Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists

not for nothing,if you don't have freddy mercury in your top ten,you're in dire need of an auditory/grey matter exam.

not my favorite band but Robert Plant vocals just screams rock and roll
a very close second(and NO ONE has listed him?) Joe Strummer
John Lennon does a few nice turns
Chrisse Hynes / Patti Smith

I would pick two "traditional rock" singers:
Robert Plant and Roger Daltry.

Add two more mellow "acoustic rock" singers:
Steve Winwood (very unique tone of voice that I really like) and David Crosby.

And close out the list with Eddie Veder

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!
