Best Rock Voices?

Don't be silly!!

If you can get past the fact that in this clip he acts like a Butlins redcoat and he has a silly surname, there's a lot to be said for Graham Bonnet.

Rainbow ... now there's another blast from the past ... a rocker from the locker ... a rave from the grave ... an oldie but a goldie ... a platter that mattered.

Don't be silly!!

Who's being silly? I agree with Mr Nutt.

The thread asked for Best Rock Voices. Ignore the glitter suits, platform shoes and Butlin's style popularism and Noddy Holder has one of the greatest voices ever. I saw Slade live a couple of times back in the 80's and he was simply unbelievably good. He could out-shout most rock vocalists without a mike - and never miss a note. A truly awesome talent. I nearly posted a clip myself before MrE beat me to it.

It's a voice with no depth, no tone. It's just shouty.

I have to add Freddie Mercury in here too, out of all the rock singers I have heard live, nobody can touch him.

Bon Scott

Fuck yeah! Bon Scott's mischievous character nuanced voice was one of a kind and so suited to the innuendo laden lyrics of many of ACDC's songs. The raw and uninhibited quality of his voice got right to the heart of the rock ethos.



I'll add Chrissy Amphlett ...





...Jimmy Barnes...





...and Janis Joplin ...

...and Janis Joplin ...

I think the whole band managed to do that, AC/DC nailed it from the start. No fuss just straight up Rock, and it sounded perfect. I think his persona carried well in his voice, and it helped bring a real edge to the music.

Seconded on Joplin. One of the most powerful female voices I've ever heard.

I forgot to add one of my favourites; Phil Mogg.

Hendrix.

Not a particularly great voice, but he put himself in the lyrics.

[Hermit]

Nina Hagen. Her voice ranges from alto to soprano, and her classical training shows. Her 1979 album, Unbehagen, is a ripper. Have a listen to Alptraum and Herrmann Hiess Er.

Unfortunately she has become a Christian some years ago.

She sang on an Apocalyptica album, didn't she?

[Hermit]

Yes,

and the lyrics are quite something. ...komm in mein' Mund...

She could be quite the stirrer. At on stage she got a lot of Austrians into a flap, so to speak, when she demonstrated a female masturbation technique live on a television show.

Embeds pretty well.

Is that?

You're all wrong, of course. There is only one name in the hat.

David Coverdale


Oh, and this is me.
