Male voices Top 10 bring out the obvious names but Mike Smith needs to be there too. To be quite frank, I'm sick of Queen and this opera rock stuff that gets air play every two minutes. Brad Delp of Boston was a force. So is Paul Rodgers of Free and Bad Company. That's the opinion of industry insiders. You also got your David Clayton Thomas. I can come up with a Top Ten male and female, in random order, that won't include the obvious names. It all begins and ends though with the late great Karen Carpenter.
