Re: Best Instrumentalists?
Yes, vocals are an instrument. You can practice/train with them, therefore they're an instrument. Doesn't mean you can't be born with a leg up on talent, though.
Vocalists not mentioned: Geoff Tate, Chris Cornell, Rob Tyner, James Hetfield, Jeff Keith, and since I'm a bit ashamed I haven't named any women yet, let's go with Shirley Manson, Dusty Springfield, Mia Zapata, and if we're delving into other genres, then I'll add Annie Lennox and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
Aretha, Diana, and Whitney don't even need mentions.

Re: Best Instrumentalists?
Dan Kubinski for vocals, he and Cornell were shredders!

I also feel like Myles Kennedy is the well-rounded best of the former two, with a strong whiff of Jeff Buckley on the lighter stuff.
While we're on the topic, I was just listening to The Bangles, and I feel like we can add Michael "Micki" Steele to the list of bassists (she previously bolted from The Runaways when she sensed that Kim Fowley was going to be a piece of sh*t - which he was). Some of those tracks on Different Light have a strong bass element that would ruin the song without it, particularly "Walk Like an Egyptian".Last edited by FadeToBlack&Gold; 10-28-2018, 11:40 PM.

Edit: "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" (Unplugged) is a good example of that.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Originally posted by Brenthoven View PostIMO, and here we go, have at it, it's tougher to be a great wailer. There has to be that balance of screaming/wailing, and singing. Watched the "90s" series on CNN via Netflix, and someone put it perfectly: Kurt Cobain could scream in tune. That is the definition of a wailer.
Edit: "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" (Unplugged) is a good example of that.

Come to think of it, the band of the moment, Greta Van Fleet wails. In tune.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

2a : a means whereby something is achieved, performed, or furthered
Vocal chords are an instrument. Sometimes, they're a gift of nature/genetics/a god/whatever you want to think. We're done here.
