Default Your Favorite Singer EVAR!!!
Who's voice do you enjoy most, of all time?
For me there's so many it's almost impossible to nail it down. Most, if not all of them, are women.

I'm going to go with Alison Krauss.
Honorable mention to Sade, Whitney Houston, and Lucinda Williams. Sade drove me nuts, Whitney just had talent, Lucinda is just badass. There's so many more that go way back, but I'll leave it at that.

Oddly, my favorite song ever is Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Andy Williams.
That one is super easy. There's not a day gone by in 30 years I didn't hear that song in my head and it never gets old.
Go ahead and throw your favorite song in there, too. It'll be cool to see if it matches your artist.

Nice ! I probably put Robert Plant down as first. He was one Guitar Magazine's " Rock's big three" for his multiple octave range capacity. The other two at the time were Rob Halford and Freddy Mercury (1977? )
No Bruce Dikinson ?

Other than that, I'm all over the map... mostly for their individuality. You hear them once, you know who they are.

Phil Lynott / Thin Lizzy
Bon Scott / The original AC-DC
Peter Steele / Type O-Negative
Mike Patton / Faith No More ( Mr Bungle )
Mike Ness / Social Distortion
Chris Cornell / SoundGarden - Audioslave
Chris Barnes / Six Feet Under
Willie De Ville / Mink DeVille

Women-
Angela Gossow / Arch Enemy
Jessica Charlotte Poland / Charlotte Sometimes ( N.Y. )
Chrissie Hynde / Pretenders

Just can't pic two...

For ballsy male singers, some often overlooked include Gregg Allman and Johnny Winter. And for mellow males, it's hard to beat Mel Torme.

It wouldn't have been as funny if you hadn't used a huge font.

i liked Natalie a lot too.

Adele aint to shabby.

For great timeless love songs i listen to

and Jimmy Beaumont of the Skyliners.

Female is easy for me....Gladys Knight (Hey, I'm a Detroit boy).

Male is tougher. From the Motown/Philadelphia genre, Phillipe Wynne, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson.

From Rock? Chris Cornell (going to Soundgarden tonight), Robert Plant...and Janis for the ladies of Rock. (That's Janis Joplin, not Janis Jackson).
