| Best Singers In Rock Music
The best singers of alltime IMO. | | 1 | John Lennon (Beatles/solo)
Raspy, psychedelic, sleepy, poppy, bittersweet. Listen to: I'm Only Sleeping, In My Life, Mother, I Want You | | 2 | Robert Plant (Led Zep)
Orgasmic, charismatic, mellow, pure rock and roll. Listen to: Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog, Kashmir | | 3 | Freddie Mercury (Queen)
Amazing range, operatic, flamboyant, accurately intonated. Listen to: Love Of My Life, Killer Queen, Don't Stop Me, Bohemian Rhapsody | | 4 | Paul McCartney (Beatles/solo)
Sweet, charming, pleasant, just plain amazing. Listen to: For No One, Get Back, Maybe I'm Amazed, Here There and Everywhere | | 5 | Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
The voice of the 90s, talented artist, and a vulnerable singer. Listen to: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Polly, Rape Me, All Apologies | | 6 | Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath/solo)
Godfather of Heavy Metal. Listen to: Ironman, Electric Funeral, War Pigs | | 7 | Jim Morrison (Doors)
Scary, touching, melancholic, and brave. Listen to: Light My Fire, Break On Through, Love Me Two Times, Tell All The People | | 8 | Bob Dylan (solo)
You either hate his voice, or love it. Listen to: Mr.Tambourine Man, Like A Rolling Stone, Blowing In The Wind | | 9 | Black Francis (Pixies)
Influenced grunge, and modern rock. Listen to: Where Is My Mind, Debaser, Crackity Jones, Mr Grieves | | 10 | Thom Yorke (Radiohead/solo)
Creepy and haunting voice, thats sweet and emotional at the same time. Listen to: Karma Police, Nude, Creep, Paranoid Android | | 11 | Bon Scott (AC/DC)
Way better than that new guy. Listen to: TNT, Let There Be Rock, Highway To Hell | | 12 | David Bowie (solo)
The chameleon of the music industry. Listen to: Life On Mars, Space Oddity, The Man Who Sold The World | | 13 | Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones)
Sounds like its easy to sing like Mick, but try it outyourself and it isnt. Listen to: Brown Sugar, Start Me Up, Angie, Emotional Rescue | | 14 | Morrissey (Smiths/solo)
Never will we again see a singer so flamboyant with a voice like Morrissey. Listen to: This Charming Man, Handsome Devil, There Is A Light...,How Soon Is Now | | 15 | Ian Curtis (Joy Division)
Invented what we now call the goth voice. Also influenced alot of new indie bands. Listen to: Isolation, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Transmission, Shadowplay | | 16 | Rivers Cuomo (Weezer)
Basically, his voice is the blueprint for the voice of every other alternative band that came after them. Listen to: Buddy Holly, Tired of Sex, Say It Aint So, The Sweater Song | | 17 | Johnny Lyndon (Sex Pistols)
Sure, it isn't melodic or mellow, but his primal half-shouted singing and strong accents revolutionised punk and rock music. Listen to: Bodies, Anarchy in the UK, God Save the Queen | | 18 | Bono (U2)
U2 are without a doubt the kings of arena rock and Bono's echoey howls and high singing helped mold the band's signature sound. Listen to: New Year's Day, With Or Without You, Beautiful Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday | | 19 | Chris Cornell (Soundgarden/solo)
It's rare to see a singer with a voice so raspy yet so mellow, with a vocal range like Cornell's. Listen to: Black Hole Sun, Billie Jean | | 20 | Zack De La Rocha (Rage Against the Machine)
Rap plus Metal plus Funk? What does that sound like? Sounds like De La Rocha's singing. Listen to: Killing In The Name, Bulls on Parade, Guerrila Radio | |

08.28.09 | The only goods ones are 2 and 3. | Romulus
08.28.09 | A bunch of these are good but a lot are pretty generic | Jesuslaves
08.28.09 | cough rob halford cough | SlightlyEpic
08.28.09 | This list is wrong. | Streetvulture
08.28.09 | bono's good but i cant stand the man or his music | Blindsided
08.28.09 | There is nothing wrong with Brian Johnson. He sounds just like Bon so what is there to hate on? | Boognish
08.28.09 | I don't agree with a lot of these | AliW1993
08.28.09 | some great choices but list isvery generic.
also "that new one" has been with ac/dc for nearly 30 years... | Yotimi
08.28.09 | I thought even avid Dylan fans hated his voice. | PuddlesPuddles
08.28.09 | They do
It's horrible | CreamCrazy
08.28.09 | *fumes* Without the inclusion of Myles Kennedy or Billy Corgan, & the stupid inclusion of Bono this list means nothing to me | Fxxkit13
08.28.09 | blah list. | Streetvulture
08.28.09 | bono is better than myles kennedy | Greggers
08.28.09 | BRUCE FUCKING DICKINSON | Titan50
08.28.09 | Agreed with all except Ozzy, Bon and Morissey. List could use some Mike Patton, Trent Reznor and Matt Bellamy | LepreCon
08.28.09 | Needs Ian Gillian, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Steven Tyler, alice Cooper and Bruce Dickinson if it is to be anything close to a definitive all time greatest rock vocalist list | Titan50
08.28.09 | For 15 you didn't rec New Dawn Fades
Twat | ferprints
08.28.09 | This list needs Maynard James Keenan-Tool/A Perfect Circle. Listen to: Everything | Boognish
08.28.09 | How the hell could rivers cuomo's voice be the 'blueprint for the voice' of other singers | Baphomet
08.28.09 | WHERE THE FUCK IS JACK BLACK?!
.... and... errm.... Bono? seriously? | Boognish
08.28.09 | Bono means 'good voice' in latin, therefore he must be on the list. | shindip
08.28.09 | it is funny because 6 and 8 are absolutely terrible singers. | Boognish
08.28.09 | Bob Dylans 1960's and early 70's voice sounded really cool | Baphomet
08.28.09 | ¨¨ really? I thought his name meant "Annoying Goody-two-shoes douchebag who won't quit bitching about Africa"
anyway the more you know, the less you don't. | bernardo06
08.28.09 | Good list, these people don't know what they are talking about. He is talking about ROCK vocalists. Maynard shouldnt be on there he isnt a rock singer. The author threw in a few genre inventing vocalists who were argueably rock vocalists in there time even if they don't seem so now.
probably should have had Elvis and Buddy Holly on the list though. | Upsidedown_and_Sideways
08.28.09 | My hatred for Bono blinds me to this list. | Boognish
08.28.09 | Yep, the full phrase is 'bono vox'. | thebbqshrimp
08.28.09 | Caleb Followill -- Kings of Leon
Brian Fallon -- The Gaslight Anthem
Two tremendous modern-day rock vocalists. | Boognish
08.28.09 | Caleb Followill is not a tremendous modern-day rock vocalist. On the contrary, he sounds like a retard. | thebbqshrimp
08.28.09 | Well, you officially know nothing. His voice is unbelievable. | LepreCon
08.28.09 | Caleb sang good on KOL's first two albums. On the next two...not so much | thebbqshrimp
08.28.09 | I'll agree with the first half of that statement.
"On the next two... still great."
Fixed.
If you listen to the song "Use Somebody" and think that the singer is not good, then you know nothing about singing. Officially. | LepreCon
08.28.09 | Never said he wasn't a good singer, I just think his vocals are much better suited to the southern and garage rock style they played earlier on rather than to the more mainstream alternative style they adopted later. And not liking vocals on a particular song doesn't render someone's opinions on singing invalid. | Boognish
08.28.09 | ^Exactly. I never liked KOL, but particularly on the last two albums, it sounds like U2 granted a make a wish foundation request to do a session with a dying retard. | LepreCon
08.28.09 | lol Boognish you are my new favourite user | thebbqshrimp
08.28.09 | "And not liking vocals on a particular song doesn't render someone's opinions on singing invalid."
Via a Sputnik music thread, sure it does. ;)
And Boognish, while your post made me chuckle, you're still incredibly wrong, and you should go diaf. | Titan50
08.28.09 | "Maynard shouldnt be on there he isnt a rock singer. "
err... yes he is | bungy
08.29.09 | Wheres bruce dickinson on this list? | demon of surveillance
08.29.09 | Where's Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson? And Chris Cornell should be a lot higher. Plus his voice isn't raspy. | Shrapnel94
08.29.09 | Welcome to sputnik. | robertsona
08.29.09 | 5/7/10 yea | killrobotmusic
08.29.09 | Where is Brian Wilson? |
