6. Matthew Barlow
He probably has one of the most powerful voices in heavy metal and it makes me shiver. It's amazing. The best Iced Earth vocalist ever!!
Listen: Iced Earth - A Question of Heaven
5. Gabriel Macht I wouldn't mind keep looking at him and not only listening to him. I first saw him in the awful romantic comedy "Because I said so", where he plays a very charming musician and while I was watching I could only think "What is this voice?" Deep and hoarse, very very sexy.
Watch: The Spirit
4. Morgan Freeman
I don't know, I just love his voice. It's kind and warm and really nice when saying "Shoot that motherfucker" in Wanted.
Watch: The Bucket List
3. Gary Oldman
He doesn't have a deep voice, in some interviews it can be almost high pitched (not in an annoying way) but I love what he does to his voice, he can change it in different levels and he's a wonderful singer. He can speak in a way that can really touch us, like in the last scene of The Dark Knight.
Watch: Dead Fish - because he sings on this one, and it's hilarious.
2. Nick Cave
When Nick Cave sings "Happy Birthday to you" he can make it sound like the funeral march.Period.
Listen: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Far from me
1. Johnny Cash
His songs are great and he could make covers better than the original versions. His voice is captivating and can make you want to stand up and dance or lay down and cry. He deserves the first place.
Watch: Johnny Cash on the Muppets Show - Ghostriders in the Sky

Oh, you "stole" my idea! I wanted to write about my fav male voices one of these days. lol!
I like your picks. Now let me think about mine.
I think it would be (in no order, because it's impossible to decide): James Earl Jones, Gary Oldman (I bet you didn't see this coming?), Robert Downey Jr and Eddie Vedder (I bet you didn't see this one coming either). And... and... I am not sure about the fifth one!
In any case, I like when a man sounds like a man, not a girl. As much as I appreciate singers that can hit high notes, I like bass-baritone voices. The only exception here is Gary (who is tenor, I believe), but there's something incredibly captivating and soft and amazing about his voice (plus, we all know he can make it deep, which I love).
I'm sorry I "stole" your idea! lol
The order thing was really hard, really hard. I still think I was unfair. I like your picks too. "Darth Vader's" voice is unforgetable and I really thought that I should put Downey Jr. on this list.
I agree with you about Gary's voice, there's something almost misterious about his voice.
I was thinking in making this list longer, if I had done that I would put (besides Robert Downey Jr.) Elvis and Frank Sinatra. I love their voices. ;)
Well, it's really hard to pick. Some men have unforgettable voices, but are memorable for other stuff so you simply forget about the voice. Others only have a memorable voice and nothing more. Our fellow Sam Worrington, for example (really nice, deep voice, but that's all).
Other men with nice voices: Matthew Macfadyen, Richard Ashcroft and HOW COULD I FORGET about Allan Rickman?!? That's it, he's definitely on my top 5 list!
Maybe I should make a post about it anyway?
Gary- so soft, Rickman-velvet in its pure form, James Earl Jones- unforgettable diction, Robert Downey Jr-so manly, Eddie Vedder-beautifully rough and the voice of my generation.
Yes!! Alan shouldn't be out. Perharps this should be a top 10! Yeah you should write something about it too! ;)
