Which singer has the best rock voice?

[Hamish]

A drunken discussion I had with some friends not so long ago. Which recorded singer would say has the best voice for rock music? I've got my candidate but I'll wait and see if anyone else is of the same opinion!

[Mee]

Jimmy Page. Could easily make you cry  :019: :001:

[Hamish]

Not sure if I've ever heard Jimmy Page sing...

[Mee]

:015: :015: :015: Got Jimmy Page on the brain today sorry! Theres yet more talk of him buying property near here...

Robert Plant is who I meant, oops  :001:

[SMEE]

Its gotta be Bono from U2 for his versatility iand adaptibility in style and range. Robert Plant would be up there too as would freddie mercury.

[Alex MacLeod]

Of those still aive Meatloaf

Of those now deceased Jim Morrison

[Mee]

Aye Jim Morrison's up there too

[tm4tj]

Ian Gillan or Axl Rose

Jusht back from outsdr.. oh very good...weather total PYSH.. too old for this mud shyte, but KT Tunstall was feckin brill....really brill soooper rock(ish) voice.

Fat chick kicked mud all over me...if she was a guy...broken jaw for sure....anyway counted ten and called her fat slag from viz.

[Dmacca]

Graham Bonnet      :022:

[Yngwie]

Rod Stewart had a great rock voice, it's just a shame that he lost his way and wasted his talent on p1shy pop music.

[Hamish]

All good singers mentioned so far (well, Bono??? - good singer but not a rock voice!). I'll interject my opinion - it has to be Noddy Holder! And John Foggerty a close second. And the late Bon Scott third.

[The Mantis]

Rod the Mod before he met Britt Ekland  :004:

[PullMyFinger]

Alex Harvey

Rob Halford

Bon Scott

Klaus Mein

Paul Di'anno

Lemmy Kilminster

Nowadays it's got to be Amy Lee without any doubt.

they're brill but lost something when they lost him.... :007:

[Kingsmills]

Depends on your defination of rock but the late Freddie Mercury has to be a candidate.

[forresdame]

Definitely the late, great Bon Scott.

Also, though I hate to admit it - Ronnie James Dio.

Of the women - that would have to be Tina Turner.

[+The_Sponge]

Not been mentioned yet - Eric Burdon, Danny Bowes or perhaps the legend that is Vim Fuego.

[metalgecko]

Paul Rodgers.      Free / Bad Company. Also toured with Queen recently
