I'd likely go with Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) |

Robert Plant... his style might be debatable but that guy had the pipes. |

Location: SoCal | Tom Jones. I know it's an odd choice, but the man's got major pipes (even at 68) and knows how to work a crowd. Go listen to him on youtube and you'll be amazed at how good he is..... |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I whinnied it down to Stipe, for all around talent: voice, interesting to watch, very unique style, range of ability ...
but others I considered were, Vedder, Joplin, Merchant, John Popper, Patti Rothberg, Paolo Nutini, Jeff Buckley and believe it or not... Brian Johnson |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Palmer sings a little known tune titled "20 Million Things" that I really like (in addition to many others in his catalogue}
Peter Wolf was also in my top ten but, I didn't catch that I left him out of the post above |
