Never cared much for Jacksons voice and Marley isn't really the type of voice I would use to compare to the other examples.

That is a tough one. All of them are truly fantastic.

I would have to pick Lennon...he inspired the most people by far. That would probably be down to his songwriting more than his voice itself though...but you could say that about any of these guys.

oh no no spike jones is always the best. i loved beatle bomb

Yeah all these legends are so hard to pick a best voice. These guys were amazing talents that we never see in today's music.

I just don't get why we don't have music like this anymore. I got no idea how the current generation can say Nicki Minaj is such a great singer.

Just don't get it, meh. I see nothing special about someone rapping about the size of her ass

I don't think Manaj is famous for having a great voice more than having some funny rhymes. People listen to rap a lot of the time for the goofiness of it or the beats. It doesn't typically revolve around the quality of one's voice.

They listen to it for 'fun...not for depth, art or anything like that.

hmm interesting, never been a fan of rap. Did like some old stuff with ice cube back in the 90's though.
supertrooper225 2015 年 5 月 18 日 下午 2:28 
I liked some of the older rap too since they actually told stories or spoke about something. They were more about the art back then. Rap today is far more shallow.

Well it is hard to say who has the ''best'' voice, but if I had to choose I would go for Elvis. My grandmother adored him a lot and most of his songs are pretty inspirational, I like that.

I think mainstream rap today is pretty terrible. But there are a lot of underground artists who actually rap about something, Kendrick Lamar's new album is the biggest release of the year so far and tackles big issues like race and fame, and it's also an interesting listen sound-wise, with lots of jazz, funk, and old school west coast influences.

There are good rappers out there, but like in everything the best is often not the most popular.
Of those I'd say Bob Marley has the best voice, MJ had the best songs and career overall but he had an entire hit-making machine behind him. Lennon was the most creative, for better or worse. Elvis came along at the right time in the right place and there were people doing the same sort of thing at the same time who didn't have the same level of mainstream appeal (i.e they weren't white).

^ thanks I will check out Kendrick's album first time I heard of his name.

And yeah I just have to say Bob Marley has a voice like anyother. Everytime I hear his voice its always so incredible don't think there was another voice like his after his death.

Best voice is a matter of opinion and taste. Personally, I think john Lennon has the best voice of the 3.

Best vibe would go to Bob Marley (depends If you like reggae.) Redemption song is amazing.

Best influence on American Culture - Elvis Presley

Best overall performer - Michael Jackson (2nd is Elvis)

All had significant impacts and were the best at their craft.

BUT, without an influence such as Elvis, who knows what would of happened.

MJs performances were truly special. even now so many pop stars try and fail to be what he was. And to be fair to Elvis music today would not be what it is without him. I just never really thought of him as highly as some of the other greats.

Bob Marley is the sole reason anyone who isn't Jamaican takes reggae seriously.

The beatles were great, but they were so much better as a group than as solo artists. I think people rate Lennon too highly like he was the only one who did anything, McCartney and Harrison were also great musicians who, imo, deserve more of the praise that goes Lennon's way. Lennon solo was good, but no way near as good as the Beatles.

I wonder if anyone considers Tupac to be on the same level as other dead artists. Or Amy Winehouse, or Kurt Cobain, or Jimi Hendrix.

I'm fascinated with the 27 club since you mentioned Winehouse, Cobain, Hendrix, all of which are included in my avatar, lol.

I am a big Tupac and Cobain fan. I think Tupac whether you liked him or not, His personality and outspokenness was untouched during his time. His outspokenness eventually was his undoing, but it made people listen. Artist who die in a tragic way in their prime will always get a higher recognition and fame because of it. I would put Tupac and kurt on the same level as heavy influential figures of the 90's itself, but to compare them to Lennon, Elvis, and whatnot is a bit of a stretch. it just doesn't sound right.

I don't know...Nirvana affected culture in a way that had not been seen since The Beatles. Nirvana effectively killed glam rock....overnight. They were massively influential and a turning point for the direction of music. That alone makes them one of the all time greats.

I agree with you but I still have mixed feelings about it. I mean if you are saying "what are the all time greatest bands that changed our culture?", I agree that the Beatles and Nirvana were the turning points. But the individuals themselves, would you alone put Kurt Cobain up there with the likes of Elvis etc? I think Nirvana as a whole group effort changed things, not JUST Kurt. Here we are talking about the individuals, not the bands/groups they were in. You can also argue "Without Kurt Cobain there is no Nirvana", but it was a team effort. Where does Kurt Cobain himself rank in the charts? I'm not sure. He is up there for sure. The deaths of the artists and how they died may have a lot to do with where they are ranked (Sometimes).

I'd say MJ was more influential than Nirvana. Glam Rock was on its deathbed by the mid nineties, Nirvana was just the final nail in the coffin. Grunge is also dead today, but even now people are trying to be MJ.

I think you can talk about them as a group. I don't think Lennon would have had nearly the same level of success if he wasn't with the Beatles and a lot of the Beatle's success is attributed to Lennon as though everyone else just sat around and waited for him to write songs.

Tupac was great, he had the same issue as Marley, that his genre wasn't respected as 'real music' by a lot of people. The fact that he has such renown in spite of this shows how awesome he was. Also the fact that someone murdered him meant he was doing something right. If any of the dead artists were set to have real effects on the world, not just on their genre of music, but on political and social issues, it was Tupac.

I'd actually argue that hendrix was better than Elvis, he was a far more talented guitarist and a more creative songwriter.

Winehouse was also really good but her live performances towards the end were terrible. Like Hendrix, if she'd cleaned herself up, lived and had a long career, and been more consistent she might have been up there with the greats.
