Best singer ever?

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Mike Patton has a ridiculous range as far as his vocal stylings. Maynard's voice is one of my favorites as well. Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth is pretty damn impressive though.

Oh my god! I'm adding you to my friends based on your name and avatar alone.

EDIT- Forgot my favorite singers. Probably Thom Yorke, Robert Plant, Jeff Mangum, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, or Sufjan Stevens.

Wow, I'm glad the Tick pushes someone's button. Thom Yorke has a very neat voice, I must agree. Despite not really singing per se, Lemmy has an awesome voice. Same with Matt Pike. As far as more melodic singing goes, I have to mention Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. The man can rock and sing in a lovely falsetto. That requires BALLS.

For some reason, I've been saying "Monkey out of nowhere!" all day. Such a funny show.

It does mean somthing to me, which is why 8 octave is a load of crap, only one person in the world is recorded to have an 8 octave range, Georgia Brown, who still only has 5 octaves of singing range. The biggest male range is 6 octaves and Jeff has a 4 octave range. Still impressive but still human.

I should probably know better than to present something a radio presenter says as fact. A quick google search appears to have proven you right.

Serj Tankian from System of a Down. Sadly because of the different genres of music it is hard to pick a 'Best singer ever' because they are all different. It's like comparing a Emu to a Kangaroo.

Im surprized noone mentioned Matthew Bellamy from Muse. That guy is amazingly talented.

Jon Nödtveidt of Dissection, may he rest in peace. T-T

[I Am Pigeon]

Jim Morrison, Robert Plant and Bob Dylan. I wouldn't say they're the best singers though, but they are definitely my favourite to listen to.
