens to be a style I love and appreciate. He did not have a classically good voice, but there's no denying the man could sing. Just listen to the Unplugged show.

Back on topic...

1) Freddie Mercury
2) Meat Loaf
3) Annie Lennox
4) Chirs Cornell
5) Warren Zevon
6) Michael Stipe
7) Whitney Houston
8) Eddie Vedder
9) Melissa Etheridge
10) Noddy Holder
11) Bono
12) Bonnie Tyler
13) David Bowie
14) Natalie Maines
15) Jon Bon Jovi
16) Mick Jagger
17) Jello Biafra (no, I'm not kidding. This guy's voice is fricking amazing, whether he wants it to be or not.)
18) Kurt Cobain
19) Elton John
20) Billy Joel
21) Roger Daltrey
22) Courtney Love (not kidding about this one either.)

This is by no means a permanent list. It'll change in five minutes. If I were in the modd, Robert Plant might be on there.
