What backwater racist trash hole do you come from, OP?

You could've at least thrown in Marvin Gaye or Eminem.

Don't forget whatever Lady Gaga is.

No Marky Mark either. No sexy in this list at all, and we all know someone hates sexy time.

Technically I think Elvis had the best voice, certainly most distinguishable, recognizable, and he sang many different styles. He won Grammys for Gospel, and he was the king of Rock. Roy Orbison is another favorite voice of mine. He just stands out.

And shoot me for this but Tom Petty is up there for me. He's not near the best technical singing voice, but I like his style.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Dylan come before Waits?

Well come on just about every 14 year old kid had Tom Petty's greatest hits. Everybody listened to Mary Jane and Free Fallin and Refugee. The video to Mary Jane and Don't Come Around here No More are classics.
