CajunBlues Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Would it be weird if I said I think bon scott had the best voice for hard rock music ? Because that is exactly what I think.... Freddy Mercury best all around voice for rock and roll in general... Pat Benetar (early) for the best famale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenKen Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yeah' date=' awesome voice.....I have "Shadows of Grief" playing right now. LOL![/quote'] I saw Heep about 10 times in the 70's. I've said it here before, my first Les Paul was Black Beauty inspired by Mick Box (you look a bit like a young Mickster in your avatar). The lineup of Byron, Box, Hensley, Thain and Kerslake was unreal. The rock and roll medley they did to close their shows was some of the best pure rock you could ask for. Played a few Heep tunes myself with the boys back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count myself lucky that I was 10 and 11 years behind my brother/sister (born 1969) so I grew up with all the great music they listened to and went to see. This line-up of Heep, Alice Cooper "Love It To Death" tour and the Sabbath/BOC Black and Blue tour are shows I would have given anything to attend! LOL! Yeah, Tony Iommi is my main influence but Mick Box as well as Glen Buxton helped mold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 This is one of those tough questions. Paul Rodgers gets the Powerful Voice nod Cab Calloway never needed a Microphone I think I lie Seals Voice the most, but not his music. Amy Lee is Fantastic Tough question.

SGSpecialguy Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I was gonna say: Dead: David Byron Alive: Sammy Haggar Thanks Cabba for mentioning the late' date=' great David Byron I wasnt even aware that David Byron had died and SO many years ago too[crying] I was a Big Heep fan back in the day too, seen them many times with the original line up back in the 70's ,, always loved his voice and wondered why Heep hadnt reunited,, now I know, while I like Mick Box I always thought he was pretty simplistic, he had some really cool riffs but wasnt fancied as one of the best lead players around at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
