Can't believe people are saying Chris Cornell. I have his debut and Soundgarden album or two but he never blew me away.

I don't care for the idea of there being a single greatest of anything, but CC isn't too shabby of a vocalist.

Good vocalist, horrible politics. :1orglaugh

Another definite honorable mention will go to the lyricist - lead guitarist - vocalist, Rik Emmet of the late 70's - 90's Canadian rock band, Triumph. This guy has range like you can't believe!

It really depends on the criteria. Are we talking strictly vocal chops? Are we talking charisma? What about a combination of both? Gregg Allman is one of the greatest blues singers ever. Ronnie Van Zant wasn't a great singer but he was a great lead vocalist. Hell, Ozzy is a great lead vocalist even if he can't sing worth a damn. Overall I would go with Freddie as far as the guys go. With the females it doesn't really matter what criteria you use because it's still going to be Ann Wilson.

Either ICS Vortex, or Hansii Kursch from Blind Guardian. And Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden.

Axl Rose remains my overall favorite. He tore it up last night - belted it out for close to 3 hours!

He sounded every bit as good as he did 20 years ago! :yesyes:

 

[RangerDick]

Roy Orbison with Eddie Vedder a close second.
