everyone else.. your just naming lead singers and not answering the question properly.
every singer I named would be an amazing lead singer with any rock band behind them. They just have amazing distintive rock n' roll voices.

Brian Johnson sounds like Donald Duck and he doesn't even sound that good anymore. He lived in my hometown (Sarasota) - I saw him live with some local band, Neurotica, that he had put on his label. The local kid from Neurotica sang AC/DC songs waaaay better then him. Johnson had no voice left after years of abuse. Bon Scott was a far better vocalist IMO.

I agree with Robert Plant - he was one of the best vocalists in the history of rock n' roll - but unfortunately, again, he abused himself and his voice all these years and now sounds more like Bea Arthur. No range, no tonal quality - just typical smoker's voice.
