Your Favourite Vocalists
 

I apologize if this thread has already been opened before.

I'd like everyone here to write names of their favourite vocalists. However, it is not important to include only rock music vocalists. You can write even opera singers or pop or even rap (what I really doubt that you have) vocalists. And write as many as you want.

here is my list:

1. Kurt Cobain
2. Paul D'ianno
3. Gavin (from Bush (forgot his lastname))
4. Hethfield
5. Dido (It's weird but I really like her voice)
6. Girl from Cranberries
7. Joan Osborne
8. Vocalist of U2
9. Vocalist of Coldplay
10. Everlast

That's all I can remeber now :thumb:
