Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists


My 6 year old daughter posed this question. I thought it was great. She also said that she knew her favorites were not the best. Here are my choices, which are not necessarily my favorites:

No particular order:

Robert Plant
Freddie Mercury
Axl Rose
Janis Joplin
Paul Rodgers

To Steve's point. Axl Rose right now is more shot than he was before. I'm a GnR fan of the old and new line-ups. I saw Axl and crew in 2006 and his voice wasn't that bad. Since then with the 3 hour + bloated shows now and constant touring his voice is sounding more worn down. I wish he'd just take some time off and or cut the excess from his shows.
Rock and Rock & Roll are not the same thing. Very few, if any Rock & Roll singers mentioned so far.
Rok2id, if you are going to make such a statement, then examples would be uesful.
The OP's list does not contained any Rock & Roll singers. That's what 'caused' me to comment.

R&R was a genre aimed primarily at young juveniles. It was very good for dancing. It was happy and fun and dealt mostly with young people's notion of love / romance with subtle sexual suggestion.

It did not glorify drugs or violence or hate and certainly was not political in nature. The arists did not have to look, act and dress weird or have prison records.

some R&R singers are:
Elvis --- Chuck berry ---- Fats domino ---- little richard --- jerry lee lewis ---- most, but not all of the motown groups. And many more I am tooo old to remember. The genre did not last long before it was taken over by no talented 'bands' that made a lot of noise and looked strange.
I should have been clearer in my post.
Cheers.
