Honestly 10 is not enough for me, so this is right off the top of my head.
Bruce Dickenson
Rob Halford
Frank Sinatra
Paul Stanley
Sting (Police era)
Johnny Mathis
Joey Ramone
Glenn Danzig
Bing Crosby
There are plenty of others I couldve added--
Geoff Tate, Eric Adams, Matt Barlow, Ripper Owens, Dave Insugrent, Cal from Discharge, Tom Warrior, Billy Milano.Lemmy...
I'm still naming "singers"...if I got into "vocalists" with all the death and black stuff--thats another 20 guys.
We NEED an extended list.
Not necessarily my top ten favorite recording artists -- but my favorite voices.
Hank Williams Sr.
Ray Charles
Van Morrison
Mari Wilson
Dusty Springfield
Roy Orbison
Bobby Darin
Johnny Cash
Julie London
Patsy Cline
I also want to mention two new contenders -- Imelda May and Janelle Monae -- both amazing.
And a new favorite -- but a voice from the past -- Betty Lou DeMorrow of Hartman's Heartbreakers --raunchy Western Swing band -- only recorded a handful of tunes -- but man, is she somethin'!
This list could be MUCH longer....

Glad to see mention of Brian Wilson and Julie London.
Unless I missed it, I'm surprised to see no mention of Ms. Ella Fitzgerald.

Sorry,I disagree. I think Dylan is over rated and would get the axe on American Idol. Not that I watch it hardly ever. Just saying.
My favorite singers that make me swoon are as follows- Mike Ness, Freddy Mercury, Paul Anka, Joey Ramone, Tim Armstrong, Roy Orbison, Nick13, Julie Andrews

I will so agree with you on that!!!! Dylan is F**#*#G
OVERRATED >:D
Never say never. I dissed Dylan for years. He's not a "favorite", but I enjoy him now.
I do a mean Dylan impersonation. Of course, I'm aided immensely by my remarkable lack of singing talent.

If she was live and in concert in my backyard, I wouldn't even raise the shade. Can't STAND her.
Don't let WL fool you...the metal thing is a smoke screen...I heard he loves Babs!
Actually, I never got her--but apparently people go nuts for that woman. I don't know whats worse, her music or her God awful movies...now that I think about it...the nickname "Babs" is actually pretty annoying.

Freddie Mercury
David Bowie
Dio
Bruce Dickinson
Rob Halford

Funny what her initials are. >:D

Oh well, that's more than 10.
Bryan Harvey was a great guy and a great talent. I co -hosted three tributes shows to him with the legendary Fontaine on WDCE. Great songs.
Imdb has the short documentary on Bryan Harvey and the House of Freaks here:

At one point in time, I ran across the Sun Goes Down video on Youtube but haven't been able to locate it since.
HOF really resonated with me but it's so hard to listen to them now because of the tragedy. Regardless, hey, thelatewinslowleach, glad to know there's a HOF fan here. Do you know if there are any live HOF recordings out there?
1. GORDON LIGHTFOOT
2. GERRY RAFFERTY
3, JOHN KAY (lead singer/Steppenwolf)
4. BURTON CUMMINGS (lead singer/The Guess Who)
5. DAVE ALVIN (lead singer/The Blasters)
6. ROD STEWART - Before you take away my "cool" card, I must verify that I'm talking about the early 70's version. He was in a band called The Faces & he did some cool, raw rock & blues back then.
7. MCCARTNEY & LENNON
8. DOUG GRAY (lead singer/The Marshall Tucker Band)
9. RONNIE VAN ZANT (lead singer/Lynyrd Skynyrd)
10 LEON RUSSELL - A very acquired taste.
Plus, I dig the voices of Nat King Cole, Hank Williams, David Allan Coe, Sheryl Crow, Roberta Flack, plus a whole slew of "guilty pleasures".
