David Bowie
Bono
Robert Plant
Chris Robinson (or the other one from the black crowes)

Robert Plant!!!

Axl Rose
Anthony Kiedis
Freddie Mercury
Elton John
Dave Grohl

Freddie Mercury and Robert PLant from the classics
Mike Patton from faith no more
Phill Anselmo from Pantera
And the best mad screamer is SEBASTIAN BACH from skid row. say what you want but nobody scream like this guy. No One. He got a great clean tone to.


ELVIS? damn it little richard could outsing him anyway. Elvis version of Tutti Frutti is pathetic.

Its a sad day when it takes all the way down here for somebody to mention the greatest rock vocalist in the world, Mike Patton.

His versatility is unmatched and the only person that comes close is Prince himself. From deep and soulful to high to screaming his freaking head off, he cannot be beat.

hmm...tough to define.. how about some Rock n Rollers with voices as opposed to RnR voices?

trying to stick to chronological order:

Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Otis Redding, Stevie Nicks, that dark-haired guy from the Eagles who sang 'I can't tell u why' , Freddie Mercury, Paul Stanley, Rod Stewart, Ann Wilson (? from Heart), Rick James, Steve Perry, Sebastien Bach, Michael Jackson, Darryl Hall, Terence Trent D'arby/Sananda, Michael Hutchence, Eddie Vedder, Jeffrey Gaines

The lead singer from Metallica is one I'm tempted to list just b/c its so distinctive, but I decided not to comment on artists my ears are not as familiar with, like Plant and Halford for instance. I left out the guy from Def Leppard, b/c I've read people saying he's a bit of a Plant knockoff (?), lol but I think he can sing a little.

Oh, I agree Otis qualifies as a rock n roll singer, but I don't think Al Green does. Of course, both are soul singers, but soul voices are the ones emulated by guys like Steven Tyler...so it gets back to how do u define rock. we could go on for days on that one

oh man, how could i forget Tina Turner and Bonnie Raitt? its really tough to say what's not rock, its more a feeling than a rigid boundary anyway right?

Michael Kelland Hutchence



other faves:

Jon Stevens
Jon Bon Jovi
Paul Stanley
ElvisPresley (of course!)
Prince
Lenny Kravitz
the lead singer of Loverboy (whatever his name is)
the lead singer of Foreigner (whatever his name is)
Bruce Springsteen (yes i know sometimes it sounds like he is taking a shit... but there is a timeless sound in his voice which is magical)
