I don't have any credibility to lose, so jokes on you!
Greatest male singers of all time

I can live with that.
Layne Staley from Alice in Chains comes up on my short list for his voice/range.
He kills it here, all while high on heroin. Not glorifying it by an means. Just facts.
For me, any singer who can rip acoustically shows their real talent. No auto-tune or
anything else to mask or make up for any shortcomings. Same for Scott Weiland from STP/Velvet Revolver.
Heroin took both those guys way too soon.
(Heroin didn't take Chris Cornell or Kurt Cobain..but two other great ones gone way too soon.)
Aaron Lewis is another. Here's a great acoustic song by him. He's got a lot of acoustic guitar only songs like this.
Wanna put a smile on your wife's face...play this for her.
Then you have people like Mick Jagger, Elton John, Steven Tyler, etc. Guys like that with longevity who
can still go out and perform after all these years. Took my daughter to see The Rolling Stones last year
at Sofi Stadium. Those dudes are old..but they still killed it.
Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt by NIN is epic. You either like him or you don't.
We could spend all day here covering so many different great artists and their songs.
LMFAO! Takes a big drag from the lung dart before singing. Classic. I like his voice but it reminds me of someone else and I can't pin that down.
Layne Staley and Chris Cornell were definitely unique. I'd say "limited" but cool voices. "Down in a hole" is a favorite. I think Weiland was more versatile but I enjoy their music... where Cobain, to me, was like nails on a chalkboard.
Nails on a chalkboard would be Billy Corrigan from Smashing Pumpkins trying to sing live at a concert. Lol. You ever hear him on stage vs. the studio? Terrible!!
Weiland was/still is definitely one of my favorites.
Yeah, as much as I like him in interviews, that voice. I don't even like his sound in recordings.
Okay, buddy, saw this and can't pass it up. As a big Crue fan, or used to be, I'll see your Billy Corrigan and raise you a Vince Neil.
One of my Favorite songs The Rooster!
There's a bunch of those recent Crue performances on YouTube with alternative lyrics that are funny as hell!!
Poor Mick Mars looks like they pulled a body from the coroner's office and put a guitar in his hands.
Yep.
This guy is one of my favs. This song brings tears of joy to me all the time because after my son was born in 2001, my wife and I prayed every day for a little girl. Little did I know the impact she would have on my life and the socal soccer circuit. I sure hope the men who lied to her and cheated with their lies would just say, "I'm sorry, we did you and your dad wrong."
I dedicate this male singer songs to my beautiful and precious baby girl. I love you to the moon and back and I will always be here for you.

Now I have to say, Stapp and Creed died because he over sang everything, started believing his own hype and killed that band. The parodies of him are my favorite.
Cheers to your lovely daughter.
Runer up. This song brings me back to the days before me wife got pregnant with my firstborn son. The best part of marriage with my soulmate (two souls that mated) was when it was time to plan and then try and make babies. Seriously, so pure and so fun to try and bring a little one to earth. It comes with great responsibilities and tough choices when you raise child. These are the choices that come with consequences.
I love you son
I love you son
Second runner up. This was my dream when I was a young surfer and went to the beach practically everyday as a youth. That was so much fun. I never wanted to grow up and I never really did. My dream is coming true. I still have blond hair like New Wave Dave did. No grays yet. I'm sure when I turn 60 I will be gray. I feel really great but always knock on wood.
Enjoy this song
