Liam Gallagher

[version]

A national treasure. He's better than Noel, he describes everything as "biblical" and he has a new documentary out.

Best rock vocalist of all time. Looked the bollocks. Only good Mancunian I can think of.

Sounds like the plot to a Shane Meadows film.

LG is a great chat show guest. Was a great frontman in 1994.

It sounds hyperbolic calling him the best rock vocalist of all time but given rock is a genre in which no one can sing it's not really saying much at all. I mean, who is better? Stevie Nicks. Who else? Not the Beatles, not Jagger, not Daltrey, not even Phil Lynott who I like.

loathe him as we might, McCartney can definitely sing (or could, anyway). daltry and jagger not so much.

roy Orbison had a great voice, not a rock singer though.

 

[luka]

The voices are one of the main reasons I can't do the rock. It's really off putting for me.

Ozzy too pantomime, like Grotbags.

Barry Hay, Golden Earring.

I hate him, but clearly Lydon is the best male rock vocalist.

 

[luka]

Hadn't thought of him but he's definitely in with a shout.

 

[version]

He can't really sing though, can he?

 

[Leo]

I hate him, but clearly Lydon is the best male rock vocalist.

Lydon's vocals were perfect for the pistols and PIL, but he can't actually "sing".

 

[baboon2004]

Best vocalist, not best singer. Absurdly influential, Gallagher is impossible without him.

Arguable that rock isnt often about singing in the trad sense at all; at least not when it's good.

 

[version]

Rod Stewart's got a cool voice.

 

[forclosure]

Lydon is also a big Peter Hammil fan which i dunno bout you lot but i can see the links

 

[luka]

Rod Stewart is still that kind of throaty karaoke soul though, a joe cocker type.

[SUB][/SUB]Can't really endorse that kind of playacting
