R&P: Can you name a singer whose voice has aged but not deteriorated?

Scott Jefferys of Confessor is, by far, the best example I can think of, but you guys have probably never heard of him. =\

BQ: Last album I got legally was Vampire Weekend - Contra in mid-January. The last album I downloaded was a King Crimson album. I'm downloading a torrent of King Crimson's entire discography, so I can't say which album was the last to download...

BQ2: More people on this site need to know about Steely Dan. I rarely see them mentioned even though they're one of the best things the 70s ever did. Do It Again is probably the best song to start off on them with.

BQ3: I try to avoid them because it's a hassle putting the correct year on every single song on iTunes and they raise the potential for song doubles, which I hate.

BQ3: unless its an obscure band with hardly any album releases, I avoid them.

I think Bon Jovi still sounds good after all these years. He still has it.

BQ: 30 Seconds to Mars's new CD

BQ2: Sondre Lerche, Bright Eyes

BQ3: They are awesome. Especially '80s compilation albums.

Iggy Pop

Axl Roses's for sure. It was never good really, but it sounds the same.

BQ: Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force

BQ2: ...Yngwie Malmsteen?

BQ3: There ok, but it depends on the year of the genres.

mavis staples

BQ: i've got the new sharon jones on pre-order http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?story...

BQ2: blue lu barker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIM-PX-jvGk

BQ3: depends on the compilation, they are very handy for finding music recorded prior to 1960ish when music was made primarily as individual 78s and 45s rather than albums.

Geoff Tate - Queensryche(Saw them last may and his voice was spot on)

BA: Charred Walls of the Damned

BA3: Some are great, but most aren't.

David Gilmore ~ saw him three years ago (I think!) and he could still put it out there.... and of course, his guitar playing hasn't diminished in the least. He was always kind of a soft singer, and he still sounded great.
