Vocalists you feel epitomize rock n' roll

[Trayster2]

Let's do a reverse of vocalists who ruin bands.

I love the following voices:
Jimi Hendrix
Joan Jett
Roger Daltrey
Peter Frampton
Johnny Winter
Dennis DeYoung
Jim Morrison

And of course, Ozzy!

 

[Thick McRunfast]

Freddie Mercury

 

[MJ5150]

Brad Delp

-Mike

 

[Yango]

Let's see, so many to choose from...

John Lennon
Paul McCartney
Robert Plante
Paul Rodgers
Joe Strummer

 

[NOT]

* Glenn Danzig - Listen to the track Killer Wolf. His voice is a mix of Jim Morrison and Elvis.

* Izzy Stradlin - So underrated as a vocalist and guitarist.

* Phil Lynott - Amazing.

 

[SunnBass]

Iggy Pop (Stooges era)
David Yow
Glen Danzig
Jello Biafra
Lux Interior
Rick Froberg
Guy Picciotto & Ian Mckaye
Cedric Bixler-Zavala
Henry Rollins
John Lydon (Johnny Rotten)

I could add many, many more. But I have stuff to do, so...

 

[FilterFunk]

Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler. They epitomize R&R swagger and attitude, and Tyler adds the screaming lead singer element.

 

[TOOL460002]

OK... hate me, but:

Maynard
Serj
Layne

EDIT: Plante?

Maynard

EDIT: Plante?

These guys, plus
Hetfield
Rose
Vedder

And, I don't know how anyone could leave him out, Dio.

 

[Stewie26]

Kind of old school but like Eric Burton from the "Animals" He was know as one of the first Bad Boy singers.

 

[pflash4001]

Brad Delp

-Mike

+100

This guy had the most amazing voice and range. He's nothing like the screamo stuff coming out now. I love how clean and clear his vocals and harmonies worked on record. He and Tom Scholz made magic together, IMHO.

 

[michael_atw]

Freddie Mercury

Only took one post. Love that.

The best vocalist to ever grace a rock stage. By far. No contest.

Also, Dave Grohl has the voice to be on a list in this realm.

 

[Bass_Pounder]

Ronnie James Dio
Rob Halford
Bruce Dickinson
Geoff Tate
Ozzy
Robert Plant
David Coverdale
Brad Delp
Freddie Mercury

[colcifer]

I'm going to throw Dylan into the mix. Come on! And yeah, Mercury was ****ing awesome but why hasn't Elton John been mentioned? But the most shameful omission has been Buddy Holly. Really, now. Really. Also, this should be in Misc.

 

[MAJOR METAL]

Scott Weiland
James Hetfield
John Lennon
Kurt Cobain

 

[sevdog]

mmhm.

 

[nicopiano]

Strange, I don't see Axl Rose in any list?!

Some great vocal, and some very crappy.

 

[lokikallas]

Rod Stewart
Dio
Ozzy
Janice Joplin
Jagger

 

[Arial Bender]

Chris Cornell
