some people will passionately disagree with this, but Janis Joplin should definitely be mentioned. She had a fantastic voice for rock'n'roll.

I don't know who has the best voice in rock but Freddie Mercury, Chris Cornell and Steven Perry are my faves.

Bowie's definitely one of forerunners in the game. Got to add him to the list.

Of course, we got to add Rod Steward. Can't go wrong with Maggie May.

There are tons of great voices in rock - absolutely tons, however I would say my pick is:

Freddie Mercury - no one has a voice like his.

The snobbish asshole answer: you people obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about and have very lil' musical knowledge because anyone who knows anything knows that Steve Marriot was the greatest rock vocalist of all time. Thank you. I enjoyed educating you all on basic music knowledge as well.

Chris Cornell [/thread]

I'm a big Bowie fan but his voice is so hit or miss for me. Sometimes he sounds great and others he sucks. I can't figure him out! :^P

Based purely on voice, not necessarily vocal skills, Rod Stewart really stands out to me.

It's a classic rock voice, as opposed to a Bowie who could sing w/Bing or Bennett no problem.

Rod Stewart had the perfect edge and character to his voice. Maybe I'm foretting someone, but that jumped right out at me.

Paul Rodgers nod

Steve Perry (not a huge Journey fan, but his voice is amazing)

Robert Plant mushy

Phil Lynott love headbang

And I'm really into a Faces phase again right now, so I guess I have to add Rod Stewart. razz

Steve Miller

Ian Gillan


These are just my favorites.
