I think Bowie has a by far better voice than anybody listed there, bar Prince.

Go and listen to an album like "Station To Station" or "Heathen" and get back with me. wink

Im sorry, I like "Lets dance" and sum other song, but David Bowie doesn't do anything 4 me at all, He doesn't even touch Elton Johns, Princes, and Elvis's voice's.

If "Let's Dance" and some other song are all you know by him, you're sorely missing out!

I might step on some toes with this remark, but Prince isnt a very great ROCK-singer (in terms of raw, guitar-dominated music), his voice is to thin and he has to less lung capacity to carry of the ROCK tunes

Oh, my....! eek eek eek eek

David Bowie is one of the greatest singers of all time and that is a FACT!!!

Just listen to "Life On Mars?", "Word On A Wing", "Wild Is The Wind", "I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday" or "Bring Me The Disco King"...

And if you don't really know too much about David's music then you should stop 'talking' bullshit about Him!!! cool

I'm not much of an Elvis fan. Casual at best.

But the dude had one helluva voice. Whether your speaking about his rough "rock" voice of the earlier days of his career (a la Jailhouse Rock aka The Gayest Song Elvis Ever Sang) or his more operatic "Vegas" voice.

Personally, I prefer the Vegas voice. It had this big, booming, sad quality to it.

And here'd be my list, in no semblance of order:

David Bowie
Freddie Mercury
Prince
Janis Joplin Why am I the first to mention her? I know she's not technically rock, but she has her place in Rock History. Sure, it was rough and pretty thrashed sounding, but her voice was perfect for the music she did.
Jim Morrison
Eddie Vedder
Robert Plant
Elvis
Bob Dylan
Tom Petty
Elton John
Melissa Etheridge
Chuck Berry
Bruce Springsteen
John Lennon
Grace Slick


afterthought edit: I just realized this thread specifically asked for male singers. My bad. Aw, who fucking cares? Women rockers don't get the appreciation they deserve. smile
