Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists

Ian Gillan's vocal capacity as evidenced in his primal wailing and screaming abilities in his prime were perhaps unmatched.

Rock is supposed to be loud, so being the best ever at screaming and wailing must be an important qualification for anyone claiming to be the best "rock" vocalist ever!

OK since this sting has come to life again, I am going to "refresh" my list, in no order:

Freddy Mercury

Steve Perry

Paul Rogers

Roger Daltry

Ann Wilson

Toss out Axl Rose. Have you heard him sing lately . And I could accept your other top 4 Jonathan.
Steve.

axl has become a clown, but at one point, he was the man..just listen to 'you're crazy' off G&R Lies. --that 2 day session (spawned 4 cuts) was the band's peak, and axl's finest moment. awesome.

To Steve's point. Axl Rose right now is more shot than he was before. I'm a GnR fan of the old and new line-ups. I saw Axl and crew in 2006 and his voice wasn't that bad. Since then with the 3 hour + bloated shows now and constant touring his voice is sounding more worn down. I wish he'd just take some time off and or cut the excess from his shows.
