The most influential male vocalist of this era is ?
In the 90s it was Eddie Vedder. In this decade it's whoever first sang in the death metal frogger voice. Every song in that genre has a singer who sings that exact same way. No way you can tell him apart so I call him Frogman. This style seems weak to me but whoever the originator is should feel flattered.

Whoops. !..sorry Holo....i just couldn't resist it....
getting back to the subject matter...there are many in my opinion but i was trying hard to rack my brain and think of one in particular but i can't...may have to come back to this thread when my memory banks kick back in...i think there are the obvious ones who transcend more than one decade...anyway, i must get some shut eye !...
All the best to you and btw...i really hope Obama gets the nomination..not on here obviousl{haven't heard any of his tunes on here,but it's early days}...but i think you get my drift...i'm outta here........

I'd have to say the most influential for me is Justin Timberlake. Because every time I hear him on the radio or hear him being blasted by my daughter and wife, I remember he is the poster child for corporate radio and their strangle hold on music today.
Didn't mean to get political (lol)....but it's true

Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, the Beatles, Bob Dylan...it all derives from them...doesn't it? These wonderful vocalists are certainly my biggest personal influences...

I'm going with either:
Billy Joe Armstrong
or
Bright Eyes
One of those emo-types.

My personal favorites and the most influential to me personally are Lou Gramm, Paul Rodgers, Paul Carrack and Bobby "blue" Bland.

Of this era? that's a toughie! one guy, not mentioned here, that stands out to me is Burton Cummings from Guess Who. Love that voice.
II know this might sound lame to some of you but my granddaughter turned me on to Drake Bell!! He does have some great vocals on some of his songs. And he loves The Beatles!

"In the 90s it was Eddie Vedder"
I know what you mean with all the frikkin' awful copyists he's spurned-but i reckon Jeff Buckley was maybe an even bigger influence...

Hmmm.... well, I was going to say me but there's a couple of problems with that.....
The first relatively minor one is that I'm female and the second rather major one is that I can't sing to save myself!!!! So, that rules me out!!!
The most influential of this era...........now that is tough! How about Hugh Hamilton!! I don't listen to commercial crap much these days so it would have to be an indie choice for me ;-)

Rob Thomas has a great voice that is easily recognizable. Like all the "froggers", the rest seem to blend into one.

well well, being a fan of both The Cure and Simple Minds, I could not resist putting the names of Robert Smith and Jim Kerr, respectively 8-) But then, is that objective enough ;-)
For the Synthpop genre, I would mention Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode)
rock'n roll, folks!
Magnetfisch
PS: Sting and Morrissey have quite distinctive voices, too
PPS: oops, almost forgot women (despite our female singer): Siouxie Sioux (Siouxie & the banshees), sharleen spiteri (texas), liz frazer (cocteau twins) or Alison Shaw (cranes)

Great selections, including Hugh! Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) & Justin are top notch in songwritting, vocal quality & performance!
I also have to mention Kurt Cobain since Nirvana songs get played as if they are brand new even today and they are oue new Elvis songs.
Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 is very successful as well but maybe more as a songwritter. I also have to mention REM (Michael Stipe), The Cars (everyone now impersonates this sound vocally), Depeche Mode..
Michael Jackson in the 80s influenced a whole new generation including Justin Timberlake, Chris Nrown, Kanye West, mariah Carey and many more...
So I may have to vote for Michael...

Me's sorry folks, but it has to be Mr Mike Patton for me..........even though me's heard nothing back from a copy of 'I WANNA TOUCH YOU', which me's personally handed to him!!! But umm......I did forget to write me contact details on it!!!
Tomahawk, Fantomas, Mr Bungle, Peeping Tom and Faith No More....all fronted by the man himself!!

Anyone dig Colin Blunstone of the Zombies -- oh! this era not that era.
Seriously, if you can, check out "Old and Grey' on Alan Parsons "Eye in the Sky" album.
Blunstone gets my Ultimate Emotive Vocal award for that one (1981).

Blunstone is one of the most-overlooked vocalists of the entire rock era; a truly great vocalist. Do you have any of his solo stuff? A lot of it is really, really good.

....Doesn't the original poster mean THIS era and not the 90s? Haven't some of you guys realised it's now 2008.
So who would you choose who has become known SINCE the year 2000? - Narrows it down a tad doesn't it. Since 1998 if you want this decade.
I reckon it's probably one of the Black singers, but Nickelback's Chad Kroeger is a strong contender, IMO.
