In Tune with your ears? No, in tune with your mind. Individual preference.
David Bowie is one of the great vocalists of the last century along with Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart, Pat Benatar, Janis Joplin, Layne Staley, Ella, Sarah Vaughan, Bryan Ferry, Stevie Wonder and others. These people used their voices as instruments, they sang. Jimi Hendrix hardly ever sang. He spoke, as do many rock artists. My own preference is for voices that are instantly recognizable like Joe Cocker. Two words and you know who it is. You can say that for all the above artists, a rare instrument of one. A gift that will never be repeated, a priceless thing.
