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. _________________ If you don't like what I do, that's okay with me. I'll probably do it anyway, though. |

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. _________________ http://www.allnightmusic.com/MichaelRiehle |

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. _________________ http://www.allnightmusic.com/MichaelRiehle |

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, |

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. _________________ "We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." -E.M. Forster |
