So, doing this on PA, the results i'll be pretty obvious, but I want you to really think about which you prefer as a whole?

I chose to look at the poll like a who has the best singing voice type of deal, and ultimately decided on the mob guy. Just like Jim Morrison, Frankie boy too had that wonderful way of tasting the words as he went along. A word like love can have a thousand different meanings in his mouth.
This is coming from a huuuuge Zappa fan boy, but he never could sing. Not really. Great at funny anecdotes and mumblings, but no not much of a singer.

Zappa never recorded a Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill song - Sinatra's the man.

Sinatra had a great voice and was the king of "wise-guy" cool but he also hated rock music with a passion. It would only be Sinatra if you could somehow get into his inner circle but, since he's dead, that's unlikely. I'll stick with my Frank Zappa bumper sticker.

While Sinatra was a master of phrasing, and had a cool jazz voice, Zappa was one of the premier composers of the 20th century, a fantastic guitar soloist, and an amazing artist.
No comparison.

By the way, Sinatra (as well as Elvis) was Morrison's favourite singer.
