Mike Patton is greater than all of them
Jim Morrison should be top 10 if not number 2
Chris Cornell is better than most of the top 20
Where the fuck is John Lennon? come on man what the fuck about Phil Anselmo?
Even Dax Riggs could out sing a large portion of those hacks.....Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Him and Axel Rose reminded me of fingernails screeching on a chalkboard but then some people think they have lovely voices.... Originally Posted by Little Wing

I love Jimi more than most people think they do but I would never say he was a superb vocal talent, not as far as singing goes for bluesy gruffness yea he's talented vocally, as a lyricist great, in singing Bob Dylans songs well hell that ain't too hard to beat....but no his singing was no out of sight feat....

In terms of talent, Bruce Dickinson should be way higher up, also.http://www.getlifting.info

There isn't one Beatle on their, Elvis is not there. Eric Burdon, Van Morrison and Steve Winwood should have places on there.....New guys like already mentioned Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland...
As far as Black men go if they included Motown then most of these cats wouldn't stand a chance, dig? Otis Redding and Sam Cooke would lay waste to these guys with one song....Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
