Who has the best voice for Rock N Roll?
 

My pics are in a particular order

Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden

Sammy Haggar from Van Halen

Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin

Oh shit how could I forget DIO ;-)

hmmm....
Phil Anselmo
Layne Stanley
tuff one lemme think

Robert Plant was the first to pop into my mind.

Ronnie James Dio - greatest vocals of all time


Rob Halford second

Yeah I know how could I forget the dude, he's defenitly in my top 5

You'd have to add Sebastian Bach into the group you've already mentioned. How appropriate, a thread about rock and metal for post #666 :evil-laug

Just to be different...

Ed Kowalczyk from Live.

Covering different styles of rock I would say:

Bono
Robert Plant
John Lennon
Phil Anselmo
Chris Cornell
Mick Jagger
Freddie Mercury

I am sure I will think of more...

same here :thumbsup

Maynard James Keenan by far no one comes close. :thumbsup

J - thats a hard question to answer. There are so many talented vocalists out there. Definately Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin comes to mind first. His voice was great 30 years ago and he has managed to take care of his vocal chords, so they still sound great today.

Purple Haze

I love Roger Daltrey's voice.

My vote is for Robert Plant too, I love Led Zeppelin

Chris Cornell tops my list along with Courtney Love

courtney love? what in gods name!??!!

Robert Plant

Jimi Hendrix ( i think its great )

Trent Reznor

DC Dart, lead singer of the Crucifucks. Hands down.

Robert Plant

Jeff Buckley

Chris Cornell

Geoff Tate

Eddie Veddar

Joe Cocker

Maynard

Amy Lee

Tori Amos

WTF!???

Brian Johnson from ACDC should almost win this hands down...
and
Robert Plant

everyone else.. your just naming lead singers and not answering the question properly.

Dee Snider. :)

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 :1orglaugh 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. :2 cents:

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.

Ronnie JAmes Dio and Rob Halford

Dicky Barrett

Steve Perry
Chris Cornell
Steven Tyler
Axl Rose (when he was cool)

roger daltrey
john wetton
steve perry
freddie mercury
the lead singer of bad company his name escapes me

Robert Plant above all else.

A few that haven't been mentioned yet but probably should be...

Brad Delp (Boston)
Klaus Mein (Scorpions)
Geddy Lee (if you don't know what band he's with you suck)
Roger Waters (same comment as above)


And no "best rock vocalist" list would be complete without the king. Elvis rules.

Paul Rodgers.

I forgot Ian Gillan.

Brian Johnson,Robert Plant,Ozzy,Steven Tyler

Lemmy :)

If you want to get technical....

How does Kurt Cobain sound today?

Ive seen Brian Johnson perform in person myself, and I was disgusted. But, as far as the sound that was laid down back in the day, it became the standard for rock.

Robert Plant, in the studio, and in all his falsetto glory, also became the form to follow. In person... extremely disappointing.

don't even get started about Axle Rose.... lol.

I agree.... :thumbsup :thumbsup

:thumbsup :thumbsup

bon scott
tim armstrong
mark e smith
billy gibbons

Awesome, totally forgot about Lemmy, he deserves to make this list :thumbsup

I cant believe you retards all forgot Sanjaya...DUH!!!

hell yes!!
