Mc ride could do it better

not the greatest but definitely in the top 10

>>73869076

Great vocal range. Pat Benatar's was right up there too.

Maria Callas

Klaus Meine

>>73869099
Literally the voice of an angel

>>73869099
>>73869308

are you guys thinking of carl?

>>73869349
Carl didn't have that heavenly falsetto

>>73869076
Chris Cornell

>>73869076
Definitely up there.

Nowadays my vote would go to Chris Corner/IAMX.

>>73869436
brian is obviously the true genius behind the beach boys but i personally think carl could sing circles around his brothers

Why are all the good ones dead?

>>73869076
He's really good, but he's not Mike Patton

My choice would probably be Macca. He's not my favorite Beatles but I believe he was musically the most talented.

>>73869076
Pretty good choice, good range.

>>73869099
Brian was amazing until he lost his voice, but everything from the 60s to the mid 70s sounds beautiful

>>73869349
Carl's underrated af but not better than Brian

>>73869567
Good voice but not one of the best

>>73869714
I think he has more stage charisma and not a better voice

>>73870486
Same as Cornell, good but not one of the best

Always loved Michael Jackson's voice, particularly while he was still in his prime. Prince as well for that matter. Any nigga that can hit the high notes gets a tick in my book.

Here's the thing about Freddie. The man had some serious pipes. He had a 4 octave range and he excelled in any octave. He wrote brilliant songs. And his stage presence was only matched by Adolf Hitler. Seriously, watch them play Radio Gaga at Live Aid and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We had better thank our lucky stars Freddie didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world. But Queen as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Freddie Mercury backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Queen what it is. Yes, Freddie wrore Somebody to Love, Killer Queen, and Bohemian Rhapsody, but Brian May wrote We Will Rock You, Save Me, and Fat Bottom Girls, John Deacon wrote I Want to Break Free, Another One Bites the Dust, and You're my Best Friend, and Roger Taylor wrote Radio Gaga and It's a Kind of Magic. Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Queen was this perfect storm of legendary talent, and Freddie was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae. He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of combo that was Queen to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Roger, Brian, and John, and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes. Yes, he was the most incredible front man who ever lived, hands down.

But Carl's vibrato was far superior.

>>73869714
Yep, Diamond Dave

Lil B is number one.

Then you'll shit yourself when you hear the Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson collabs.

>>73869712
their cut of I was made to love her always makes me sad because it pales so much in comparison to the motown version

>>73874710
its hard to compete with stevie wonder but i think they did a pretty good job.

>>73875565
Carl did pretty well, but the carol kaye playing with a pick trying to play a james jamerson line makes me cringe a little
