>>Freddie Mecury - he had a range of four octaves - nobody else comes close<<
>Roy Orbison also had a 4 octave range.
How about Al Green? He must have about a 4 octave range.

Surely you do not mean album sales? Yep Queen has the record for highest album sales in UK history beating Sgt Pepper. DSOTM, Thriller, OASIS and many others. |
Robert Plant or Freddie Mercury come to mind first. That fella Sabastian Bach from Skid Row amazed the hell out of me. His voice has a sound that I've never been able to forget. It sounds pure but gritty, controlled yet wild and serene yet lively. Always singing with a sense of passion it seems like the words were just leaping from his mouth. And when he went into those tight jean screams, man. A voice maybe overlooked by the quality of music, the band or whatever but he sure had a rock god voice to me. One of the very very few who could make a vocal on the record have the energy and fever pitch like a live concert performance in full throttle. |
Shadorne, you are being a bit unfair , the Queen album is a greatest hits album whereas the others' are not, also why limit the sales to the UK ok, and not worldwide?, if so you would get a different picture, see below I think these are approximates as I do not think anyone knows for sure; The Beatles 1 billion, Elvis 1 billion, Thriller person 750m Rolling and a Stones 600m Abba 370m zed dep 300m Queen 300m Flink ployd 210m ac/dc 200m U2 140m The Who 100m Dire straits 120m Oasis 50m I would rather hear Andrea Bocelli doing rock using only only 3 notes than dear old Freddie singing his 4 octaves!lol The Queen track 'body language' ( on the greatest hits album), the worst song in the history of music, EVER! (IMHO). |
