we have covered the instruments....what about the voice???

[Saltheart]

For a beautiful voice , I like Dolly Parton. every time I say that people say i like her boobs but in fact i don't like big boobs. However , i do think she has a beautiful voice.

now , with so many artists from all over the world and all the different styles , etc , there are some beautiful vocal acts out there.

i also like Enya.

The Dolly brought clairity to me, if their singing like they enjoy it it just sounds better. dont care for anyone that acts like it hurts or its a job.
that goes for any style, etc. must be why i like the sound of steel drums. dont worry be happy.

I in now way like country music in any form but......probably the most "beautiful" voice by far is Alison Krauss.She really does have an incredible voice.Listen to her with Union Station,incredible to say the least.Would love to hear her do a Maiden song .

All depends what venue;

but my fav all time singers are the following (some are rock singers some are not but they are all acknowledged as influencing music today)

David Bowie ( Alladin Sane was his best work vocally especially "Time")
Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music ( Listen to "Avalon")
Roger Daltrey ( Nothing compares to "Who's Next" aka "Lifehouse" "Behind Blue eyes")
Robert Plant ("Battle of Evermore")
K.D.Lang (Ingenue and Shadowlands "Black Coffee")
Ricky Lee Jones ( "Making Whoopee")
Loreena McKennit ( "All Souls Night")
Frank Sinatra (Anything from the 50's and 60's)
Bobby Darin ( "Mack the Knife")
Lou Rawls ("Willow weep for me")
Marvin Gaye ( "What's goin on")
Aretha Franklin ( "That's what I'm gonna do")
Warren Zevon ("Splendid Isolation")
Bob Marley ("Wait in Vain")
Bob Seger (Slim Whitman's classic "Blame it on the Moonlight")

There are many more but when I think of artists that use or have used thier voices to make musical history of great influence those are some of my favorites.

I agree. She's raised the bar for accuracy, clarity, tone, range, and everything else.
