    Names that spring to mind when I think "great voices" are...

    David Coverdale (pre 1984 vintage!)
    Danny Bowes (Thunder)
    Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
    Paul Rodgers
    Danny Vaughn

    Granted though the likes of Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Roger Hodgson, Freddie Mercury and many more all have or can have the ability to create that "wow, what a voice" comment!
