Re: your top 10 rock singers of all time
In their primes;
1 Ronnie James Dio
2 Steve Perry
3 Phil Mogg
4 Bruce Dickinson (never great live, but excellent when controlled in the studio environment)
5 Phil Lynott (opposite of Dickinson - you can't tell the difference between studio and live performances)
6 Robin McCauley (Grand Prix, Micky Schenker, Far Corporation - probably my most obscure suggestion)
7 Paul Stanley
8 Geddy Lee
9 Freddy Mercury
10 Paul Rogers
Honourable mention for Bono though it pains me to admit it because I loathe his band. On the first three or four albums, though, he was exceptional.
Numbers 2-10 could probably appear in any order depending on my mood. Ronnie's always #1, though.

Bon Scott (AC/DC died with him IMHO, can't stand Brian Johnson's screeching. Yes, he was a great frontman as PW said, but I do love his voice and his lyrics were fantastic too)
Paul Rodgers
Chris Cornell
Jim Morrison
Ronnie James Dio
Ann Wilson

Suzi Quatro every time for me. She even starred in Happy Days as a rocker who Joanie Cunningham wanted to go around with, inspired by cool dude Fonzie
I saw Suzi at Gloucester Leisure Centre in '78. I had to escape from the adolescent residential unit to see her as I was in pyjama's, my clothes being confiscated after running away a few days prior
Andy Cardinal (you know who you are lol) leant me his jeans & T-Shirt (valuable as it was a Van Halen T-shirt lol)

Ok so that's 11 off the top of my head. No doubt I'll think of several more.
A lot of people have put Bon Scott. Brilliant singer but nowhere near the range of any of the above. He's more a front man than a singer. Haha that'll get everyone arguing !

Not being rude, but have you ever listened to Roger or Family?.
Family were most certainly a rock band (heavy rock/prog) and Chapman most certainly a rock vocalist, and a very unique one as well.
I do like prog bands as a rule, Yes Gentle Giant, ELP King Crimson. these bands however are probably more focused on complex music and musicianship as oppsed to singing
