ReefaJones: The 15 Greatest Male Voices of All Time

ReefaJones 01.08.21	yup yup
ReefaJones 01.08.21	Honorable Mentions: Jon Anderson Otis Redding Sting Milton Nascimento Prince John Wetton
Divaman 01.08.21	Hmm, Tom Waits. I think he has an interesting voice, and it's effective for his material. But he'd also be on a lot of people's worst male voice lists.
ReefaJones 01.08.21	Cool people dig Tom Waits. That's a fact
ReturnToRock 01.08.21	Where the frickety frick is Freddie Mercury? You can't have a list like this without including Freddie! Also, Louis Armstrong (technically not the greatest, but one of the most unique voices, well, EVER), David Coverdale and Robert Plant would all have a case for earning a spot here.
widowslaugh123 01.08.21	Lol
ReefaJones 01.08.21	nah son
hel9000 01.08.21	Bryan Ferry
ArsMoriendi 01.08.21	Cool list I'd add Garry Shider and Gene Ween
ReiniEden 01.08.21	You have Mike Patton but no Kyo from Dir En Grey.
ReefaJones 01.08.21	I love Ween I would have never considered Gene when making this list tbh. What makes him so great in your opinion?
ArsMoriendi 01.08.21	I see him as a vocal chameleon. He can convincingly do soul (Freedom of '76), punk (You Fucked Up), and country (You Were the Fool). He's mimed everyone one from Elliot Smith (Baby Bitch) to Lemmy Kilmister (It's Gonna Be a Long Night). Ween might be such a genre hopper of a band because of Gene's abilities in vocals. Maybe? Sure he uses a lot of vocal effects, especially on their early stuff, but when he doesn't, he sounds fantastic by his own merit. Dean Ween's a pretty average singer though of course... in fact Dean's voice while usually fitting, is pretty underwhelming
ReefaJones 01.08.21	Interesting. I can see where you are coming from
ArsMoriendi 01.08.21	But also Garry Shider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt3GM2AzwSE
ReefaJones 01.08.21	Do you have some good live performances by Shider? That's a main criteria for me. If they suck live that's a no no
Divaman 01.08.21	Digging Waits isn't the same as saying he has a great voice, though. It's the same with Bob Dylan.
ReefaJones 01.08.21	I think Waits has an awesome voice. On top of that he is really fucking awesome live. What you gonna do about it?
Valkoor952 01.08.21	Freddie Mercury not being here with the presence of a few of these admissions is kind of laughable yeah
ReefaJones 01.08.21	good ol' Freddie
NorthernSkylark 01.08.21	I prefer your females, but this has Jeff so its obv nice. Thom yorke has his moments too I think. Van Morrison also.
ReefaJones 01.08.21	I find Thom Yorke's voice kind of annoying. Van Morrison isn't quite my thing either. It's all good though
BenThatsMyJamin 01.08.21	lol reefa you spent 5 pages in the grace thread arguing about how jeff wasn't one of the greatest
ReefaJones 01.08.21	I'm a contrarian what can I say.
wham49 01.08.21	steve Winwood yo
zakalwe 01.08.21	5 is 1 Needs Otis Redding, Smokey Robinson and good ‘ol Michael Stipe
Divaman 01.08.21	Say you're mistaken? (About the voice, not the live thing. I never saw him live, so I'll take your word for it.)
ReefaJones 01.08.21	Michael Stipe lol no I have to confess though. I totally forgot Freddie Mercury. Whom shall I kick from this list in order to make place for good ol' Freddie. I'm thinking either Mark Hollis or Paddy
TheAntichrist 01.08.21	list has no women
ReefaJones 01.08.21	sexism in 2021 smh
zakalwe 01.08.21	Ditch Waits
ReefaJones 01.08.21	Hell no I ain't ditching Waits
zakalwe 01.08.21	We all talk/sing like him after 8 pints and 20 benson. One off natural talent it ain’t. Stipe on the other hand.
ReefaJones 01.08.21	"We all talk/sing like him after 8 pints and 20 benson" Proof or gtfo. Stipe wouldn't make my top 100 :(
budgie 01.08.21	list needs tom g warrior
ReefaJones 01.08.21	list needs gg allin
unclereich 01.09.21	Nice list asshole!
NorthernSkylark 01.09.21	Don’t let them let you delete Tom Waits
ReefaJones 01.09.21	"Don’t let them let you delete Tom Waits" Over my dead body
