Where's the love for Glenn Hughes? Please somebody tell me they've heard 'Feel'
'Addiction' 'Songs in the Key of Rock' 'Music for the Devine' CD's etc...? Anyone?

He also sang in Trapeze, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. He has chops and range for days. Check him out if you want to hear a total vocal dynamo.

That's kind of hard to argue with. Solid gold pipes on that guy.

Glenn's great. A fantastic singer and a really good songwriter.

But Dio's better.

How come no one has mentioned Bryan Ferry yet? From art rock and pop to soul and jazz, Ferry does it all, and with what a voice!
