How would you rate Simon Le Bon as a singer?

I love Duran Duran, but never really thought much of Le Bon's singing. Never thought he had much range. What say you?

I really like his voice. I give him an 8 out of 10!

Didn't you ask about him last year? hmmm Not that I mind since I adore him. smile It's weird because I don't really think of him solely in his singing role, but I think of the band as a whole, just like how you state it. Even when his voice cracks live, it's not seen as a negative. I'm more intrigued by his songwriting and learning the meaning behind the lyrics even after all these years.

To get an idea of his vocal style and range: The Promise, Skin Trade, The Chauffer, Save A Prayer, Come Undone, Lonely In Your Nightmare, Wild Boys

Simon LeBon is a cool MFer! cool But as a vocalist, his limited range just works within new wave, synth-pop, soft-rock, & dance-pop.
