I'd like to second Grace Slick. In her prime, wow, she could belt them out.

I don't know about being a great singer but I have always enjoyed Warren Zevon, too. Poor Pitiful him.

I like Gerard Way's voice from My Chemical Romance.

No, I am not 14 years old.

An absolute classic example of nutty 50's musicians meeting nutty 60's musicians...

Thanks for that. Not a good example of his SINGING though, Lennon hogging the mike.

Here is the greatest singing performance by any rock and roll guitar-playing original artist I've ever heard.
Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode:

And he makes it more earthy here:

He killed it. Over half a century ago. Still fantastic.


Thanks for that, VanIslander, I really enjoyed those videos.

But check this one out Shocked

Maybe not the best Berry performance, but Hell, look at him go!

For singers who fit their type of music best I'll go with Axl Rose and Till Lindemann.

Funny I was never much of a GnR fan, but Axl was perfect for their songs.

Maynard James Keenan from Tool/A Perfect Circle. Incredible range and tones from whispers to growls.

Exhibit A

Ottis Redding or Sam Cooke, but neither are really blues or rock singers.

I think Springsteen sounds great; he has such such a cool American accent.

I liked Robert Smith's voice and Moz's gay sounding voice was/is good for what he does.

My favorite singer is probably David Byron - Uriah Heep (R.I.P.)

10 years ago, I would have said Bruce Dickinson. I used to be such an Iron Maiden freak.

But one singer I can't stand is Ozzy Osbourne. He doesn't get on my nerves (much) on the first 5 or 6 'Sabbath albums, but he got ultra whiny around the time of 'Sabbath's '76 album, Technical Ecstasy. The only track worth listening to on there is "It's Alright", and the Oz Man isn't even singing that one.
