Well, to disagree, I think Van Morrison was better, although he achieved perhaps his greatest fame in the '60's. But, without saying, this is just my opinion.

If we're talking about rock vocalists, I think Freddie Mercury is near the top of the list. I'm also partial to Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. As much as I love Pink Floyd, I won't mention Roger Waters...oops, guess I did, anyway.

Art Garfunkle (Garfunkel?)
by far one of the best voices in folk/rock/pop
Rod Stewart custom made for R&B
Jon Anderson especially the early stuff (pre Fragile).

Oooff. Without naming names, there appears to be some confusion on what makes a great vocalist vs. a great performer vs. a great songwriter. C'mon, Mick Jagger? Roger Daltry?

Eh why not? Would you ever confuse them for anyone else? They are instantly recognizable.

Yeah, and my devotion to great music. I got to see them in Philly (Forrest Theater, I think) in the early eighties. Stunning show. Mother Russia is great, tho' I've always had a fondness for Scherrazade. A wonderfully woven tale.

Agreed. If all you've ever heard by her is Poetry Man then another listen is recommended. Voice like honey pouring from a silver pitcher, and covering an impressive range.

Joan Armatrading I think is more impressive than Ms. Snow.

Aretha is 60's, not 70's, and no way can Joan Armatrading pwn Phoebe Snow in a sing off. Song writing contest yes, sing off, no! :)
