Greatest Rock Singer...

[Folanator]

Lot's of threads about guitar players and bands. But who is the greatist rock singer of all time?

I give you Ian Gillan

Lead Singer for Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and was the original JC in Jesus Christ Superstar. Best voice in the biz...

Honorable mentions...

Fredie Mercury
Robert Plant
Jim Morrison
Getty Lee
David Bowie
Bon Scott

Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy and it's not even close.

Greatist?

 

[BuckNutty]

Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy and it's not even close.

The answer is Pete Wentz, he just doesn't feel the need to sing.

Geddy Lee? Seriously?

I like Robert Plant and of the younger generation I'd go with Chris Cornell.

Geddy was a stretch. He would be voted off the island first.

Who??

Don't forget Roger Daltry of the Who.

Incredible range for a singer. Also played the harmonica, guitar and some percussion.

 

[morbitzerker]

I would have to go with Freddie Mercury. Absolutely best voice I've ever heard from a Rock singer, many other honorable mentions as well.

Must resist urge to vomit...

 

[mercer_buckeye]

Despite his transgressions in the 80's Steve Winwood has one the greatest voices I've ever heard.
