Greatest Rock Vocalist ever?

[Dave1967]

Jim Morrison. I just got finished listening to Strange Days

 

[FLVOL_79]

Mike Patton

 

[GAVol]

Little Richard

Some people will think that's a joke, but about 10 years ago he played here in town and a group of us went to see him almost as a goof. He went from rock to gospel to country and his performance was absolutely astonishing.

 

[SWIL]

Billy Corgan.


.....



okay, I keed.

Me....If I could just get it to translate outside of the shower, didn't have stage fright and could carry a tune in something other than a bucket.

John Bell

They wouldn't qualify as BOAT, but a few of my faves that I hadn't seen mentioned: Zack De la Rocha (RATM), Brent Smith (Shinedown), Rob Zombie, James Hetfield.

Back to the point: I'd put David Coverdale and Rob Halford in the mix.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Oh, and it may not be perfect or pretty, but Ozzy is probably the most recognizable and distinguished.

It wasn't meant to be a joke. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and has been considered the architect of rock and roll. He should be mentioned among Rock vocalist.

While I like most of Ozzy's stuff, he's easily the most overrated rock vocalist of all time, IMO. He's all throat - no projection. It's a miracle the man's vocal chords haven't exploded!

 

[Tux]

Bradley Delp.

 

[Dave1967]

Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis are another two great voices

I'm an Elvis fan from way, way back. But if you're going to include jerry Lee lewis....Ray Charles has to be included as well.

Ray was awesome!

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Roger Daltrey was another great one

Agreed, ones I named are the first two I think of anytime the subject comes up.

 

[Zues1]

Bon Scott was a great front man. However pure singers, Brad Delp,Robert Plant

 

[MphsBlues]

I gotta go w/ Lowell George. On a more contemporary note, Myles Kennedy deserves some mention - Starlight is amazing.
