    Absolutely stunned no-one has even mentioned him yet, but in my opinion no-one comes close to the greatest of all time:

    Best voice....or greatest vocal range etc?Obviously pretty much all opera singers have the most purest of voices and greatest ranges....but for iconic voices i would go for
    John Lennon/Paul McCartney
    David Bowie
    Barbra Streisand
    Robert Plant
    Johnny Rotten

    Magnificent singer, and my favourite band ever. Seen them loads of times and was lucky enough to see them in Brooklyn last year. Just fantastic.

    Mike Patton has probably the most diverse voice in music. Not only that but has had his voice used as a special effect in I Am Legend, the Will Smith movie.

    He's done absolutely tons of stuff. Goes from songs like Easy to COme to Daddy with Dillinger escape plan.
    He done a song with a band I seen that supported Skindred, Dub Trio, the song is called Not Alone. Class. The guy is up there with one of the best pretty much because he can do anything. ( watering at the mouth talking about this.lol. No even a fan of Faith No More even)
