Best voices?

Post by C-Fan »

Which artists have the best voices in your opinion? Whether or not you like the words or music doesn't matter, who are some of the people with the best voices?

Some of my choices:

Morissey (sic?)
Roy Orbison
Etta James
Q-Tip
Busta Rhymes

To answer the original question of this thread, Q-Tip. He's got one of the coolest, mellowest flows I've ever heard.

You all are so quick to tell everyone what you think. Steve asked a question, damnit.

Definitely agree with Roy Orbison, Dusty Springfield, and Tom Waits.
I'd add Thom Yorke, Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday.
Dean Martin's is pretty good a bit generic for what it was though, there's probably better.
