You have to pick ONE male singer whose singing voice you will have for the rest of your life. You don't necessarily have to sing in the same style, but you will have the same qualities. Who will it be? For me, it's down to Brian Wilson, Elvis, and Macca, but I choose Elvis for #1.

Tom from Tom York and the Radioheads
David Thomas
Try singing along to Pere Ubu songs. It's impossible.
>>73839866
Dio
Tim Buckley
Josh Homme.
That guy from future islands but instead of singing for a mediocre synthpop band id front an experimental post punk band or maybe even go singer songwriter and do some shit inspired by tom waits and nick cave

Freddie Mercury
Hands down David Allen Coe
>>73839866
OP here. Forgot to say why. From now on, justify responses.
Elvis:
>greatest breath control I've ever heard
>amazing vibrato, faster than anyone
>great pitch control and stability
>amazing range with power down to low E (bass range), also can pass for a tenor
>good diction, phrasing
Elvis was the most talented singer of the last Century, undoubtedly
Matt Berninger from The National. He's got a great clear deep voice.
>>73839866
Marvin Gaye so I could sing the panties off anyone
Paul McCartney
>>73840035
oh yeah that's a good one
Frank Sinatra.
>>73840060
I love how two people have said Paul but nobody will ever say John Lennon.
>>73840083
they don't the heart to do that to their wives
80's Bono.
Johnny Cash
I honestly think my voice is fine but for mainstream rock bands, I think I would kill for le pipes of Freddie Mercury.
Kurt Cobain screaming sounds really good too but I don't think I would trade.
>>73839866
Freddie mercury of course
>>73839866
Mid-90's Chris Cornell
>>73839866
either sam cooke or brenton wood for me
Morrissey feels like a pretty safe choice
>>73840110
The only place where you should hit your woman is her cervix
>>73839866
Carl Wilson or Brian Wilson
Method man.
Spencer Chamberlain. I envy his screaming abilities so much, and his singing on Underoath's last album is pretty similar to my singing style already, but better
>>73839866
Myself, I'm a good singer
fuck off fags
Demis Roussos

I'm bass baritone but all the singers I like have a tenor range.
kurdt or >>73840116
>>73840026
I dunno, I'm not that thrilled by Elvis, even at his best. Roy Orbison blows me away though.
Captain Beefheart for sure. I wanna break glass with my voice.
>>73839866
Gustavo Cerati
>>73841345
I kinda wonder what else he could have done with his voice if he hadn't settled on that particular style.
Peter Silberman because range and timbre
This man's voice is a fucking rollercoaster of pitch and dynamics
Fuck the singing part I want that retarded outfit
Nick Cave all day every day, he's Johnny Cash and David Bowie rolled into one.
Phil Ochs for sure
>>73841437
patrish
>>73839866
Mike Patton. I'd have a wider octave range than all of you niggas
I like Dennis DeYoung's voice a lot. He always seemed like Queen but with his own style. Which I love
It would probably sound weird because I'm not black, but maybe Jackie Wilson.
