Little Richard
Freddie Mercury Ronnie James Dio Rob Halford Paul Stanley Elvis Presley Chris Cornell Layne Staley notable: Axl Rose *(all of the above could at one time perform just about any style and range) **(Axl makes it with the ease at which he seems to do it) ** Solomon Burke should rank this list except he sang predominantly Rock and Blues, gospel. Had he also done a metal album, he'd prob be here; the requirement was GREATEST not favourite) ***King Diamond? ? U gotta be smoking crack. He sucks.....it said GREATEST not favorite. He's a one gimmick pony, also ridiculous, and reportedly an asshole as well. [Edited 8/10/18 7:50am] [Edited 8/10/18 8:49am] ♫"Trollin, Trolling! We could have fun just trollin'!"♫ | |

Nobody mentions Robert Plant? And this is coming from someone who isn't a Led Zep fan at all... | |

Nobody "sucks". All entertainers are good to someone. It doesn't matter if music snobs or people who think they're cool like them or not. There's no such thing as a greatest singer anyway. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

ya, like i said, lots of great talent, it's almost like picking the prettiest women, there are a million of them. there really are, how many times have we heard out of this world vocals on some commerial or advertisement? someone mentioned george michael? hell ya, he was a good one too, not rock enough maybe but great. As I said though, when we speak of rock and roll, to me that always means a voice with outrageous fervor, outrageous fun, outragous rage, like Little Richards, he will always be the best at "rock and roll" always, the heavy metal folks often tried to imitate his voice but never did anyone capture the perfection of that outragous, loud, consistent voice. Lucille was the perfect rock and roll performance who no one has topped, and he made it before you could take a million takes and polish it. He was no slouch as a songwriter and pianist either. | |

That's because the powers that be (like Jann Wenner) consider them put together for a TV show. Mike Nesmith is indirectly responsible for MTV being created, because Warner Brothers bought his show Pop Clips. Nez also made the 1st longform music video (Elephant Parts) way before Beyoncé's Lemonade and he won a Grammy for it. Nez is also one of the first to do country rock.

Yeah, you guys were known as The Prefab Four. It was all a little before my time (I was born in 1971), but it seems that from the beginning, there was a distinction between "serious" acts like Dylan and The Beatles etc and "pop" acts like The Monkees and, years later, The Spice Girls and so many others. That said, while I collect records by Dylan and Prince and such, I also find songs like I'm a Believer or Wannabe very enjoyable. [Edited 8/16/18 13:16pm] | |
