Doug: Who first of all do you think has a great male voice? You can throw out any names from Frank Sinatra to Elvis Presley to George Michael, I suppose. Who are those guys that can really carry a tune, have a wonderful range, etc? And then conversely, what do we do with "singers" like Stewart, Joe Cocker, and Bruce Springsteen? Let's face it -- if we just do a case study of "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window", Paul McCartney is probably going to get the A from the vocal coach over Cocker. But... I really like both versions of that song, and I'd be inclined to say that I like Cocker's better (man, I cannot even write about Joe Cocker without seeing John Belushi in my mind!). Do you have other nominees for "scratchiest voice"?
