yes i am partial to Robert Plant but Bon Scott has my vote.I feel Bon was far and above Mick as well.

Who you folks get the Vibe from?

Mick Jagger. 

Plant and Page were magic.

Jagger is very special.

Freddy Mercury has to be on the Mount Rushmore, with David Lee Roth just missing the cut.....

Hate DLR, total dog

There is only one called The Boss and there are many reasons for that name but he is The Boss and the one and only. If you have never been to a concert, do yourself a favor and see the greatest there ever was or will be before he or you is gone. 

Never saw Plant when he was younger as an old guy, he sucked though.

Jagger belongs here as does Mercury, both epic performers.

Those 2 on top, for sure, honorable mention to:

Roger Daltrey
Steven Tyler
David Bowie maybe?

But Springsteen -

To me he's like Bono - they might be great "showmen" in concert, but neither of them are great singers like all the other names mentioned in here. Good thread.

Can I get a shout out for Paul Rodgers from Bad Company?

Now THERE is a set of pipes! Teamed up with Jimmy Page for The Firm, also The Law (which was nothing).

Teamed up with Queen for an attempt  before settling on another Queen  (who can carry a Queen tune BTW)

Google All Right Now and thank me later.........

Get down James Brown! The ultimate showman. 

I don't know what it is,but the older I get the more I can't stand Robert Plant's voice. You could've put a howlin monkey in front of that band and it would still sound good. Dude was really into wizardry too.

45, Brother James was the hardest working man in show business, but the thread reads Rock Band.

Nothing wrong being The Godfather Of Soul

Plant the best by far

Axl...amazing for a short period of time

Janis Joplin.. incredible voice and she gave zero phucks about critics

My 2 favorite though are Cornell and Grohl. 2 best voices IMO

Lots of good choices from you guys. Have to go with the Boss because of his concerts (been to several). He normally plays for four hours or more. Close second is Steve Tyler. They put on a great show.

Maynard James Keenan, front man for Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.


Not a big Queen fan, but Freddy's performance at Wembley Stadium during the Live Aid concert is amazing and in my opinion was the best one of the whole event..

You're not supposed to give the #1 answer in the first post of the thread - you killed the thread before it even started.

I remember they opened with this number:
