Slam away dude...lol. My mistake on the English dudes. I do understand what some are saying though. A good voice is a good voice, but sometimes that good voice on crappy music isn't so becoming. Sometimes a so-so voice on great music can be very appealing. Styx...Boston....Chicago...Meatloaf, some examples of that.
Trying to name best vocalists though is hard without taking into consideration the whole body of music being presented.HT SYSTEM-

Me too...so we can't leave out Harry Chapin and also give an additional nod to James Taylor, Vince Gill, Billy Joel and Roy Orbison.
My list would also include Chris Isaak.

Teekay, totally agree w/ your pick of Chris Isaak. He was a protege' of Roy Orbison which some here have already listed and opened for him many times while he was still w/ us. His album Live At The Fillmore is one great album/cd. Now guys I don't know what is so tough about listing 10 like my rule says. It's my football so play by my rules. I chose 10 from one specific era of '70s classic rock. Yes indeed you could go wacky nutty w/ all the genres, eras, and impact players but that's why this is a great poll because of the volume of players out there or up there.2chl- Adcom GFA- 555-Onkyo P-3150v pre/amp- JVC-QL-A200 tt- Denon 1940 ci cdp- Adcom GFS-6 -Modded '87 SDA 2Bs - Dynamat Ext.- BH-5- X-Overs VR-3, RDO-194 tweeters, Larry's Rings, Speakon/Neutrik I/C- Cherry stain tops Advent Maestros,Ohm model E

From this
To this, to what you saw on that Ellen show video linked above Ol Diamond Dave now looks like that guy you see on the park bench that you don't want your kids to go anywhere near him. OL Diamond Dave has never been a singer live he had good back up vocals from Michael Anthony, ol Dave he was quite the showman back in the day. Van Halen Rocked during the Roth era and yeah I bought the new live VH that came out the other day.
Oh my vote for best U.S. Male vocalist is

I respectfully submit my "U.S. Best Male Vocalists Top 10". Also, I promise to attend all classes in the future, not distract my peers during (cough) lectures, and follow assignment instructions explicitly.
U.S. Best Male Vocalists Top 10
Al Green
Art Garfunkel
Donald Fagen
Gregg Allman
Howlin' Wolf
Jackson Browne
James Taylor
Neil Young
Paul Janeway
Phillip Bailey
What I Learned from this Assignment
I learned some guy named Jeff Buckley could really sing. I learned that "The Andy Griffith Show" is sorely under-appreciated in this world. I learned that some of my fellow students take this stuff very seriously. I learned that four glasses of wine are a gracious plenty.
