Since we have a best female vocal music thread, I think it would be good to have one for males just for those clueless people like me

A few years ago I was an opera fan, lately I am into pop and I realize that singers like Andrea Bocelli who doesn't have a large voice for opera can be great pop singers due to the wide range of voice. (i.e. not many male pop singers can hit a high C, or as effortless as Bocelli does)

So list your favorite male vocal musics, and maybe include some used for measurement standards (if any)?

I would vote for Josh Grogan if you want to hear a good male vocalist.

I third James Taylor. He can sing and play, what more could you want?

#1. Frank Sinatra - nice one chadbang

#2. Layne Staley

#3. David Gahan / Martin Gore - sorry for cheating.

#4. Mike Patton

Edit: inserted Layne @ 2 (RIP).
