No. 1 on either list should be Freddie Mercury, and I'm not that much of a Queen fan. Can't believe no one has mentioned David Gilmour as a singer yet! He should also make the list as a guitar player; what a talented guy. Also, good call on Brad Delp for those who mentioned him. I'd put him way up high on the list of rock singers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Different style but Ronnie James Dio deserves a mention. And I was a big fan of Geoff Tate. Also, I have no idea her name, but the woman from Evanescence has an amazing voice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 What are you looking for? Voice? Stage presence? I think you'd have to have Freddie first. He had both. After him, you can make the case for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Isn't Mount Rushmore an exclusive American piece of work? Why are we including others? Edited December 30, 2021 by ExiledInIllinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I enjoy these top 4 discussions for various topics on here because I like hearing the variety in people's answers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
