    I forgot Joe Strummer(he had a really cool voice on everything he did including and after London Calling) and Bruce Springsteen...maybe not the two most techincally skilled singers but theyre great and very recognizable

    I also love Scott Weiland after he stopped doing his "imitation voice"...Certain stuff on Purple showed this, but mainly its everything hes done Tiny Music... and after.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.
