Singers with really distinctive singing voices (just for fun)
« on: October 11, 2024, 02:35:46 PM »
Who are the vocalists, who, in your opinion, have really cool and distinctive vocals?? Way more so than most singers?

To get the ball rolling, id offer up Rod Stewart, Johnny cash and Peter Gabriel.

I’ve always been amazed that Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins share something in their texture. I’m not sure what it is but it’s really rare and I only know of 2 singers in the same category : PG and PC. And yet, they were in the same band !
