Jesus, how did I forget Ian Gillan?

No pun intended....

I'd place him as my #3 favorite rock vocalist, at least back in his early 70's Deep Purple and Jesus Christ Superstar prime.
Ian Gillan's vocal capacity as evidenced in his primal wailing and screaming abilities in his prime were perhaps unmatched.

Rock is supposed to be loud, so being the best ever at screaming and wailing must be an important qualification for anyone claiming to be the best "rock" vocalist ever!
