Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists

My 6 year old daughter posed this question. I thought it was great. She also said that she knew her favorites were not the best. Here are my choices, which are not necessarily my favorites:

No particular order:

Robert Plant
Freddie Mercury
Axl Rose
Janis Joplin
Paul Rodgers

Adam Lambert. He can mimic most of the singers mentioned and maybe sound better. If he developes his own style he may really be something. Yes, I do blow valuable listening time in front of the TV watching American Idol.

For vocalists that will always sound great, I'd go with these:

Bon Scott (it's insane that no one mentions him!)

Freddie Mercury

Robert Plant

Phil Lynott

I'd take Freddie over any other singer...

in order...
Roy Orbison & Elvis Presley have the greatest range
Robert Plant ... comes close
Janis Joplin for sheer emotive content.
Freddy Mercury... tone and excitement
Jim Morrison... darkly expressive and involving
... and several of the Eagles, of course.

blindjim's outstanding picks reminded me of two of my favorites who also had the 'imediately identifiable' thing in spades..rick nelson and gene pitney.
