Ok slaw, here you go
Freddie Mercury, Robert Halford, Geoff Tate, Greg Lake, Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers, Glenn Hughes, Ronnie James Dio, Dennis DeYoung, Steve Walsh and Ann Wilson makes 11-oops😎
You are right nutty! About 10 being tough but I thought 25 might be too cumbersome for some.
czarivey, I disagree about progressive rock singers being poor by Nature! There are many great singers in prog rock.( I could go on and on) also it is not only vocal ability that makes a great singer butt the presentation and emotion they put into it
Ok nutty, I couldn't stand it so here is 15 more. It seems we agree on many😎
Lou Gramm
Steven Tyler
John Arch and Jim matheos( Fates warning)
Chris Cornell
David Peck
Elton John
David Byron
Davey PartialSteve Perry
Rick Emmit(-Triumph)
Tommy Shaw
Roger Daltrey
Jack Bruce
Bon Scott
ghosthouse, the artists you just mentioned definitely are not hard rock/metal or prog.! But I think at least some of their music could be considered Rock.😎
maxnewid, Chris Cornell is on nutty's 'list and also on my list. Great singer!😎
I have never been a huge Eddie Vedder fan but that is a matter of personal taste and that's cool.
Layne Stanley is a good choice, very unique voice.
As for Mark Lanegan I am not familiar with the Screaming Trees but I will look into them.
czarivey,  Yes Bon Scott died a horrible death from alcohol. Unfortunately this seems to be a side effect of Fame and Fortune! ie - Elvis, Hendrix, Joplin, Phil Lynott, David Byron, Tommy Bolin and countless others.
Also many others who nearly died ie - Ozzy, Eric Clapton, Iggy Pop, 'Slash, Steven Tyler, Keith Richards( who also by the way snorted his father's ashes)😠... but while Bon Scott was with AC/ DC his personality, the raw energy and emotion that he contributed to the band made him one of the greatest to me,😎
Brian Johnson was good and Back in Black was probably one of the best selling albums of all time!( A very good album that I have heard hundreds of times) but for me I prefer Bon Scott!
four winds, no limitations! just anyone and everyone's opinions on the best.
No one could deny Gregg Allman, he had an awesome voice!😎
Tommy Shaw -  not too shabby!
He was the icing on the cake for an already very unique, top notch band ahead of their time! Definitely a Fav of mine!😎
God given talent and ability is one thing. 
Pure grit and emotion count even more in my book! No one is right or wrong. Whoever hits you😎
I certainly agree that Freddie Mercury was the best!
 I think a lot of people take Robert Plant for granted Just from hearing him so much over the years, But he is definitely one of the best ever😎
