We’re never all going to agree about the definitive number one. But we can surely put a list of all the fantastic vocalists in this thread. We then get to agree or disagree when someone, especially if someone says Sam Smith

So, who do you thing has a one of the best voices around?

I’m adding Karen Carpenter.

If we're talking living, the best I've heard in a while is Miley Cyrus singing Jolene, and Arianna Grande singing just about anything.

Mike’s Cyrus is amazing. She doesn’t get the credit she deserves. Listen to her sing man of constant sorrow.

Don Henley has such an authentic singing voice, nobody else really sounds like him.

Whether its rock, Country or blues his singing always seems effortless.

Daryl Hall and Steve Perry are very much of the same class.

Karen Carpenter's voice has gone a bit quiet since she's been no longer with us so that doesn't count as one of the best around. In the same vein we cannot forget Aretha Franklin.

First name that popped into my head too, he is fantastic live, seen him a few times. With both Slash and Alter Bridhge. And I’ve already booked my Alter Bridge ticket for December in Manchester.

And if you haven’t already check out Mark Tremonti singing Sinatra
