Best male singer ever?

I was just thinking about it, and the 80's metal years really produced some good singers. People like Rob Halpert, Bruce Dickinson, etc., are all ridiculously talented and don't really get too much credit where credit is due.

Discuss?

Also, ever notice that the gay singers almost always have a good voice. Wtf is with that?

Haha, "No more Steve Perry psych-outs!"

I would really call that by genre of music.

Rock

alternative

Country

etc...

Of my time, to me one of the most influential singers is Alan Jackson..

But for many others, I mean Elvis, Prince, Johnny Cash, George jones, Sting. Very opinionated question

Then again you are asking 80s rock. I'd say sting and Elvis, but thats just me

No no, not just limited to 80's rock. I was just stating that quite a few came out of that decade. Boy George had a good voice, whatever that guy's name from Toto is, the singer from a-Ha, Freddie Mercury, etc.
