Who do you wish you could sing like? - Page 3 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Sho Nuff · 12-05-2003, 01:55 PM

Johnny Cash

doodah · 12-09-2003, 09:39 PM

tim armstrong... great singer of rancid

BulletBob · 12-10-2003, 08:22 PM

Chris Cornell

sailor · 12-11-2003, 07:30 AM

Stevie Ray Vaughan or Dave Matthews. I like that rough sounding voice.

kajagoogoo · 12-11-2003, 07:30 PM

Definitely Freddie Mercury

CS733t · 12-11-2003, 07:53 PM

Maynard or Emerson Hart

Supple Cow · 12-11-2003, 09:25 PM

Sarah Vaughan!

Ella Fitzgerald is a close, close second because I'd love to have infallible intonation, but Sarah Vaughan's range is amazing AND she scats like a horn player blows. Gotta love that edge. Add Billie Holiday's rasp and you'd have a voice made in heaven.

ubertuber · 12-11-2003, 09:30 PM

louis armstrong - you can hear the grin on his face...

31Friction · 12-11-2003, 11:53 PM

I've always wished I could sing like Brad Nowell (Sublime)

Jadey · 12-11-2003, 11:54 PM

Ed Kowalcyk from Live. When I've seen them live he sounded just like on the CD. Also, Maynard would have to be a consideration. Justin Timberlake also has a really good voice.

Wulf_Hunter · 12-12-2003, 11:05 AM

Hmm hard choice.......Since someof the one's I'd pick already have been spoken for I'll go with Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon

chingador · 12-13-2003, 08:56 PM

Tom Waits. He has the coolest, most gravely voice I've ever heard.

Crack · 12-13-2003, 09:06 PM

John Popper from Blues Traveler

His voice is so amazingly cool.

And call me crazy, but I'd like to be able to sing like Davey Havok, lead singer of AFI. To sing so pretty sometimes, and just scream your lungs off at other times.

John Henry · 12-14-2003, 02:22 AM

Woodie Guthrie. You don't realise how difficult it is until you try.

little-woman · 12-15-2003, 03:46 AM

I'd like to sound like Norah Jones. Her voice is so sexy and mature but it sounds so natural.

perripken · 12-15-2003, 06:33 AM

Well it definately ain't Axl Rose.... he sucks!
Dennis DeYoung- Styx

nash · 12-16-2003, 10:09 AM

Either Brian McKnight or Freddie Mercury depending on what type of songs I feel like singing.

SAM821 · 12-16-2003, 07:23 PM

I think i would like Chris Martin (Coldplay) ... i dont know... when im by myself I try to sing along to the music... i think he's a little better though...

Hey it worked for him... he got gwyneth paltrow

SiNai · 12-16-2003, 08:41 PM

Daniel Johns from Silverchair. The new stuff, he has excellent range and, uhm, he has a really emotional tone to it.

forseti-6 · 12-16-2003, 08:44 PM

Either Art Garfunkel or Frankie Valli. Both amazing talents.

World's King · 12-17-2003, 02:29 AM

Chino from the Deftones

Tophat665 · 12-17-2003, 04:02 AM

Hmm. Freddy Mercury, Robert Plant, or Chris Cornell for pure range and technique. Louis Armstrong or Tom Waits for personal preference (and I am damn close on the latter.)

eotlemac · 12-17-2003, 04:57 AM

humpty hump

perripken · 12-18-2003, 10:27 AM

Paul Rodgers of Bad Company
Sammy Hagar
Oh man.... How could I have almost forgotten Don Henley!?

good choice... that would be another one i would choose

MikeyChalupa · 12-23-2003, 01:59 AM

Roger Waters. Perhaps he doesn't have the classic vocal talent that others in his own band and throughout the rock world have, but the raw emotion and tones he brings are unique. He's an aquired taste for many, but I think we can all agree that ONLY he can sing his music the way it has to be sung. When the post-Waters Floyd tries it, it doesn't sound right at all.

Lou Reed, as well. Who else but he and Bob Dylan can get away with basically talking rythmically?

-Mikey

monkeydriven · 12-23-2003, 02:05 PM

Woman - Tori Amos

Man - Eddie Vedder

(I'm obsessed...) And if I were a guy I'd love to be able to sing like him.

But since I'm a girl... I'll go with Amy Lee from Evanescence. She is amazing.

silent_jay · 12-24-2003, 07:22 AM

Johnny Cash or Jim Morrison that would be grand

rideough · 12-24-2003, 08:16 AM

I always thought silent_jay sounded like tiny tim!

Spinach_Indeed · 12-24-2003, 09:48 AM

I'd have to go with the crowd favorite and say Freddy Mecury, with Brian Molko from Placebo coming in second, and Billy Corgan following up in third place.

silent_jay · 12-24-2003, 11:40 PM

what's up rideough, you still got that man crush on ray manzarek don't try to hide it i see the shrine when i visit. lol

Finchie · 12-25-2003, 01:33 PM

The main singer from AFI or Coheed and Cambria. They have an amazing range.

sartan · 12-25-2003, 05:26 PM

I agree with chris cornell.

Silverbrain · 12-27-2003, 10:19 PM

Another vote for Maynard James Keenan of Tool / APC

Lasereth · 12-29-2003, 09:53 AM

Definitely without a doubt:

James Hetfield (Metallica)

-Lasereth

lions20 · 12-31-2003, 10:38 AM

Chad Gray from Mudvayne

lions20 · 12-31-2003, 10:39 AM

Sully Erna - Godsmack

MovieNut · 02-14-2004, 10:22 PM

Right on Jadey, I'd give anything to be able to hang in there like Ed Kowalcyk of LIVE. Dude's the real deal. I think he writes a lot of his stuff, too. At least he used to.. Haven't checked the jackets on Birds of Prey and the one before that. I'm still deep into their earlier stuff. Awesome in concert. He must be able to hit several octaves.
