You ever hear Ian Gillan's Gethsemane? Guy had a crooner's voice. Rob Halford should be higher too.

#1 Freddie Mercury
#2 Robert Plant
#3 Steve Perry
#4 Ronnie James Dio

After that open for discussion IMO. But that said I would think those four have to be high on most people's lists.

It seems they have singers and front men/women seriously confused. Even then, it's still not a very good list

Roy Orbison
Burton Cummings
Elvis
Chris Issak

That list is garbage. The problem is rock spans many decades and genres. As far as pure singing and vocalists are concerned, these guys would have to be at the top of any list imo
