Ah, wendi, you don't like baritones? 🙁
I think they're great. So many different sounds. David Bowie and Jim Morrison have been mentioned but I believe we've also got Elvis, Johnny Cash, Marvin Gaye, John Lennon, Chris Cornell, Frank Sinatra, Bill Withers and, possibly, Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain. I know nothing about voices, all the technical stuff, but I think I'm correct in listing these guys as baritones
This is an eyeopening thread but no, ..no no not Cash ....and noooooooo not Vedder at all. I do like to hear these guys American acents and for me - i cant hear it much..I hear Nom Nom Nom ..For me no.
Vedder to me sounded ...less than dreamy. I needed silky, dreamy , smooooooth yet strong (not scary) - ok .it would explain another reason why i never particularly warmed to The Seattle Sound ...and that Grunge was never for me. right anyway ..
However i do respect Chris Cornell art , Moreso Solo ! Some Early Sound Garden .. But solo , I love his Lennon Cover , Watching the Wheels.!!! and i don;t mind Alice in chains art, Layne does yell shout though but , hey ho - I hear the accent! and i suppose some of Early Nirvana, think Bleach and when they had Channing in the band. *grumbles*
... I liked David Lee Roth vocals not sure where he fits in . ah , Metallica Noooooooooooooo .I liked Nin though ....
Um .. but With regards to who else was out there , at that time - Basically , - i preferred Axl to Kurt art - Guns n Roses , you see,

Ive been googling because it really is interesting to explore.
!! and people - i realise this thread is to discuss Michael Vocal Talents which singing voice (and accent !) i perpetually adore but weve got from google
Elvis Presley was
a baritone whose voice had an extraordinary compass — the so-called register — and a very wide range of vocal colour. It covered two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat.
Layne Staley(Alice in Chains) Country:United States Range:4 octaves Vocal Type
ramatic
Tenor/High Baritone Layne Staley was the mythic vocalist of Alice in Chains. Owner of a strong Tenor/Baritone voice,he and his band was on of the most metal at all grunge bands.
Chris Cornell- Although
Chris is technically a baritone because of his lower range and warmth of tone, he has an outstanding high mix that is well-produced and manages to maintain that warmth.
Kurt Cobain -This video is the only technical one about Kurt Cobain voice,registering E2-F#6,what can consider him as
High baritone because how deep was his lows,and Low Tenor because he reached the 6th octave on a raspy voice-and it´s too though to do.
Vocalist Andrew Wood's dreamy lyrics are sung in a
tenor heavily reminiscent of Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant. (!!) to Wood - but NOooooo to Plant - Funny huh ?
Dio was more than just a travelling vocal troubleshooter to heavy rock fans. For a start,
he had one of the definitive hard rock voices, a rich baritone that could rise through the octaves.
Axl - He is a
natural Bass-baritone which you can observe in his songs sung in low notes. Even if he is a natural baritone, he can still give people surprising high notes memorably! In fact, he is more known in his high notes rather than the lows!
And For Michael it says a bunch of ...... He easily sings in the E4-G4 range, which a baritone wouldn't. Big belts for him are up in the 5th octave, which is most certainly not where a baritones belts sit. He has a lot of throatiness up high, yet still such ease. - I agree with the throatiness.
Vocal type: Light-Lyric
Tenor Michael had a bright, youthful and warm voice, known for his child-like timbre. -I agree with warm n bright,It wasnt all like that though we had some rasp! . haha .
and this .......
But Michael's voicerange
was located somewhere between Baritone and high Tenor. So he was quiet flexible how to use it. - Agree.
My conclusion i am attracted to Tenor ! Throatiness , Dreaminess! the accent plays a huge part , for me -and pronunciation of words - and now i will stop.
