who be your favorite MALE singer?

[CowboyfromHell666]

Rob Halford
Bruce Dickinson

i second this 100%

EDIT: oh and Ronnie James Dio, James Hetfield, and Phil Anselmo

 

[AvsJoe]

Hmm... The frontman for Children of Bodom I guess. I don't know his name. I've never put any thought into who my favourite male singer is, I'm surprised.

 

[The_Blue_Rider]

Ozzy Osbourne

 

[randomrob]

Paul Mcartney. I dunno, he's just awesome. or he was in the 60's-80's, he's getting a bit past it now.

 

[tsatoma]

Matthew Bellamy from Muse
Maynard James Keenan from Tool
Serj Tankian from SOAD
Isaac Brock from Modest Mouse
Damon Albarn from Gorillaz/Blur

 

[Tharwen]

Weird Al

Not for his voice, but for his incredible creative talent.

 

[Prof.Wood]

Tim Minchin a god amoung men.
Also I'm partial to Neil Patrick-Harris and Enrique Iglesias.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I have a few favorites:
Anders Fridén (In Flames)
Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity)
Matthew Bellamy (Muse)
Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode)
Marting Gore (Depeche Mode)

 

[Projekt Spartan]

Chris Cornell (Audioslave/Soundgarden)

 

[revjay]

It's a tie between Jim Morrison and Robert Plant. I'm sure if I thought about it I could make it more of a tie but those two are ahead of the pack.

NATHAN EXPLOSION!

Just kidding. Maynard James Keenan. Tool.

And Dave Grohl sucks. He's got a whiny voice and constantly sounds like he's out of breath.

 

[JokerCrowe]

Chris Martin (coldplay), the singer in the Swedish band Kent (Jocke Berg), Jonathan Coulton ( I Crush Everything <3) and my friend Jonatan Vihtari, he's got an amazing voice : ). And I like the voice of the guy singing in Metallica.

EDIT: do people forget that Michael Jackson was a man? (I'm not a fan, but I'm surprised to not see his name here... oh, wait, no I'm not )

 

[jpoon]

Maynard James Keenan of Tool. He's a badass and as far as I'm concerned still creates some amazing lyrics.

 

[Tuddle]

Serj Tankian

 

[Scizophrenic Llama]

Hansi Kursch from Blind Guardian.
Russell Allen from Symphony X.

 

[Vern]

Tom Waits.

I did not expect anyone to take my answer...gonna have to go with Tom Waits.

Honestly I didn't expect two people to agree with me. I can't understand how more people don't realize what a great singer, song writer, musician, and performer he is. Kudos on your good taste though.

 

[Fellwarden]

Tough choice. Anders Fridén, Björn Strid, Christian Älvestam, David Draiman and Serj Tankian are all fantastic vocalists. I think I'll have to go for Björn "Speed" Strid though, he's amazing.
