Best/Favorite Rock singer? 123 (1 Viewer)

[Medicine Man]

Dio/Freddie Mercury for me. I'll geaux Dio 1 Freddie2. Rik Emmett or Ian Anderson can't decide. Total opposites...
But that's just me.
What say u?

 

[Medicine Man]

My bad. Rob Halford 3.
Rik and Ian honorable mention.

 

[Swamprat]

Robert Plant

David Lee Roth

 

[Goatman Saint]

Freddie Mercury would have to be up there. Robert Plant, not only for Zeppelin, but how he has changed genres as his voice has gotten older and rougher. It still works perfectly for what he's doing. Third place is a toss up for me between Roth and Joan Jett. Roth was great, but really isn't anymore while Jett still portrays the snarling bad *** chick at what 55-56 years old.
