Keith Urban

For some reason I can't stand Keith Urband and Rascal Flatts and those type of "country" people.

They are too fashionable. Highlights and moisturizer? Give me a man that can load a couple squeezes of hay and still have the energy to romp in it.

I judge. Lol.

Seriously, if I could pick one voice, I'd want Lanegan's voice. It's like the devil gargled on glass, whiskey, and battery acid.

I'd go Robert Plant, but he's English.

I'll go for the unknown and go with Matt Weddle of Obadiah Parker.

Wow. I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.

Fukkin' A Right, Mark Lanegan!
Dude can growl the paint off a wall. Nasty throwback blues, mixed genres, even some music that sounds like it comes from a badass old school western movie (pendulum, below)

"Whiskey for the Holy Ghost" is a top 5 all time album, any genre, for me. Pure badassery, start to finish. Great sound, good variety, emotionally both mixed and complex, and (obviously) the single best album name ever. Some of them (like Carnival, Pendulum, and El Sol) are easy to access and can hook you. Others (like House a Home and Night Train) can take several listens. But there isn't a toss-in song in the bunch.

The best review that I saw for that album used the line (paraphrased): "Despite the different people appearing on different songs, it sounds like it was recorded in a single sitting, and Mark started 'The River Rise' with a full bottle of whiskey, and ended after 'Night Train' with an empty one. And then he crawled inside of it."

More generally speaking, I'm biased towards basses and baritones, so my list will look very different than most others.

I have the voice of an angel. My voice is like listening to a combination of Fergie and Jesus. In fact, I've been called the songbird of my generation.
