country singer, or blues singer, whichever genre(s) you like the best, who's your greatest of all time?

My personal faves are Roger Daltry, John Kay, Peter Gabriel, Peggy Lee, & David Byron...oh yeah...I also like that guy that fronted Live, but I can never remember his name...I consider them all to be separated widely in genre, too.

Sir Paul,( before you bust on me, go try to belt out a good cover of "Oh Darling")
Obviously, Plant was great in his day.
For quality, shear power and range, Boston's Brad Delp was a master !
A couple of unsung rock vocalists that I always liked were The Zombies's Colin Blunstone (still in good voice sinse the early 60's). and The Fixx's Cy Curnin.

As far as chick singers go, I like a bunch, but Dion Warwick, Chrissy Hynde and Joan Armatrading tear me up.

Robert Plant.

For what he did with Led Zeppelin.
For what he did on his own.
And for how he continues to try to grow as a musician, even when most people consider him past his prime.

Greg Allman.
He keeps doing shows night after night and finding a way to stretch out long shows and still keep singing.

Ronnie James Dio. Although I may have spelled his first name wrong.

A surprising choice, actually.

No need to qualify Sir Paul. From 68-70 McCartney's vocals were IT! I liked early Alice Cooper, Paul Rogers, Neil Young (that's right) Noddy Holder,

Good call on Cy, Howlin.

I would have to mention David Bowie, Eddie Vedder, Roger Daltrey, Peter Gabriel and Ian Gillian.

Oh my gaaaawd! LOL

Thanks RG.

That's crazy, but it made me feel good brother!

I'd have to agree with alot of the ones mentioned.

But I always thought this guy was a really good, and usually overlooked singer... I know he banged this one out, and it's one of my faves from the past...

That note he hits at 2:10 just kills me!

Yeah, I absolutely love Perry, Wilson and Hagar. Iconic, in my book.

Also really like Geoff Tate from Queensryche.

And Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge/Mayfield Four... Man, love his voice. He's one of the new guys I really, really like.
