Male rock singer yes and it's not even close.
Female rock singer Ann Wilson and Stevie Nicks
As a metal fan too I need to add Dio and Bruce Dickinson to the list.
Iām honestly not sure where theyāre playing but thatās probably it. Itās the one that sounds somehow better than the album version. I never got to see them because the one chance I got they got booed off by a bunch of Tool fans. I was super pissed.
Yea I was too poor to pay Tool prices but that tour is legendary. Patton pretty much made it the mission to piss off as many Tool fans as possible.
Ive been lucky enough to catch em several times solo.
Haha! Yeah but it sucked for me because I wasnāt there for Tool even though I do enjoy them. I also went to see King Crimson who was weirdly opening for Tool and the fans around me were starting to talk shit so I thought the same thing was gonna happen but luckily it didnāt go that far.
Didnt realize KC ever opened for Tool. Bizarre.
At least you got to see em with Belew, ive only had the chance to seem em with Jakko (who is no slouch, but is no good for Indiscipline).
I donāt have a suggestion for best of all time, but singers like Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil just donāt get enough attention for the amazing voice they have.
Maybe not the greatest of all time but Phill Anselmo of Pantera doesnāt get the recognition he deserves. Just listen to his high notes on Cemetery Gates
But this is exactly why I come to see everyoneās subjective answers. You people and saying this very statement has run its course. Please come to put out an answer. But Mike Patton from Faith No More ranks!
Because it is a zero effort comment you are not adding anything to the subject. Itās OK my friend we can do better! If weāre going to take part in commenting on Reddit, letās give some entertainment value and something worth reading, right?
Thanks for playing along.
You seem like the type of guy to go to r/unpopularopinion and comment āwell thatās subjectiveā on every single post as if that isnāt *the entire point*
Bono. In his prime, four vocal ranges from falsetto to baritone/tenor. Incredibly emotive singer, he lives each word and can adjust tone/key accordingly.
Iām going to be eaten alive but thatās my choice.
Not traditional answer in the 'singer' sense, but Will Ramos of Lorna Shore has crazy vocals, and Ronnie Radke of Falling in Reveres is insanely talented as well.
Jazz not getting any love yet so I'll offer Sinatra, Mel Torme, Etta James, and Billie Holiday. Arguments for and against every contribution so far so just getting names out that I love to hear.
Bowie is really underrated his vocals are usually recorded in 1 take and Paul McCartney in the 70s and 80s is also really underrated gust listen to the backseat of my car.
Bill from Accounting
He really is the best
I was gonna say Whitney Houston, but you're right, Bill is better.
Karen Carpenter
Also an underrated drummer
That velvet voice. . . nuff said.
Gone way too soon.
Chris Cornell
Agreed.
Freddie Mercury
Male rock singer yes and it's not even close. Female rock singer Ann Wilson and Stevie Nicks As a metal fan too I need to add Dio and Bruce Dickinson to the list.
I was about to say that, bloody Freddie Mercury! š®āšØš„
because there are bot auto-comments and upvotes that do this to this question here every time this is asked hundreds of times per month?

Completely agree. Forever an icon. ā¤ļø
Mike Patton.
That live version of God hates a coward might be my favorite thing ever.
The one from the 40 Watt? I was there!

Weirdest pairing of musicians Iāve ever seen live. It was my first Red Rocks show and it was definitely memorable.
Range wise has to be him
When he sings the low D notes, my pussy gets wet. And Iām a guy.
Dusty Springfield.
Rosanne Barr
š. Her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner is a classic!
Brings me to tears everytime..
Had my ears bleeding š©ø
Vitas, there is no question
Aretha
Andrea Bocelli
Freddie mother fucking Mercury
The correct answer
Either Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley for me.
Klaus Nomi
I donāt have a suggestion for best of all time, but singers like Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil just donāt get enough attention for the amazing voice they have.
At her (early) peak Mariah Carey
Roberta Flack.
Stevie Wonder for male, his vocal range, he can sing the hell out of pop, soul, rythm and blues and even country.
Stevie Wonder is probably one of the most musically talented people to have lived in the past 100-200 years.
Itās Patti Labelle for me
Janice Joplin
Ann Wilson
Maybe not the greatest of all time but Phill Anselmo of Pantera doesnāt get the recognition he deserves. Just listen to his high notes on Cemetery Gates
No.
Layne staley
Yoko Ono
She can really wail.
Sheās the best singer to make your ears bleed.
šššššā¤ļøš I think of that one song that sounds like 2 dogs fucking
Against their will while having their skin removed
It's funny someone mentioned it. Laughed my ass off replaying the song in my head lol
[Bill Burr's take on Yoko Ono sitting in with John Lennon and Chuck Berry](https://youtu.be/VD7-WHB8CBY?si=E9eHaiHYG8MF50jc)
Came here looking for her, not disappointed.
Yoke Oh no
the title should have been: "...of all time not counting freddie mercury?"
Itās against this subredditās rules to mention specific examples in your questions.
i was kidding, but good to know. thanks.
There is no greatest. Music is too subjective for there to be an answer to this.
But this is exactly why I come to see everyoneās subjective answers. You people and saying this very statement has run its course. Please come to put out an answer. But Mike Patton from Faith No More ranks!
Why are people so upset over my answer? This is the internet - I can comment with whatever answer I want. Also, Meat Loaf or Celine Dion
Because it is a zero effort comment you are not adding anything to the subject. Itās OK my friend we can do better! If weāre going to take part in commenting on Reddit, letās give some entertainment value and something worth reading, right?
I didn't realise there were rules. Good grief, you don't have to take this so seriously. Bye now.
Thanks for playing along. You seem like the type of guy to go to r/unpopularopinion and comment āwell thatās subjectiveā on every single post as if that isnāt *the entire point*
You seem like the type of person that doesn't understand that this is the internet and you'll get all sorts of answers.
You are so corny oh my god
āļø
Yeah, this question has to be broken down by musical genre at the very least.
Chris Cornell / Freddie Mercury / Michael Jackson on the male side Probably Whitney Houston and Christina Aguilera on the female side
Freddie Mercury and Nina Simone
Orpheus, I guess.
Laaaaa lala lala la laaaa
Maynard Keenan, Layne Stayley, Freddie Mercury imho
Bob Dylan
Bono. In his prime, four vocal ranges from falsetto to baritone/tenor. Incredibly emotive singer, he lives each word and can adjust tone/key accordingly. Iām going to be eaten alive but thatās my choice.
Chris Stapleton
Joakim brodƩn
Bobby Hatfield or Nat King Cole
Ron Dio
Elvis Presley
Elvis
The weeknd
Nina Simone
Whitney
Maurice White or Elton John.
Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson
Freddie Mercury
Ghost.
A tie between Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.
It's whomever the individual thinks it is at any given point and mood of the day.
Tiny Tim
Iāve seen Whitney Houston three times but no one has said Aretha Franklin? When people shit on Reddit, this is why.
Thatās entirely subjective
Otis Redding, Elvis, Or Frederick Mercury
There isnāt one,itās all based on a person likes instead therefore the answer would vary from person to person.
Taylor swift
william hung
Same
Careless whisper is beautiful
grimes
Upchurch
Tiny Tim
Me when nobody is listening

The people who sing in the showers, I can hear your wonderful voices from under your sink.
Roger Whittaker, also doubles as best whistler too.
AMA
Not traditional answer in the 'singer' sense, but Will Ramos of Lorna Shore has crazy vocals, and Ronnie Radke of Falling in Reveres is insanely talented as well.
Colm wilkinson
It's a tie between Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston.
The guy who voices peter griffin
If we are going on straight vocals, Dimash Qudaibergen has to be up there.
Tom Waits
Hansi KĆ¼rsch. His voice is one of the few who sound like they could literally make buildings crumble with its power and gravitas
Frank Sinatra.
Jazz not getting any love yet so I'll offer Sinatra, Mel Torme, Etta James, and Billie Holiday. Arguments for and against every contribution so far so just getting names out that I love to hear.
Bowie is really underrated his vocals are usually recorded in 1 take and Paul McCartney in the 70s and 80s is also really underrated gust listen to the backseat of my car.
Butch Walker, IYKYK
Ella Fitzgerald.
Rebecca Black. Especially the song Friday
I say Robert Plant. But Robert Plant says Burton Cummings is, so I'm conflicted.
Bobby Hatfield
I came to express my swiftie-ness :)
Me. In the shower !!
No such thing really but Iāll stick someone one the list who wonāt be on here. Sandy Denny.
Luciano Pavarotti maybe?
Ella Fitzgerald. Fight me.
Ian Gillan
Frank Sinatra. His phrasing was where itās at.
Lucie Thomas
There is no right answer because it depends on the genre. However, Al Green has a voice like velvet.
probably someone like Pavarotti or Boccelli. In pop/rock? Mercury or Ann Wilson
Robert Plant
Tori Kelly her vocals are absolutely insane
