They do need to have range enough to cover the songs they are singing and then need to be able to evoke emotion from the words and captivate an audience. If that is the standard we set I think there are a few people that would rank above Mercury.

Here is my top 5

1. Bono - flat out the greatest front man in the history of rock. He can bring the house down with a crashing song full of noise and effects and sound then the next song can be deep, personal and quiet and he can make a 50,000 seat arena seem like 50 seat club. Bono has charisma in spades which makes him accesible to the crowd.

2. Jagger - in his prime there were few better. The songs are amazing and his voice was solid back then. He is the showman's showman.

3. Eddie Vedder. Maybe the best vocalist in rock. Note I did not say singer. There is a big difference. He doesn't have a huge range, but he has a power and honesty to his singing that few have ever matched.

4. Bruce Springsteen - Again, like Vedder, not a great singer, but a powerful vocalist. When Bruce lays his head back and sings Thunder Road from the back of his throat there is no finer moment in rock.

5. Mercury - for all the reasons I stated above he is amazing. The problem with queen, and I will catch shit for this, is that some of their albums are not that great. They have some amazing songs - some legendary songs. But they also had some real crap.

I'd agree with this is if you take Vedder off. He's a nice singer witha distinct voice and great songs but he doesn't deserve to be in that company.

Yeah and you also know that they were truly great singers because they sound just as good if not better live, unlike many of today's studio altered voices.

My personal favorite Mike Patton! I love him!

Mike Patton (born Michael Allan Patton, January 27, 1968, in Eureka, California) is an American musician. He is best known as the lead singer of Faith No More from 1988 to 1998, but has also handled lead vocals for Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantômas and Peeping Tom. He often produces side projects in collaboration with other musicians, such as John Zorn, Dan the Automator, Björk, The Melvins, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Melt-Banana, Sepultura, Kool Keith, The X-Ecutioners, Subtle, Rahzel and Kaada. Along with Greg Werckman, he co-founded and runs Ipecac Recordings. In May of 2006 he released his newest album "Peeping Tom" which is a collaboration of efforts from several other musicians. It is considered Mike Patton's version of a pop album, it took him several years to create/release. He performed live with Amon Tobin, a.o. at the 2005 Dour Festival.

Patton possesses a wide range of vocal textures and styles, ranging from falsettos, Sinatra-esque crooning and even death metal style grunts and screeches. This diversity has earned him the respect of numerous critics and fans, who consider him one of the most talented rock vocalists to emerge in the 90s.

Outrageous Mike Patton Moments

* During the 1992 Angel Dust tour with Guns N' Roses:
o At one show in Lisbon, Faith No More invited the audience to throw garbage on stage. Patton then rummaged around and ate some of the trash. video
o At another show in South America, the crowd was throwing empty plastic water bottles at Faith No More. Someone threw a bottle on-stage that had urine in it. Mike Patton opened the bottle and poured the contents over his head, plunging the entire audience into shocked silence.
o Patton defecated in an orange juice carton and then sealed it and returned it to Axl Rose's tourbus vending machine.
* During the MTV Music Awards performance of Epic in 1990, Patton flopped around on stage like the controversial dying fish from the video. video
* At a 1995 concert in Chile, the excited crowd began to spit on Faith No More. Patton encouraged this and even invited people to spit in his open mouth while singing. video
* During a European tour, Patton defecated on a park bench in front of Kensington Palace.
* During a 1991 FNM concert in Denmark, Patton told the audience that tour-mates, Lenny Kravitz and Sinead O'Connor were copulating in the hospitality tent. Kravitz looked on in horror.
* Patton became infamous for talking about his self-stimulation habits in the press. He often wore a t-shirt with a grotesque image of a man sitting on a toilet seat, pleasuring himself, and the words "Girls are OK--but they're not the real thing."
* During a Faith No More concert, Patton took off his boot, urinated in it, and then drank it.
* Patton regularly did flips while singing on stage. He often landed painfully on his back, but would get right up and continue singing without interuption. video video 2
* Patton and Faith No More were famous for showing their disdain for MTV...on MTV. This can be seen in the Hanging with MTV performance during the Angel Dust era, where the band continuously interrupted a flustered VJ while she was trying to introduce the next video. video
* Patton, (whilst with Faith No More) during their encore, played their classic tune EPIC at the Phoenix Festival 1993, Stratford upon Avon, Mike whilst singing - urinated all over the security staff at the front of the stage, infront of a 58,000 strong amused crowd.
* In 2002, Patton, this time fronting Tomahawk at the London Astoria, again exposed his penis and urinated on a bunch of photographers. Officials at the venue were horrified, but Patton claimed after the show that it was merely a squirting dildo he'd shoved in his pants before going on-stage. The admission seemed to satisfy the press. However, in a recent interview Patton was asked if it was real or not and was quoted as saying, "There's a dick. There's piss. You do the math."

[edit]

Patton Trivia

* Patton claimed to be an obsessive fan of crooked televangelist Robert Tilton
* Patton's right hand is permanently numb from an on-stage accident during his third concert with Faith No More, where he unintentionally cut himself on a broken bottle and severed the tendons and nerves in his hand. He can use his hand, but he has no feeling in it (much to the surprise of both Patton and his doctor, who had told him the exact opposite).
* Patton was not classically trained and neither reads nor writes music in the traditional sense. Instead, he composes in his home studio and on his computer.
* The recent General Patton Vs. the X-ecutioners was completely arranged and mixed by Patton on his home computer.
* Patton was recently one of two guest soloists at an Italian opera [citation needed]. A recording may see the light eventually [citation needed].
* Patton has claimed to be a video game junkie.
* Patton used to collect S&M masks.

Jeff Buckley, Jim Morrison, Thom Yorke, Matt Bellamy, Bono, Mercury, Plant, Jon Crosby, Jimmy Gnecco & Mike Patton are my favorite singers - all have very distinctive, edgy voices
