OT: Who are the best rock vocalists?
Here is my incomplete list. As I'm a child of the 80's and 90's it is weighted that way. I'm sure there are more that you guys will advocate for.
Chris Cornell (Soundgarden. Audioslave, Solo)
Thom Yorke (Radiohead)
Brad Delp (Boston)
Steve Perry (Journey)
EDiT: Sorry hit enter before done, more complete list continues
Robert Plant (Led Zepplin)
Van Morrison
Freddie Mercury (Queen)
Bono (U2)
Have at it. Who else belongs here?
Springsteen, Orbison, soft spot in my heart for Brian Setzer.
From Steely Dan
Did everyone stop by the drinking thread before showing up here? Sheesh.
And since no one else added him - Gary Brooker.
10. Chris Cornell
9. Jim Morrison
8. Axl Rose
7. Bon Scott
6. Kurt Cobain
5. Robert Plant
4. Ronnie James Dio
3. Steve Perry
2. Brad Delp
1. Freddie Mercury
METALLICA!!!!!
Any love for Neil Young?
Add him to my shirt list above.
Save button got me
Jack Black and Kyle Gass of the greatest and best band in the world.
In no particular order:
Kurt Cobain
Paul McCartney
Bon Scott
Bob Seger
Freddie Mercury
Elvis Presley
Was waiting for someone to mention McCartney. I'd also add John Lennon for good measure.
Also, no Mick Jagger yet? Pretty soulful voice on the Stones' more bluesy stuff.
She had (and still has) incredible range (4 octaves!) and power. She could belt it out with energy and style.
And my 50 yr old loins are awakened by my 13 yr old feelings for ms Benatar!a
Ann Wilson did Robert Plant better than Robert Plant.
on "Crazy on You"

Id rather listen to Barney sing I love you, you love me over and over than hear one line of Black Hole Sun. That song makes my ears bleed
I hate Stairway to Heaven. It was on the radio every 10 minutes for 10 years straight..... And The Who sucks too. Tommy can you hear me???????? Make it stop.......
Amazing. Thank you for posting that.
