Cerys Matthews......no no no no.

[cate]

Maybe the thread should be called Who has One of the Greatest voices in music. There is no "Greatest" voice.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Noddy Holder.

[KidKruger]

Fair point Cate, it's totally subjective.

I would plumb for Jimmy Scott, only blues singer in his 70s I know who's voice hasn't broken, his timing is amazing.

[Keef]

Sure this thread has been done before. Anyway, Solomon Burke.

[jimmy two times]

It's funny but Reading some of the names a few would probably make it into my worst voice in music list, and that wouldn't include renee. Still that's just my opinion and opinions are like a#seholes. We've all got one.

Has no-one yet mentioned the powerful yet pleasing light baritone of Derek out of Crystal Swing and that...?

[ratty]

Shane McGowan

Are we talking technically amazing singers (yer Whitney Houstons and co back in the day) or people who have a ?voice? (Neil Young? Geddy Lee? Stuart Staples?)

[Jeremy]

Ronan Keating

Dane Bowers

Peter Andre

[HonaloochieB]

I reckon it's whatever you want SM, so you can go right ahead with CC.

On the basis of a 'voice' I'll be going with Ian Hunter, predictably enough, with honourable mentions to Bob Dylan, Billy Bragg, Lee Brilleaux, Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan.

On the tecnically good singers, Kirsty McColl and Levi Stubbs spring to mind.
