ZoEd Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 I love The Who and Daltry. His voice was made for rock and roll. I should have had him in my original top 5. Hell, I'll go ahead and take Axl off my top 10 and add Daltry, just simply overlooked him. As this thread has progressed I'm almost embarrased that I even put Axl in my top 10.

grego Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Seriously? Axl may be a basket case but dude could sing. Honorable mentions to David Coverdale, Whitesnake Jeff Keith, Tesla Joey Tempest, Europe Geddy Lee, Rush Roger Daltry, The Who great call on keith- still love tesla. underrated, IMO. love rush and lee, although i realize he is an acquired taste. as for brad delp (thought i saw you mention him), LOVE boston. love em! one of my favorite bands of all time. more than a feelin, peace of mind.......sux that he's dead. BUT- live, delp wasnt so great. they did alot of stuff in the studio to make him sound that awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith on Love song, voice was amazing. His power notes seem effortless. Didn't know that about Delp, didn't know there was a lot of "studio magic" back when they were recording. Didn't hear mention of John Bon Jovi. He sounds as good live if not better than on his albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky72 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'd go with Freddie and Steve Perry. One of my tops not mentioned is Ann Wilson. She could/can sure belt it. I heart Bowie. Yeah, pretty underrated. He was really strong when he let it fly, like at the end of Young Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Steve Perry has an awesome voice...Journey just isn't the same without him. As far as Ann Wilson goes, I saw her in concert in Las Vegas years ago, and WOW, that woman could freakin' WAIL!!! She was PHENOMENAL live!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monrovia_Redskin Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Eddie Vedder has a more powerful voice than Steve Perry and maybe even Roger Daltrey did. Eddie Vedder can pull off a scream, or any yell that Roger can. Eddie Vedder deserves to be talked about more in the top vocalist argument!

He sounds as good live if not better than on his albums. i love 'love song' and 'the way it is'. the man has a great, pure rock voice. as for delp, google some live boston videos on youtube. its not that he necessarily sounds bad, just not quite like the studio. its that def leppard 'hysteria' multi-tracked, too clean sound (which, as i said, i love ) i think it has something to do with 'rockman' technology. some kind of device sholz came up with to produce that kind of sound. the new boston singer- mark decarlo i think his name is- actually sounds more like delp than delp! i saw sebastian bach live in frederick about 10 years ago and that man could wail just like he does on their CD's. i was impressed. i remember he said 'you rock, baltimore...i mean, frederick!'. doh!

zoony Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 holy hell I can't believe so many people are saying Robert Plant. Plant, IMO, is probably the worst singer in the history of rock (that was part of a big-time band). He sounds like a 12 year old eunuch. Terrible, terrible, terrible voice. Just awful. The correct answer to the OP is Eddie Vedder and its not close watch him with tom petty (esp from the 4:00 mark) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK7Bks4XbD4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monrovia_Redskin Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Eddie Vedder could embarrass any leader singer in music today. Give Vedder a time machine and he'd humiliate Elvis Presley too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the best combination of strength and tone of anyone, ever. He can overpower 2 guitars, a bass, and drums... but he's silky smooth and his pocket and control are perfect. you put him on a stage with freddie or robert plant and you'd only hear Eddie ....

ZoEd Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Just finished watching Iron Maiden on Direct TV's 101 Network, if you havent seen it you have to check it out. After watching Iron Maiden live I think Bruce may have jumped pretty damn close to the top of my list. The man has range and his vocals are as smooth as silk. I haven't really listened to Iron Maiden since my teenage years and although I was always a fan of Bruce's voice I was never a huge Maiden fan. Hwever, now that I'm older I have much more appreciation for their music. It has me wanting to go out and buy all of their albums, unfortunately there's a ton of them. I also realized something while watching this show. What happened to rock and roll that told a story? If I had to list my top ten all time favorite rock songs every one of them probably tells a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shredmojo Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Paul Rodgers is by the best Ive seen live. As far as talent though, Sebastion Bach hands down. I'd say Russell Alan of Symphony X..but he is a Robert plant ripoff too often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
