Title: Who is the greatest singer of all time?
Post by: Lincoln on February 28, 2005, 04:53:51 PM
Obviously I'm not talking way back into opera times, more like 1950's onward.

I've gotta go with Freddie Mercury from Queen. That man had an incredible voice, he could switch notes repeatedly. He had a great band and wrote great songs, but that voice...wow.

Marvin Gaye seems to be a good choice, but itīs impossible to pick just one of course. I like Mercury too

This ainīt no board about singers man, itīs dubcc, str8 rap. Itīs incredible how that gay ass faggot keeps coming up with junk topics. First The Beatles, now this. And people who got da nigga Eazy in their sig bother to respond and give props! Whatīs this world come to...so you rather listen to some weak "We Will Rock You" than to your favorite MCīs? I mean, whatīs that shit compared to

I was going to post Elvis. I'm definately a fan. When he hits a song he takes off with it. Anyone who dounts it should listen to his version "Brdidge Over Troubled Water".

This is very tough, though I'm gonna go with Al Green. I prefer Marvin in a way, but I think Al Green is a more talented singer than Marvin, so overall I'd give it to Al. Without getting technical though, it is pretty much impossible to say who the greatest is.

The greatest singer of all time, the real deal, absolute best voice there ever was, was Whitney Houston.  Nobody before or since was on her level, vocally.  Listen to "I Will Always Love You", she perfected singing whenever she sang that song.

Linkin park, Whitney Houston? LOL
Nobody could fuck with Freddie Mercury on the vocals. Nobody has the range, emotion and control that he had. He could sing anything, he could scream, whisper, sing falsetto perfectly, sing in a unbelievable high pitch.. as I said, just about anything. Listen to tracks like love of my life, bohemian rhapsody, barcelona, hammer to fall, time, don`t stop me now, good old fashioned lover boy, teo torriate

she has a good voice, but I think you need to study music some more. Twice the singer as Freddie? You abviously don`t know what youre talking about. Ignorance is bliss

She's still not better than Elvis. Whitney was a great technical sound, but she lacked the raw emotion behind that voice. There was no note she coul not hit, but it was like her voice was programmed by a computer. People like Elvis and Aretha felt the song and let those emotions sing it. People like Whitney, Mariah, and Michael Bolton learned how to sing and then try and sing those emotions. Big difference. For example, Jimi Hendrix was not as technically sound as Yngwie Malmsteen. There are things on the guitar that Yngwie can do that Jimi would probably trip up even attempting. However Jimi played with emotion and let that emotion guide his playing. Yngwie could never duplicate what Jimi did because he doesn't have it inside him.

Overrated. Like a lot of bands you like. If not, all.

I'd go with Mike Patton. He had style, a great technical sound, creativity. The dude could even scream like a grindcore pro, rap with more energy than most rappers and could do so much with his voice.

There are other singers I like quite a lot, though. Lou Reed (Velvet Underground) , Ian Curtis (Joy Division) Thom York(Radiohead), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Maynard James Keenan (Tool/A Perfect Circle), Dez Cadena (Black Flag/DC3), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth). But not because of their technical ability, but their sound. I'm not someone who cares much for technical ability or talent, if it sounds good, it's good. Talent just helps, if needed.

Oh yeah. Another great singer would be Rob Halford from Judas Priest.
