There was a thread on this not long ago, but for some reason it's in the Lounge area, ten or so threads from the top.

Yes that's were I listed mine: Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Jussi Björling and Enrico Caruso.

I guess it is in the Lounge because at one time this forum was called Albums (not Music).

Well instead of vague and abrupt comments how about you tell me some singers you like? That'd be nice. Or you could tell me how I offended your musical sensibilities. Either would be fine. 😄

My favourite singers are Kurt Cobain and Peter Gabiel. The thing that makes Kurt so special is that no one else can sing what he sings. He yells, he suddenly stops, but he still sings. Peter Gabriel has just an outstanding voice, and shares some characteristics with Kurt: both voices sound like weary.

Other singers I like are Lou Reed and David Gilmour. Lou can talk and still be singing (Heroin, Walk on the Wild Side), and I just like how Gilmour's voice sounds, especially in Dogs and Wish You Were Here, but Im pretty sure no one else will consider him a fave.

You're right, and I don't find them very similar. Radiohead are all about the mood and Muse are all about the bombast. I just posed the question to tally some results to present to my friend in our Thom vs. Matt standoff haha. Anyways this got pretty specific, perhaps someone should chip in their faves. Anyone?

I dont know what Muse's problem is .. they've made some good albums but theres just something that takes away from there being "Great" status like radiohead, and I personally don't compare them to radiohead at all!

Yes that song blows me away 😁 Didn't mean to sound disparaging, he's an extremely impressive vocalist.

I dont know if its that simple .. Thom Yorke just has a voice that gets you feeling about the song .. and you dont realise how good it is it just works really well (incredible actually)

But matt bellamy you listen and you pay alot of attention to his range and how well he can change it up so quickly .. but the down side in this is it remidns you that you're listening to a song and not just getting sucked it .. With a couple of exceptions .. Like micro cuts .. I get absolutely absorbed into that song .. If you havent heard it listen to it now and you'll know what I mean

Ha! Well there's one for the list! My friend said Thom Yorke was a crap singer, and I said he was insane. He said he prefers Matt Bellamy, whereas I find Matt annoying at times and hard to engage with emotionally since he's so over the top.
How's about a sub-question: Thom Yorke vs. Matt Bellamy? Equal? One terrible? The other amazing? Do they sound exactly the same to you?
