holy shit you went ALL OUT hahahah... this is what i enjoy in places like this. i mean you clearly put a lot of time and effort into that, and its the type of post that actually motivates people to listen to new music, and i dunno, i find it really encouraging.
most of the artists i listen to.. i love their vocals, but i wouldn't call them the best singers. i mean, bob dylan? like, i don't know what list he fits on lol.. im more concerned with the emotion they invoke. with bjork... i remember listening to her when she did oceana at the olympics (i was like 12 i think) and i knew there was something about her. i watched it, and... kind of hated it, lol, but at the same time she captivated me, and im so glad. and still when i compare her to my other favorite singers, she is near the top of the list for things like... i dont know, actual skill or control... and since she can tear me apart emotionally, i dunno, its a good combo hahaha i give her lots of props. she OWNS her voice, and shes so fucking unique, god damn i love her.
so far this list has been about women, but.. i really want to bring in a different aspect of the subject "voices". so some boys. also because... pretty much all my favorite singers have already been mentioned haha i mostly only listen to female singers. rar! should have checked this thread sooner ;)
captain beefheart - fucker had a 5 octave range in his voice haha... on top of that he just straight up rules. i tried to sing like him once anddddddd i think i broke something in my throat. he's old now. im sad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN9E8Eawhu0john frusciante - i bought the album "Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T Shirt" when i was in grade 10, on a total fucking whim. i was on a school trip and just saw it and got it, because i liked "blood sugar" by the RHCP. i had no idea what this album would do to me. his singing was the most... honest i had ever heard in my life. its so beautiful. lyrics at about a minute in, listen till at least the 2 minute mark.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wICsfTDDPYAif this isn't your thing, you can check him out when he's NOT on drugs... look up him doing "how deep is your love", its beautiful. actually, i looked it up for you, here. pretty good since he had his mouth replaced hahaha. the second half, FUCK, how is that humanly possible lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLpBM6eWcYwlol okay thats it.... i'm really picky about vocals, but im starting to realize that it doesn't make them good, cause i don't know exactly what i'm picky FOR. i think alot of singers are amazing, and i don't know why exactly. thanx for all the new tunes though, this is siqq, im going through them again tonight, see what sticks the second time around. XOXOXOXO
