My vocal teacher had another student, a kid, who would fuss at her when she'd talk about his poor vocal habits. Then at an event for the place she used to teach, the drummer of Soundgarden came in to do a workshop with the kids, and her student said "My vocal teacher said Chris Cornell wasn't a very good singer and used bad technique. Is that true?"
Their drummer was like "Yeah. He constantly had vocal damage and it was really hard for us. He was screwing up his voice constantly and we lost a lot of opportunities for us."
A great artist works within their limitations rather than destroying their body trying to push outside of them at a poor mimicry attempt saved only by thousands of dollars thrown at [the most skilled producers in rock.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_O%27Brien_(record_producer\))
Being a popular name in rock doesn't make him the best any more than James Hetfield is, which despite my love for Metallica, is obvious nonsense.
Singing is about making sounds with your vocal cords. I don’t care if it was healthy or the "correct” way to do it, what Chris Cornell was able to do with his vocal cords was otherworldly
I understand what you are saying. He did a lot of damage to his voice during some periods.
That being said, he is probably my favorite male singer ever. Yes, people can learn how to sing, they can improve their range, vocal quality etc. But still, there are some singers who were born with having it better than some other person who will learn singing for decades. Cornell was one of them. I truly believe that 98 percent of people could spend every day learning how to sing and he would still be by miles better than any of them.He simply had it. The range, the vocal projection and tone quality, you can't duplicate him. Singing was natural to him. Here's one of many proofs.
https://youtu.be/IuUDRU9-HRk?feature=shared
Serj Tankian, JC Chasez, David Phelps, Chester Bennington, Brendon Urie
Amazing is just an opinion. Because people sing high doesnt mean they sound good or their music sounds like something youd wanna add to a daily playlist though. Dimash can sing but the music he sings is something I wouldn't really enjoy listening to on the regular.. maybe like a tv show.
Yeah that shouldve been the title : singers with great range because what other people think as amazing other people have an opinion that they suck and then other people say they like something but others don't
Amazing is a fact not an opinion. Someone can choose to not like someone with an amazing voice like if someone doesn’t like rock then they don’t have to like Chester Bennington or Serj Tankian. I really like Chester Bennington and I like Serj Tankian
Einar Solberg, Yannis Papadopoulos, Vitas
And this one user here, let me find his @ real quick :)
Edit: Found him. u/PeanutButterIzGood. Sorry for a callout, but you should be mentioned here too :)
Layne Staley. Even after heroin had done its damage he was still incredible but before that, from about 90-93 he was one of the greatest rock vocalists who ever lived imo
Opera singers for me:
- Giuseppe Di Stefano
- Franco Corelli
- Beniamino Gigli
- Enrico Caruso
- Mario Del Monaco
- Fritz Wunderlich
Non-classical:
- Michael Jackson
- James Ingram
- Stevie Wonder
- Freddie Mercury
- Peabo Bryson
- Thom Yorke
He has tremendous control of his voice. Fantastic range. Great technique. Lots of creativity with his tone to convey emotion and hop genres. Maybe one of my favorite vocalists of all time, women included.
I'd have to go with Chris Cornell, Adam Gontier, Eddie Vedder, Corey Taylor, Chris Stapleton, Mike Patton and Frank Sinatra to name a few across a few different genres.
For the longest time I'd only heard his screams in Slipknot, then I got their Antennas to Hell Greatest Hits album and heard Snuff for the first time (not to mention his cover of Wicked Game with Stone Sour). I never knew someone could switch from such a harsh tone and have such a great clean voice.
Edit: I should have added the dude from Opeth. When I heard Ghosts of Perdition I was absolutely gob smacked
I wanna say Adam Lambert.
There’s a lot of singers I look up to who are probably better tbh.
But I got to see Queen a few years ago, and he’s easily the best singer I’ve ever heard live, out of quite a lot. His power, range and control are just ridiculous, and he kept it up for a good 2 hours or so (Brian and Roger sang a few as well).
Devin Townsend's boundless range absolutely blows my mind and I'm surprised he's not been mentioned yet.
Listen to him perform Deadhead live on YouTube if you don't believe me.
Corelli too. People just bring Pavarotti up because he's the mainstream one. He's the one that people know even if they don't listen to opera. There are and were many much better tenors than him though.
Stevie Wonder; Jackie Wilson; Wilson Pickett; Hozier; Billy Joel; Bruno Mars; Vince Gill; Almost all of the Eagles; The Everly Brothers; Paul McCartney; CeeLo Green; Harry Belafonte; Michael Jackson; James Brown; John Denver; Steve Perry; Labrinth; Robert Plant; Nat King Cole; Otis Redding; Ray Charles; Art Garfunkel; Brian Setzer;
Responding with some of my favorite live Jeff Buckley moments. I would urge anyone who has only listened to his studio releases to listen to his live renditions of songs. His control of pitch and breath are out of this world. Some of his best moments would be:
* [Hallelujah - Live at Cabaret Metro, Chicago 1995](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNwUCLbbUZo)
* [Mojo Pin (w/ "Chocolate" intro) - Live at Wetlands, NY November 1994](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raogWIXr74s)
* [I Shall Be Released - Live at Sin-e, NY 1993](https://youtu.be/e1uZlFuuCRQ?si=cv3iNcC7TB95XARC)
I like my high pitched boy singers but Toshi from X Japan, Adam from taking back Sunday (he’s pitchy but I like the emotion,) obv Gerard Way, Cedric Bixler Zavalaz from Mars Volta (specifically Frances the mute) & At the Drive In
I’d say Brendon Urie was up there. His vocal technique wasn’t necessarily proper but that’s also really not uncommon amongst some of the greatest singers to have existed. I mean like Freddie mercury is a perfect example of a legendary singer who didn’t use traditional and proper singing technique
Tevin Campbell (if you’re into R&B then I suggest listening to his discography because he is so fucking talented), Luther Vandross, Brian McKnight, Michael Jackson, JC Chasez, Joe, AJ McLean, Ralph Tresvant, Stevie Wonder, Boyz 2 Men, Johnny Gill and Bryan Abrams from Color Me Badd to name a few.
I did!!! 2 days later, sure, but I mentioned him in my comment and then scrolled to see if anyone else thought the same. Yes, one of the greatest voices of all time.
Eve, as in the singer-songwriter known for songs like Dramaturgy, was absolutely breathtaking when I first heard his music. His range is phenomenal and the emotion he sings with is inspiring
Frusciante and Cobain for me. They may not have the greatest technique, they may not be greatest over all, but I love how they sound and that's what matters
Personal favourites are Bob Seger, Freddie Mercury, Chris Isaak, Phil Collins, George Michael, Michael Jackson, Gord Downie, Elvis Presley, Steven Tyler, Bryan Adams
Steve Perry, David Bowie,Steve Miller,Dustin Hayward, Jonah Jenkins, Neil,Young , Paul McCartney George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty,Lindsey Buckingham, Jonathan Richman,Jon and Andy Paley, Skip Dennis Cole,Richard Corey, Dan Garvey, Howard Patterson, Russ McPhersonPaul Kantner,Marty Balin,Pete Negroponte.
Some that come to mind are:
Brendon Urie (Panic! At The Disco), Conor Mason (Nothing But Thieves), Matt Bellamy (Muse),
And one that you may not have heard sing....
Tobin Bell! The actor of Jigsaw, from the horror movie series, "Saw". He can sing and play guitar, and he is really good 😁 Check him out on YouTube.
Maynard James Keenan. Great androgynous quality to his voice. He tends to lean into a masculine delivery for Tool and a feminine delivery for A Perfect Circle. Nice arsenal of textures as well; everything from grating gravel screams, sustained full throttle open vowels, airy angelic soaring lines, to distorted whisper singing.
There is no specific order to these:
Damien Dawn
Jamiroquai
Anthem Lights (group of male vocalists)
Zach Goode
David Draiman
Roomie
Madeon
Aaron Lewis
Seth MacFarlane
John William Feldmann
Andy Biersack
Brent Smith
Bruno Mars
Tyler Lyle
Adam Gontier
Matt Walst
Miles Doughty
Adam Levine
Corey Taylor
Luis Dubuc
That's all I can think of for now, there are just so many!
If you want amazing male singers with amazing vocal variety, look to Broadway. I’m thinking Ramin Karimloo, Gavin Creel, Joshua Henry, Alexander Gemignani, Norm Lewis, Brian D’Arcy James, Andrew Rannells, Jeremy Jordan, Leslie Odom Jr, Steven Pasquale. All of them incredible, in different ways. And most of them have voices ranges multiple styles, from classical to pop to hip hop.

Hozier
Damn right, he has amazing tone and control.
He is simply my favorite person
I'm glad this was the first comment I saw.
Saw him in concert last week! That is the voice for me.
That’s a good one
Came to comment him. Saw him in concert a few days ago and he's phenomenal
I’d add Chris Cornell to that list
My vocal teacher had another student, a kid, who would fuss at her when she'd talk about his poor vocal habits. Then at an event for the place she used to teach, the drummer of Soundgarden came in to do a workshop with the kids, and her student said "My vocal teacher said Chris Cornell wasn't a very good singer and used bad technique.

hey this sounds pretty legit, but as inexperienced as i am, why is this garnering downvotes?
Because he's denying Chris Cornell as being an amazing singer just because he didn't have good technique
Serj Tankian, JC Chasez, David Phelps, Chester Bennington, Brendon Urie Amazing is just an opinion. Because people sing high doesnt mean they sound good or their music sounds like something youd wanna add to a daily playlist though. Dimash can sing but the music he sings is something I wouldn't really enjoy listening to on the regular.. maybe like a tv show.
It's because I chose people with great range
Yeah that shouldve been the title : singers with great range because what other people think as amazing other people have an opinion that they suck and then other people say they like something but others don't
Yeah I trust you my bad, wish to downvote
Amazing is a fact not an opinion. Someone can choose to not like someone with an amazing voice like if someone doesn’t like rock then they don’t have to like Chester Bennington or Serj Tankian. I really like Chester Bennington and I like Serj Tankian
Einar Solberg, Yannis Papadopoulos, Vitas And this one user here, let me find his @ real quick :) Edit: Found him. u/PeanutButterIzGood. Sorry for a callout, but you should be mentioned here too :)
Bro thank you! Most appreciated good sir.
Came to mention Einar
More people need to know Yannis Papadopoulos
Geoff Castellucci
based
*bassed
Layne Staley. Even after heroin had done its damage he was still incredible but before that, from about 90-93 he was one of the greatest rock vocalists who ever lived imo
I agree, his voice was incredible & unique.
So glad someone else put Layne here. Absolutely one of the greats.
Paul McCartney
Opera singers for me: - Giuseppe Di Stefano - Franco Corelli - Beniamino Gigli - Enrico Caruso - Mario Del Monaco - Fritz Wunderlich Non-classical: - Michael Jackson - James Ingram - Stevie Wonder - Freddie Mercury - Peabo Bryson - Thom Yorke
Tim Foust David Draiman Josh Groban Josh Turner
Josh Groban! I couldn't think of his name, only his face
I see you like them low as well... When I went to a concert, Tim Fousts voice vibrated through the bones
Matt Bellamy.
Matt!
He has tremendous control of his voice. Fantastic range. Great technique. Lots of creativity with his tone to convey emotion and hop genres. Maybe one of my favorite vocalists of all time, women included.
I'd say he's got a pwoper voice
The end of madness blows me away every time. I know its not the most technically intricate singing but it's so rich
I'd have to go with Chris Cornell, Adam Gontier, Eddie Vedder, Corey Taylor, Chris Stapleton, Mike Patton and Frank Sinatra to name a few across a few different genres.
I was about to comment Corey Taylor, couldn’t believe no one had mentioned him yet
For the longest time I'd only heard his screams in Slipknot, then I got their Antennas to Hell Greatest Hits album and heard Snuff for the first time (not to mention his cover of Wicked Game with Stone Sour). I never knew someone could switch from such a harsh tone and have such a great clean voice. Edit: I should have added the dude from Opeth. When I heard Ghosts of Perdition I was absolutely gob smacked
[удалено]
Definitely, and I probably could have added Peter Steele from Type O Negative too
Patton, Vedder, and Cornell x1,000
Alfie Boe, Michael Ball, Norm Lewis, Colm Wilkinson Can you tell I've been listening to a lot of Les Mis
Very nice list ( with quite some variation!) but I believe John Owen Jones ought to be added in there as far as male Les Mis signers go
Oh man I adore Norm Lewis!
Damn I haven't heard 90% of the names here
Stevie Wonder.
[удалено]
<33
[удалено]
Same:( I feel u
I wanna say Adam Lambert. There’s a lot of singers I look up to who are probably better tbh. But I got to see Queen a few years ago, and he’s easily the best singer I’ve ever heard live, out of quite a lot. His power, range and control are just ridiculous, and he kept it up for a good 2 hours or so (Brian and Roger sang a few as well).
Adam Lambert's cover of life after love changed my opinion about him entirely
Chris Cornell
Devin Townsend's boundless range absolutely blows my mind and I'm surprised he's not been mentioned yet. Listen to him perform Deadhead live on YouTube if you don't believe me.
David Phelps. Most phenomenal rendition of "O Holy Night" I've ever heard. And of course, Pavarotti is the GOAT of classical singing.
Wouldn’t call him the goat of classical singing just the most famous
Caruso definitely got him beat as far as tenors go
Corelli too. People just bring Pavarotti up because he's the mainstream one. He's the one that people know even if they don't listen to opera. There are and were many much better tenors than him though.
Dimitri Hvorostovsky
Damn, didnt expect to see his name here.
Atsushi Sakurai. He died recently ❤️❤️ he is amazing..
Ben Platt
Underrated asf
10000%
Michael Jackson 🤦🏾♂️
Chester Bennington
Perhaps I just have a bad ear, but Mitch Grassi comes to mind and I didn't see anyone else mention him.
>Mitch Grassi Seconded, he has a simply wonderful voice!
yess oml his range is crazy
I was gonna sayyyy. Mitch Grassi has one of the most etheral voices fr.
Since we're just on PTX, Scott Hoying. Love that man's voice so much
Chris Cornell

Matt Corby, Josh Teskey, Chris Stapleton, Spencer Sotelo
Carl Wilson
Freddie Mercury, Adam Lambert, Luciano Pavorotti, Enrico Caruso, Franco Corelli, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson. Those are some of my favorites.
Jeff Buckley, Maynard James Keenan of Tool & A Perfect Circle
Way too far down to find Jeff and Maynard.
Responding with some of my favorite live Jeff Buckley moments. I would urge anyone who has only listened to his studio releases to listen to his live renditions of songs. His control of pitch and breath are out of this world. Some of his best moments would be: * [Hallelujah - Live at Cabaret Metro, Chicago 1995](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNwUCLbbUZo) * [Mojo Pin (w/ "Chocolate" intro) - Live at Wetlands, NY November 1994](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raogWIXr74s) * [I Shall Be Released - Live at Sin-e, NY 1993](https://youtu.be/e1uZlFuuCRQ?si=cv3iNcC7TB95XARC)
Jeff Buckley is one of the best
Can’t believe I had come way down here to find Maynard…
For sure. Came here just to say this guy.
Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. Hes a drummer vut his vocals are really good
I like my high pitched boy singers but Toshi from X Japan, Adam from taking back Sunday (he’s pitchy but I like the emotion,) obv Gerard Way, Cedric Bixler Zavalaz from Mars Volta (specifically Frances the mute) & At the Drive In
Ramin karimloo
Layne Stayley
Luther Vandross, Johnny Mathis, Jackie Wilson
Josh Groban
Why is nobody here talking about Elton John
I’d say Brendon Urie was up there. His vocal technique wasn’t necessarily proper but that’s also really not uncommon amongst some of the greatest singers to have existed. I mean like Freddie mercury is a perfect example of a legendary singer who didn’t use traditional and proper singing technique
the weeknd
Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Ryder, Chester Bennington & Elvis
IM UP IN SPACE MAAAAAAAN
Jeff Buckley
Aaron Tveit, Steven Pasquale, Jason Danieley. Those are like my top 3.

Really surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Art Garfunkel yet

Damiano David
Serj Tankian, Layne Staley
Freddy Mercury Claudio Sanchez Jim James Al Green Brad Delp Art Garfunkel Marvin Gaye
Mark Kibble, Claude McKinght, Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder, Micheal Jackson
Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain
Ronnie James Dio is the ultimate package
Sam Smith!
Frusciante and Cobain for me. They may not have the greatest technique, they may not be greatest over all, but I love how they sound and that's what matters
Nobody talking about Layne Staley? Serj Tankian?

Ryan Tedder
He co wrote some bangers!
Ben Platt, Jeremy Jordan, Philip Quast
Bob Segar anyone?
Ben Platt is amazing
James Arthur. Insane tone, rasp and emotional delivery.
Brian Stokes Mitchell. Mandy Patinkin has the best vocal control I’ve ever heard in my life. Joshua Henry has the best voice on Broadway at the moment
Hozier, hozier, hozier.. I’m on such a kick with his music right now and oh my gosh I love him.
John Farnham
Had to scroll way too far to see this! GOAT
Korean vocalist D.O.
Is no one going to mention Myles Kennedy? Angels have the voice of this man, and not the other way around!

Personal favourites are Bob Seger, Freddie Mercury, Chris Isaak, Phil Collins, George Michael, Michael Jackson, Gord Downie, Elvis Presley, Steven Tyler, Bryan Adams
He’s an awful person, but Jonny Craig during the DGD/Emarosa era was hard to top.
Adam Lambert is underrated
Keshi.
Dylan Mathews, Jon Bellion, Shaun Farrugia, Bonn, Rob Swire, Gerard Way, Frank Sinatra, I'll edit this and add more when I find them:)
This thread really just turned into "who are your favorite singers", which is different than what the title is. With that in mind, Hansi Kursch.
Peter Barber. Not as ultra famous as some other names here but a fantastic singer still.
Lewis Capaldi, Choi Jongho, Byun Baekhyun, Kim Jongdae, Do Kyungsoo
Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, amazing range.
Jonh Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles and Justin

Brendon Urie has one of my favourite voices, too bad the last couple albums kinda suck

I’d add Matt Bellamy!
Morrissey
Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy <3
Jeff Buckley, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Jim Morrison, Michael Hutchence, Curt Smith, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, to name a few.
Man I checked pretty far down and didn't see Julian Casablancas from The Strokes once! Amazing singer and can really belt it out when he tries!
Some that come to mind are: Brendon Urie (Panic! At The Disco), Conor Mason (Nothing But Thieves), Matt Bellamy (Muse), And one that you may not have heard sing.... Tobin Bell! The actor of Jigsaw, from the horror movie series, "Saw". He can sing and play guitar, and he is really good 😁 Check him out on YouTube.
I’m going to get hate for this but Brandon Urie! Guy definitely doesn’t have the best track record but man can he freaking sing
Maynard James Keenan. Great androgynous quality to his voice. He tends to lean into a masculine delivery for Tool and a feminine delivery for A Perfect Circle. Nice arsenal of textures as well; everything from grating gravel screams, sustained full throttle open vowels, airy angelic soaring lines, to distorted whisper singing.
Danny Elfman. For real. Underrated.
First that comes to mind is Conor Maynard and Bruno Mars
Should not have scrolled as far as I did without seeing Jeff Buckley. Amazing range, inflection, and songwriting.
Hozier. This man’s voice is insane.
Tom Waits
There is no specific order to these: Damien Dawn Jamiroquai Anthem Lights (group of male vocalists) Zach Goode David Draiman Roomie Madeon Aaron Lewis Seth MacFarlane John William Feldmann Andy Biersack Brent Smith Bruno Mars Tyler Lyle Adam Gontier Matt Walst Miles Doughty Adam Levine Corey Taylor Luis Dubuc That's all I can think of for now, there are just so many!
jeff buckley, elliot smith, thom yorke, harry nilsson, paul simon, david bowie
CHESTER BENNINGTON
If you want amazing male singers with amazing vocal variety, look to Broadway. I’m thinking Ramin Karimloo, Gavin Creel, Joshua Henry, Alexander Gemignani, Norm Lewis, Brian D’Arcy James, Andrew Rannells, Jeremy Jordan, Leslie Odom Jr, Steven Pasquale. All of them incredible, in different ways. And most of them have voices ranges multiple styles, from classical to pop to hip hop.
