Even as a man, I can say that Harry Connick Jr. got a set of pipes that I wish I had. ---

My girlfriend seems to be quite enamored of Al Green and that guy from Creed. ---

Well, I would have to say that for me, Trent Reznor is the one that does it. I think David Bowie falls on that list, too. There’s just something about their voices…🙂 ---

Mmm… Dmitri Hvorostovsky Brian Stokes Mitchell Alfred Drake Rather baritone heavy; I’ll throw in a tenor - Nicolai Gedda. Oh, and my good friend (bass-baritone,) “The Pirate King.” He makes straight men and gay women swoon. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by M.K. \* > **The poor late Jeff Buckley. Voice and range like an angel.** Finally, another Jeff Buckley fan! I must agree… when I hear his voice, I just want to scream, “Take me, I’m yours!” But, um, let’s not get carried away or anything… ---

Billy Corgan, lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins…okay, so I’m strange. The lead singer of Creed. Lead singer of Rammstein. I dunno, that low German growling voice does something to me. ---

Some of you can guess who I’m gonna say. The man with _the_ sexiest voice, in fact he is simply known as “The Voice”. **Tom Jones** mmmmmm. ::tosses undies:: ---

Someone I thought of who I think deserves a mention. Rufus Wainwright. He’s got to be the most underrated singer out there.(no pun intended) I’m especially partial to his song “Baby” which is just about the best torch song written in the last 50 years. Whenever I listen to this song, i get unbearably horny. ---

Rob Thomas, from Matchbox 20. I lose it every time I hear “Smooth.” _sigh_ Also partial to Neil Diamond and Antonio Banderas (but he’s only on the _Evita_ soundtrack ☹ ). ---
