It's that time of the month again where we have yet another interesting topic to talk about. This is my third participation in the monthly contest by yourtop3@yourtop3. I managed to secure 3rd position in the previous month, it was quite exciting and fun.

This month we have the topic of choosing the top favorite lead singers. Honestly, this is a bit difficult for me. I listen to almost any kind of music and throughout the years my favorites have always changed depending on situations and well mood.

As a child, I used to listen to the boy bands a lot like Backstreet Boys and Westlife. I even use to rock to Vengaboys a lot 😄. Later, I started listening to punk songs such as Blink 182, Green Day, Good Charlotte, many more. Then I realized the joy of listening to Queen, Nirvana, Eagles, Pink Floyd. I also started listening to rock and metal like Iron Maiden, Panthera, Slayer. I also love solo singer-songwriters like Ed Sheeran(I can't list him here).

As you can see I don't particularly have favorites and love lots of genres and artists. So I'm going to pick 3 that are quite unique to each other and the ones I can't listen to. Since it's not the "Best Singer" contest but "Favourite Singer, there is no wrong answer.

So here are my Top 3 Lead Singers

Freddie Mercury was a British singer, songwriter and lead singer of a rock band Queen. I know lots of people have and will nominate him but I can't help to do the same as well. My dad and my brother used to play songs by Queen on a cassette player all the time and I began liking them as well. I remember me and my brother always singing this song and we didn't even realize the meaning of it. Bohemian Rhapsody is another all-time popular and also one of my favorites. Freddie Mercury was a great singer and a legend whose songs even to this day is enjoyed by many.

Chester Bennington was popularly known as the lead singer of the band Linkin Park. Although he also sang for other bands throughout the years either temporarily or as side projects, his best works are from the Linkin Park.
I spent most of my teenage life listening to Linkin Park and admired the vocal of Chester. He had a unique voice that had lots of emotions and feelings. Their songs often had lyrics that talk about vulnerable and low moments of life. Chester's voice effectively exposes those emotions with his high range screams and belts. His lower range was equally impressive as well.
I was really really depressed when he passed away in 2017. I spent hours watching his tributes and even shed tears. He meant a lot to me and to lots of people all over the world.

Axl Rose is in my opinion one of the greatest rock singers of all time. He is majorly known as lead singer for the band Guns n roses. His vocal range is really impressive. He can go from a slow low voice to instantly reach the roof of his voice as he screams tirelessly without running out of breath. I had the privilege of watching him live once and I'll never forget the experience. The guy is energetic, charismatic. He is running and dancing and at the same time singing almost flawlessly. His writing are also great as his songs contain deep meanings.
Although Axl Rose's voice is not as good as it was when he was at his prime, he still puts on a great show like no one else.

Hope you enjoyed my nominations :) If you would like to join this contest then check the link below.
