[doctorwho]

1. Bono (1984-1992; 2000-especially the present - I think his voice now is the best ever);
2. Freddy Mercury (sometimes overly dramatic, but fit with Queen's music);
3. Katie Pierson/Cindy Wilson (love Pierson by herself, but with Wilson, they created the best harmonies ever in a band (B-52's));
4. Boy George/George Michael (effeminate sounding as they are, they both have outstanding voices);
5. Alicia Keys (not a big fan of her music, but love her voice).

 

[Tip Top Prince]

1. Bono
2. Bjork (mesmerizing - an angel)
3. Jewel (songs bleh - voice yeah)
4. Johnny Cash
5. Whitney Houston (Star Spangled Banner anyone?)

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

carrieluvv- what i think is so amazing about Morrissey is that his voice doesn't seem to have changed at all. But I wouldn't put him as one of my top five most pleasing vocalists.

Sarah McLachlan
Freddie Mercury
Jeff Buckley
Early 70s Elton John
Bono

This is a very tentative list. It will change before I hit reply. While I find these voices most pleasing, I can honestly say I'd rather hear the following in many cases

Dave King
Shane McGowan
Tom Waits
Bob Dylan
Joe Strummer
Mick Jones (grossly underrated)
