Can't choose one. Right now this fella as he's singing as I type...he's quite good!

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I used to like that Connor Deasy of The Thrills, Jim Morrison also earns his keep especially on tracks like The Crystal Ship, however I have to vote for Russell Mael who is indeed my all time favourite 'Mael' lead singer (see what I did there?)

Posted the wrong clip...not that the older Al is at all shabby

Really surprised the OP left Hugh off his list. Mine in no particular order:

Ian Curtis
Jake Burns (try copying him and not coughing!)
Ian Broudie
Malcolm Owen
Joe Strummer
Brian Connolly
Julian Cope
John Lydon

 

[armchairclubber]

agree with a few on here, difficult to be specific with a certain genre of music, think D.Hathaway has the greatest voice I've heard but then how do you compare with the uniqueness of Curtis, M.E.S, Lydon etc ?

Donny Hathaway
Fela Kuti
Ian Curtis
Arthur Russell
Gil Scott Heron
Mark Burgess
Leroy Burgess
Ebo Taylor
Terry Callier
Mark E Smith
John Lydon
Sampha
Bernard Sumner

 

[BN9 BHA]

Really surprised the OP left Hugh off his list. Mine in no particular order:

Ian Curtis
Jake Burns (try copying him and not coughing!)
Ian Broudie
Malcolm Owen

Julian Cope
