Who do you think is the best "Rock N' Roll" singer?

Gotta toss another vote out for Freddy Mercury; he's the standard by which I judge everyone else. Honorable mentions to Maynard James Keenan, and Chris Cornell and Robert Plant in their primes...

 

who does freddy mercury sing for?

 

David Gilmore.

 

dude, I can't believe I left him out!

I've got Animals spinning right now

 

Most notably, Queen.

 

thanks embellisher, well then, i would have to say Plant, and then McCartney are my favorites.

 

Freddy Mercury was the name that popped in my head before I even finished the first post...

 

Rock pipes?

No "best", but a great one is Alex T. Ligertwood.

12 albums with Santana and with Jeff Beck and Brian Auger's Oblivian Express before that.

 

+1 for that.

 

Ozzy

 

Elvis or Danzig (Cough/Cool to the 4th album)

I guess im just a sucker for a tenor

 

Meatloaf

he is hardcore, and a damn good singer!

 

"Rock" - Aaron Lewis of Staind, also...that evanescence chick has a good voice,but crappy band

"Rock AND roll" Robert F'in' Plant

 

Another vote for Freddie Mercury. He was amazing.

 

Alice Cooper - 70's stuff

Bruce Dickinson - 80's stuff

 

Ive gotta go with Burton Cummings and Chris Cornell (leaning more toward Cornell), but i also really dig Gavin Rossdale from Bush.

Peace.

 

Without a doubt............ Robert Plant.
Picked up "How The West Was Won" (DVD)
-it should be required material for anyone wanting to see the definition of "FRONTMAN"..

 

Brad Delp - phenomenal live, to this day.
Roger Daltrey- see above.

 

what about this Trio Presley, Lennon and Mccartney.

Heartbreak hotel(Elvis),Twis and Shout( lennon),
Longtall sally/kansas City (Mccartney)???

Not a bad line up???and you got Three bassplayers among those three...

 

I think Machaut, the hard grader, would give an
A+ to

Jerry La Croix

frontman for Edgar Winter's White Trash.

"I've Got News For You" is one of those songs that shows he's running a bored and stroked
V8 under his hood.

------
Freddie was topnotch.
The King is called that for that reason.
Otis Redding always stole the show.

I think Marty Balin had one of the best voices ever in rock, he gets no recognition.

One of my fave set of pipes is still the indefatigable Long John Baldry.

And finally, who was better vocally than the Beach Boys? Nobody.
