Lead Singers
 

Don't know if this thread has been done yet. But, here goes.

Who is your favorite lead singer from a band or group, or just your favorite singer?

Mine is Layne Staley (RIP) From Alice in Chains

He had a great voice and really knew how to sing.:cool:

Wow, tough to beat Lane, he was amazing.

I agree with you 100%. To bad we lost him so early on. I'm sure he could have given us much more.:(

I snickered when kurt cobain offed himself, but was truly saddened by lane staley's death. No offence to cobain, i just never thought he was as spectacular as others did, and i had a hhard time stomaching a guy who would leave a daughter behind, especially with courtney love as a mother....


Eddie Veder was really good on Ten. After than, i think Pearl Jam sucks in general.


Jim Morrison ruled. As did Marvin Gaye, and Nat King Cole.



Louis Armstrong was a god. My wife had "What a wonderful world" played for my dad at our wedding.

I also thought Bradley (Also RIP), the lead singer of Sublime was totally awesome. It's a shame we are losing all the good singers that could really do something with music.

The most senseless act of death brought upon a legendary and great singer was John Lennon. All he did was sing about peace and love and some stupid ass idiot had to take away what the world needed at the time and that was John Lennons words and songs. Pointless death. But he left behind much great music.

I never liked john lennon. i thought he was a self-absorbed, artsy fartsy asshole whop thought more of himslef than he deserved.


He certainly didnt deserve to die, though, especially so badly.

I was raised listening to John Lennon so I will always love his music. I was also raised listening to Bob Marley. Who rightously kicked major ass!!;)

i thought he was a genius - i didnt care about or truely know what he thought about himself ..
it was sad that he was in the process of making a positive uplifting comeback when he was cut down

i know yhis is old shit but what about rob zombie
and also lionel richie when he was with the commodores:D

i have to say though - that although i was raised on rock and will always love rock .. and respect the skill that screaming does take, etc ..

it doesnt hold a candle to sinatra, nat king cole, armstrong, dean martin, and the king : burt bacharach.

Like I said before. He song songs like "Imagine" and "Give peace a Chance" and he was taken out of this world in the worst way possible. By the violence he sang against. It just was so not fuckuing right.:mad: :(

And just like Rebecca Schaeffer (My Sister Sam), he was killed by someone who supposedly thought he was great.

Interesting thing about a lot of celebrity killers, apparently, all of them either had "catcher in the rye" in their possesion or their book collections.

you been watching "conspiracy theory" again

Frank Sinatra
Bobby Darin
Marvin Gaye
Prince
David Ruffin(for the period of time he was with the temptations)
Buddy Holly(Goddamn snow storm:mad: )

there's people I like from today but they sound like amateurs compared to these guys.

If you ask me I think it was a conspiracy how Bob Marley died. A total conspiracy. Hence again another great singer dying who preached about "Make love not war.":(

On the up side though and of the singers who are still alive. I love the lead singers from Seether and Audioslave. I did like the lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots until he joined Velvet Revolver.

well, its a good book ...

i have a couple of his others too :)

guess i'm goin' on a spree :)

the guy from audioslave does have a good voice.

i've never read it so i dont know the significance, but it gets mentioned a lot when people are discussing Hinkley and the other guys.

He definetly does. It's like he puts so much feeling into his songs.

you're a writer .........

and you've never read it ?


sweet jesus man thats like saying you're a zombie horror fan and never had seen Dawn of the Dead !!!!!!!!!!

chris cornell



well that's been known on this site :rolleyes:

Thank you, I couldn't think of his name to save my life.:)

shame on you Vod.

only because i have all his albums (soundgarden, audioslave and his solo stuff)

Meh, what can i say? In 1oth grade4 i had the most inadequate english teacher in history, and as a result, the next school i went to stuck me in REMEDIAL english.

11th grade was wasted being taught english basics....

fortunately, in 12th grade, my new remedial english teacher actually listened to me when i said i didnt belong (in 11th, he told me i was arrogant to think i didnt belong in his class, even though on all of my progress reports he stated i wrote at a level that exceeded his advanced placement students... cocksucker...) and i was moved into a regular level english class. By that time, i had passed the gradesd where my school required it to be read. Instead, i got Lord of the Flies and Hamlet.

i have a few .. but despite my efforts, the music wouldnt stick ..
same as alice and chains ... it grates on my nerves despite my efforts.

i never read it in school ..
i was always a crazy reader .. eveything i could get my hands on .. which is why i had a tough time in school english .. the stuff we had o read was boring (with the exception of To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Crysalids, etc)
I wouldnt read the book, and then the day the essay was due i'd ask my friend what it was about - and write the essay there in then in class while we were supposed to be doing something with a new book.

he'd get a 60% and i'd get a 65%.
wasnt much motivation for me if i could get a low passing mark without trying.

of course .. i'd do it differently now ...

a few lead singers that can sing and not bust my speakers, some you lot may not have heard of...

Kaiser Chiefs
Keane
Doves
Snow Patrol
Stereophonics
Dido
Gwen Stefani

wasn't chris cornell and eddie vedder in
temple of the dog?

I love Trent Reznor. Not necesarrily what would classically called a good singing voice, but he isnt bad, and it is perfect for the music he makes.

I am actually a big fan of music where talented vocals arent too terribly important:

Underworld
Chemical Brothers
The Prodigy


Come to think of it, the English make some fucking great music, dont they? :)

How about we give it up for the best white blues singer of all time.....none other than Greg Allman, followed by Warren Haynes.

Dave Matthews has a pleasant voice as does Sting.

It depends on what mood I'm in.

Yes, TOTD was basically made up of SOundgarden and Pearl Jam members.

i also like the lead singer of filter luv that
song hey man nice shot it is one of the best:D

haven't heard much of Dido's stuff but she's got a good voice and I really like Gwen Stefani(not just for her voice:D )

my favorite of today's singers.

Truly gifted and talented singers (at least according to the japaneese and germans)

David Hasselhoff
Jennifer Love Hewitt


:)

I like Prodigy. I like "Firestarter" and "Smck My Bitch Up". I loved the video to smack my bitch up, but they only played it like three times on tv.

lmao your kidding right?:(

Jennifer Love Hewitt is very irritating to me in so many ways. She makes me want to fuckin scratch my eyes out. Thats just my opinion though.;) :)

the song "Hot Shot City" is particularly good. ;)
