One thing I 've noticed over the last couple of years is the diversity in opinions regarding what constitutes a great singer. As I may be a little "longer in the tooth" then some....I thought I would get your input.
What were some of the vocalists that shaped what you listen to today? And who do you consider to truely be a vocal God?
I grew up with some great voices, for example;Brad Delph/Boston, Steve Walsh/Kansas, Tommy Shaw&Dennis Deyoung,The Great Ronnie James himself, Tony Martin comes to mind, Joe Lynn Turner and Paul Rodgers. I think you get the point. When it comes to music, the vocals are very important to me, so a great deal of these vocal "stylings" started me down the road to what I listen to today.
Today voices like Kahn, Russell, Jorn, Alder, Anders Engberg (current fav) , and many others make my daily play lists.
So, who started you down this long road?
