Re: your top 10 rock singers of all time

No particular order..and some whose bands i'm not keen on but acknowledge they are great singers

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 ?

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.

I hear ya! Live And Dangerous is one of the great live albums

Re: your top 10 rock singers of all time

Got to add Suzi Quatro, Chrissie Hynde and Wanda Jackson to that list. There were some great women rock singers

Hah someone else who's heard of Grand Prix. What an underrated band. Yet another band lost in 80's drivel.

Micky Schenker ?! What ? He's better known as Michael Schenker.

Phil Mogg was an odd choice. Sung off key and got away with it.

Surprised no-one's mentioned :

Jorn Lande
Russell Allen
Eric Martin
Tony Martin

Surprised David Draiman of Disturbed didn't get many mentions.
His singing here is phenominal:

Freddie Mercury, of course.
Billy MacKenzie (the Associates) was really good.
Also, Agnetha Faltskog (Abba) has a pretty great voice.

Yes, she really was beautiful, & still is.
Her voice was amazing solo, but the harmonies produced together with Frida were heavenly.

Aghhh Phil Lynott what a singer , what a guy .


It’s such a shame that we’ve lost soooooo many great people and so young .. I’d have loved to see them nowadays and hear their stories .

I’ve been watching the Sky Arts series where the guy from AC/DC interviews old rock legends and it’s wonderful hearing all their stories
