    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
    Rod Stewart
    Steve Tyler
    Mike Patton
    Steve Perry
    Agreed and neither can I. The band have had bad press/news over the last year or so, perhaps it's time they called it a day ?

    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 have heard some of Family not a great deal to be honest, I would class them very much a a prog band, however I did not rate him as a singer, although I do concede he has a unique voice. Jon Anderson is another who has a unique voice, but for me I simply do not like their style of singing

    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

    I thought the topic was rock singers. I jest, but I would not class the above as rock singers

    My list is based on these guys being at the top of their game, some are simply dreadful now

    Ian Gillan
    Ronnie Dio
    Rob Halford
    Paul Rodgers
    Alex Harvey
    Bernie Shaw
    Phil Mogg
    David Coverdale
    Roger Daltrey
    Maggie Bell

    Most overrated singers, Robert Plant and Ozzy

    Interestingly all of my favourites are from the UK, except Bernie who is Canadian
