Unlike when some people got their man-panties in a wad, this list isn't mine and man oh man is this list ass with its rankings.

Stevie Nicks and Mick Jagger over Freddie Mercury? GTFO.

#50 doesn't even sing.... he raps...lol.

Steve Perry at #30 is just funny.... and I'm not a fan of Journey at all...lol.

Anthony Keidis rated above Anne Wilson...ok...lol.

I see what you mean. I'll read the rest later.

Throw that list away and let this thread roll with who everybody here enjoys the most personally.

Ian Gillan

Sammy

Pat benatar

Dio

Bruce Dickinson

I'll have many many more as days go on lol

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

This list is a pathetic joke.

I think the "coin" made the list.

Joke if a list...it's like having rap artist in the rock n roll hof

Did I miss geoff tate ??? Joe elliot ??? Paul rodgers ???

#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.

Ian Gillan and Dan McCafferty not on the list. Wow.

No Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen or Roger Daltrey.

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
