This was a stupid idea because I will never be confident with at least 5 of these choices at any given time, but here we go. As of this moment, this is my list of bests:
1. Ian Curtis: I love the depth he achieved. And his voice was so haunting. But we all know by now that I love everything about the music Ian Curtis was involved with. (Video: She's Lost Control)
2a. Noel Gallagher: He can sing absolutely anything. (Video: This Guy's in Love with You Noel Gallagher).
2b. Liam Gallagher: No one sounds like him! He is unique and proudly Mancunian. (Video: Oasis - Supersonic)
3. Peter Murphy: Such incredible vocal range and always with an air of sexuality. Even when it's sarcastic. (Video: Bauhaus - Rosegarden Funeral of Sores)
4. Paul Weller: So much soul in such an unexpected package. (Video: Sunflower)
5. Damon Albarn: I love when singers are unashamed of their accents. Everything he sings sounds like Essex. (Video: Song 2 Alternate Version. Trust me, this is awesome.)
6. David Bowie: He may very well have created range in rock music. (Video: Win)
7. Paul McCartney: Another recognisable voice with credit to all that we know as hard rock in "Helter Skelter." (Video: Wings - Wildlife live the Hague)
8. Robert Smith: He has such a sweet voice. When put to the depth of some of his lyrics, it's surreal. And his voice is just as good live as it is recorded. Something to be admired. (Video: The Cure - Pictures of You)
9. Stephan Jenkins: I don't know how to describe his voice without using the word "San Francisco." It's sexy and '90s. (Video: Third Eye Blind - I Want You)
10. Jim Morrison: The original baritone. Without any punk or any metal, Jim Morrison had the most powerful voice in rock music. (Video: The Doors - The Crystal Ship)
Honourable Mentions: Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Jakob Dylan, Thom York, Richard Ashcroft, Joe Strummer, John Lennon, Ian McCollough, Robert Plant, Dean Martin, Tony Perkins, M. Shadows, Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor... and so many more that I'll probably be editing this list for the rest of my life.
