greatest rock and roll voice

[D Quintero]

Bon Scott .

 

[Miami]

Well damn.

This also coming from a Dead Head, there's too much Freddie Mercury love in this thread. He's good and all....

Someone had to say it- I've been thinking it all day.

I'm going with a female voice Janis Joplin, I love that raspy, scratchy, soulful sound.

Opinions are like, well, you know.
Daltrey, Plant, Geddy Lee, Paul Rodgers, Steve Winwood. To name a few.

.

add Freddy and any of these get my vote ...

I agree with James Hetfield from 83-98. When the 2003 album (I can't even say the name, good call Bob Rock) was released, it showed front and center that his voice had declined drastically. Sad but true.
But during his heyday, he was something else.

All this Freddie Mercury talk? I thought you said Rock voice, not Opera..............?

 

[havana1]

Sounds like someone is a little, you know...


I once heard a friend say "On a scale of one to Creed, you're Nickleback."

Geez, don't get your panties in a wad.... not everybody loves Freddie Mercury.

Geez, I guess the emoji didn't convey my sarcasm.
Take it easy, ace...I go commando.

Yep, Freddie gets a vote for sure. I also have to admit that Meatloaf is a guilty pleasure. I also admit to knowing nothing of their other work but Disturbed's recent cover of The Sound of Silence...well...wow. And one more: David Clayton-Thomas of Blood, Sweat & Tears.

David Clayton-Thomas of Blood, Sweat & Tears.

Good throaty singer right there. I would throw Burton Cummings of the Guess Who and Terry Kath (early Chicago singer) into that class as well.

 

[Mossome]

I can't believe we've gone this long and no one has mentioned Ronnie James Dio. That dude had some pipes.

 

[BigSkySmoke]

Tom petty, Tom Waits, or David Gilmore and I'm gtg...

There are tons more out there that I believe fall into the "rock and roll" category...
I would rather brush my teeth with a shotgun then listen to queen, aerosmith, ect...

Nobody will agree but axle rose lol

You might as well have asked what is the best cigar in the world.

Upmann Connie #1?

 

[navyvet]

Padron 85

 

[jasonsbeer]

The answer is Rob Halford. What did I win for getting the correct answer?

Steve Walsh was fantastic back in the day, hard to beat his power and how clean he was on the high notes.
