[XxXApolykaXxX]

[stradlin62]

@XxXApolykaXxX yeah, Axl Rose is the winner for me. He's an Incredible vocal range!!!

[OVERKILLSLAYER95]

Freddie fue un dios pero voy por Gillan y Plant

[wkunderwood2003]

nope......ROB!ROB!ROB!

[Guitariification]

Man did u ever heard of Layne Staley ? You can't make top 10 list without him,..... CAN'T ! :)

[BubbaYoga]

I'm tired of everyone thinking Freddie Mercury is a god. He's good but he's no Freddie.

[FREDDIEROCKSS]

@BubbaYoga Love it.....Freddie's the best!!

[Ultrastep96]

5:27 James Franco lol

[mostgrossdanger04]

We should make an alternate list of all the ones missing according to other opinions..a comparable list I reckon....As long a Michael Bolton does NOT get a look in..he keeps popping up in the links..jeez!!

[eddieg94]

pretty good, but no STEVEN TYLER (Aerosmith)?

[skydog69zoso]

myles keneddy es una copia barata de jeff buckley

[vitorozorio100]

<Freddie Mercury!

[Thijm342]

WHERE THE FUCK IS BRUCE DICKINSON AND GODDAMN WHERE THE FUCK IS DIO?????

[eleqtroboii]

y James Alan Hetfield? creo qe el es de es thrash metal no? haganme ver mi error xD

[darkcreed18]

@eleqtroboii Jajaja, exacto, Trash Metal (metal rápido) en sus inicios, desde su disco Master Of Puppets fueron menos Trash, desde el Black Album se hicieron más alternativos y sus fans se dividieron prefiriendo al Metallica antiguo que el "nuevo", en el 2006 sacaron St. Anger, sin solos de guitarra y pesado, muy criticado, al final se reivindicaron con Death Magnetic con un sonido Trash y bien heavy =D, pero Hetfield no es gran cantante, la banda en general sí es LA BANDAZA!, saludos de Perú!.

[vartolomei55]

@eleqtroboii - no way in top 10

[bulsaraforever1]

Gracias por poner a FREDDIE en primer lugar,el es el mejor cantante de la historia,la mejor voz,el más creativo y el mejor showman de este mundo.Gracias darkcredd18,te saludo desde Chile.

[darkcreed18]

@bulsaraforever1 Exacto!!!, soy más fan de Myles Kennedy y Eddie Vedder, pero admito que Freddie Mercury fue el mejor de todos los tiempos!!!, hay que ser justos, saludos de Perú brother!!.

[ChessNutQueen]

Freddie is The Best!!!!!! Most amazing, most awesome, most phenomenal of all.

QUEEN!!!

[addicted2johnnydepp]

Freddie Mercury will always be # 1!!!

Queen <3

[wkunderwood2003]

10 GUYS BETTER THAN FREDDIE MERCURY.....bruce dikinson,dan mccafferty,steven tyler,ronnie james dio,bon scott,brian johnson,steve perry,rod stewart,bob seger,...and the greatest singer ever!!!!....ROB HALFORD......ever!!!!

[beroth77]

@wkunderwood2003 ROB CANT STAND THE FEET OF dAN mCCAFERTY AND dIO

[FreddieGodofRock]

@wkunderwood2003 Better than Freddie???? In your dreams! Nobody beats Freddie....Nobody!!

[THANATOS112220]

I think Ann Wilson should have been in that list, she is definitely the best female Rock and Roll singer (in my opinion of course)! Though, Freddie Mercury is the greatest Rock and Roll singer of all time, gotta love his voice!

[DRGpunk]

Why isn't there Axl Rose

[TheRealMusic78]

Yes!! Finally someone appreciates Jeff Buckley!!!!

[0ngus]

Maynard James Keenan definitely deserves a place on this list. Myles Kennedy and Eddie Vedder should be higher too.

[Victoria37]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

[beroth77]

thanks for the work ,but didnt anyone have heard noddy holldder,and dan mccafferty.no of these guys on the videoeven beying extremelygood can reach the feet of these guys

[luisfaial]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!

YOU PUT MYLES KENNEDY ON THE LIST BUT YOU DON`T PUT AXL ROSE??????????????

[XxZombiExSlayeRxX]

@luisfaial I have to agree here. Lol.

[slickcross]

decent list

[AZARTI5]

love reign over me was covered by pearl jam as well, as eddie sings there better in my opinion then daltrey :D

[darkcreed18]

@AZARTI5 YES!!!, i say the same!!!, but is a cover T.T

[MMB112009]

Myles and Eddie should have been higher in my opinion but respectable list

[darkcreed18]

@MMB112009 Myles, Eddie and Mercury my favorites singers!!!, but...by history, they are below ...

[orlbrca]

@darkcreed18 Freddie is the best of the all history

[BeatlesMegaMusic]

John Lennon and Paul McCartney

[XxZombiExSlayeRxX]

@BeatlesMegaMusic John Lennon and Paul McCartney were greast artist and composers, but they didn't have any of the greatest vocals.

[beroth77]

@XxZombiExSlayeRxX have you heard paul's singuing????"oh darling" i got a feeling".....i 'm notinto beatles but paul sing very very high level

[philiponbass]

[darkcreed18]

@philiponbass where?...i don't know?, in his houses?? =D.

[Dunnknowargie]

@philiponbass idiotic internet bully.

[XxZombiExSlayeRxX]

@philiponbass First of all, the "greatest vocalist" is an opinion anyways, and the list consist of HIS opinions, so shut the fuck up. If you think it should be different, than make your own, and get your own snobby comments saying "where the fuck is blablabla? Go eat a dick, you suck. From planet Mars." Gtfo.

[bijgirik]

1. jeff Buckley

You must watch this video: Jeff Buckley amazing voice and an incredible vocal range

[gemlea100]

Of course Freddie had to be number 1 there is none other



[rauldifontana]

CREO QUE EL MEJOR DE LOS SOLISTAS ES STEVE PERRY, TIENE UNA VOS MAS EDUCADA Y POTENTE, TAMBIEN CREO QUE UNOS DE LOS MEJORES ESSAMMY HAGAR Y DAVID LEE ROT, ESA ES MI OPINION

[ricardoleony]

where´s Bruce Dickinson?

[raduking]

@ricardoleony who ?!?

[witocco1]

Ronnie James Dio? At least second place!

Ok, I know they're the best of best, but Dio should be there too.

[nmnmnm90]

there is no doubt..... of course freddie mercury...200%

[ubercoolnerd]

Where the 'ell is Steven Tyler?!

[zajacik25]

@ubercoolnerd home :D

[MsJilsephonie]

i like all this classics you got but for me the best live vocal performance EVER is layne staley love hate love in 1990 at the moore (everybody should check this one out)

[renecmp]

very good!! attends this watch?feature=player_embedded&­v=W8beLdXozMk

[CobeyUYA]

Jim Morrison... (The Doors)

[plijevo]

1. FREDDIE MERCURY (queen)

2. ROBERT PLANT (led zeppelin)

3. IAN GILLAN ( deep purple)

4. RONNIE JAMES DIO (Black Sabbath , Rainbow)

5. BOB DYLAN

[jaganjacfan]

I don't know why whenever Gillan is included in this kind of lists, it's always the part of child in time where he screams. The part before of the song is quite difficult to sing too, and can only fully meaningful and emotional be sang by him. And that's not the only song there. Take for instance others like: when a blind man cry, fighting man, pictures of home, strange kind of woman (live version)...

[TheMrMouth]

Freddie Mercury  !!!

[ValminDesign]

1. Freddie Mercury

2. Freddie Mercury

3. Freddie Mercury

4. Queen (Freddie Mercury)...

And so on...

[bulsaraforever1]

@ValminDesign Ican see you adore Freddie ,just like me and yes ,he is eternally the number ONE on the face of the earth forever ans ever.

[ChessNutQueen]

@ValminDesign Oh, I Love your answer!! Someone after my own heart.....love it!! There's Freddie, best voice ever, and then there's everyone else. *x*

[FreddieGodofRock]

@ValminDesign Best comment....Ever!!

Freddie - God of Rock!!!!

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

@ValminDesign ....Best answer ever!

Freddie, Freddie, Freddie!!

[9danielos5]

[vioolinka]

My TOP:

1.Freddie Merury

2.Freddie Mercury

(..)

10.Freddie Mercury

You was the best and You're the best! :)

[AnalogBurnout]

Good list, I think Layne Staley deserves a spot too, perhaps even brandon Boyd.

[xX17WarPaint28Xx]

prince is better than all

[heinbenable]

look dude, i don't know what criteria you use to determine a great singer, but steven tyler is not even close to being on this list. I love kurt cobain but he is not a great vocalist either. try to imagine you are showing a vocalist to someone for the first time. will they be impressed by cobain's or tyler's vocal style? I think not.

[yurimustafa1]

Myles Kennedy the best vocal

[yurimustafa1]

Myles Kennedy the best vocal

[coolman9992]

freddy should have 1 and he is

no more to be said

[ShieldMaidenBLS]

@kbodlasd All due respect, we all have our opinions. But, Rolling Stone and several other top music magazines have also listed Freddie as number one. Look up the video Queen-Live Aid-1985. Also check out In My Defence, two great examples of how amazing Freddie's voice was. Robert Plant is also agreed on as one of the best. You cannot have a top ten without them in it. Though I agree that Corell should have been on it.

[peglegfury]

Im a big Traivs Meeks (days of the new) and Kevin Martin (candlebox) fan. Those guys are under-rated or simply forgotten about

[TheThrasher77]

@kbodlasd no freddie u must be crazy

[BeeFittyTwooz]

In my opinion, there should be 2 categories for older singers and the newer. For example, Older: Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Paul McCartney, Ozzy Osbourne, etc. Newer: Kurt Cobaine, Eddie Vedder, Thom Yorke, Chris Cornell, etc... Just my opinion :)

[jhawk617]

@kbodlasd its hard to pick a top 5, but i know none of those ppl are in there

[throbzdubstep]

Darth Vader is the best vocalist, gawd get your fact's right.

[bikasgrunge]

Freddie Mercury, Robert Plany, Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Eddie Vedder

[pineapplesinvinegar]

the deep purple clip should be from their Made in Japan album because its SO much better than the studio version

[MrManslaughter21]

yuo so good but i mena, cornell is just fuckin awsome maybe better than mercury e.e but so god

[dt089]

Freddie and Plant are 1 and 2, but Cornell is right up there. Cornell has the most range as a rock singer.

[childsfan999]

Where is Brent Smith? Grrr.

[tatotato7777]

well this is my top :

5 freddie mercury

4 freddie mercury

3 freddie mercury

2 freddie mercury

1 FREDDIE MERCURY ;)

[MUDSHARK111]

@tatotato7777 you forgot Freddie mercury. shame on you.

[darkcreed18]

@kbodlasd Scott Stapp...before...now?...i don't thing...

[suemarnamosdp]

Freddie se agotaba demasiado rapido y la gente no se da cuenta cuando desafinaba >/ .

[jesusmercury12]

@suemarnamosdp estas pendejo no sabes de musica todos saben que freddie mercury es y sigira siendo el mejor vocalista idiota

[suemarnamosdp]

@jesusmercury12 Por lo que dices se nota que tu eres el q no sabe nada, que haiga tenido una voz maravillosa no lo ocmvierte en el mejor. A quien no le gusta Mercury? A mi me encanta como canta pero tambien se debe reconocer que tenia falencias en sus presentaciones.

[darkcreed18]

@suemarnamosdp Quién no se cansa?...hasta Bruce Dickinson se cansa!!.

[suemarnamosdp]

@darkcreed18 Dije demasiado rapido, entiendes lo que significa demasiado, el cansancio de Freddie hacia que desafinara en muchos de sus temas e hiciera mal muchos de sus temas, a mi no me parece buena ninguna de las presentaciones de Bohemian Rhapsody en vivo por lo menos en los 80´s por ejemplo. Cuando ahi otros que si alcanzan hasta la ultima cancion y siguen cantando como en el comienzo. Un ejemplo Steve Perry en Houston 1981.

[darkcreed18]

@suemarnamosdp Relax, son performance, no digo que sean los mejores vocalistas, para mi el mejor vocalista de todos los tiempos fue Jeff Buckley...es mi gusto, pero traté de poner estos performance en orden de reelevancia e importancia, también por la carrera que han seguido, salvo excepción de Myles Kennedy.

[sergiof193]

@suemarnamosdp eres tonto o simplemente tus padres son hermanos¿?

[suemarnamosdp]

@sergiof193 Jjajjaja, respuesta sin criterio solamente ofensiva, a esto llega el fanatismo excesivo por un artista y no te deja ver la realidad de las cosas. Por favor la proxima vez que contestes que tu respuesta tenga logica. Apuesto que Conoces a Mercury pero no conoces hasta antes de mi respuesta a estos grandes cantantes como David Byron, Steve Perry y Lou Gramm.

[sergiof193]

@suemarnamosdp lo primero, conozco a esos cantantes y probablemente mejor que tu, segundo en este video(te lo esplico porque veo que no tienes ni puta idea de ingles), se hace un top 10 de las mejores actuaciones de vocalistas, no de bandas y tercero yo no digo que queen tenga que ser tu banda favorita ni freddie tu dios, para gustos colores..., solo me parece indignante que menosprecias al que es considerados por muchos uno (sino el mejor) cantante de rock

[suemarnamosdp]

@sergiof193 Para cualquiera que se inicia (no digo seas tu) en este nuevo mundo llamado musica Rock el priemer cantante que te van a recomendar a oir es Freddie Mercury pero se deja de lado a otros varios muchos y posiblemente mejores cantantes que el.

[barakagun]

@suemarnamosdp Pero son "performances", no habla de quien canta mejor, para mi hay muchos que cantan mejor que él, pero Freddie tenía algo que algunos no: Dominio del escenario, podía manejar a la multitud, en fin, EL MEJOR

[darkcreed18]

@barakagun Al fin!!, Al fin alguien entiende el video!!! jajaja, Mejores Performance!!, en ESTUDIO!; no he puesto nada en vivo, no quiero decir que el orden que pongo es el orden de los mejores vocalistas...para mi, Myles Kennedy es mucho mejor que Eddie Vedder y Jeff Buckley mejor que Ian Gillan...gustos son gustos, pero esto son perfomance y traté de acomodarlos según su importancia en la historia del Rock.

[BiTcHknifer]

Kurt Cobain? The MTV's Unplugged thing was one of the best performances ever. If you don't believe me, just listen to Where Did You Sleep Last Night.

[MyGuideFor4you]

Led zepplin is the best your all retards if you don't thinks soo.

[FreeFlores]

@MyGuideFor4you not in vocal quality

[MyGuideFor4you]

Where the fuck is jimi hendrix.

[TommyParkerJr]

Freddie is the best, but if i have to make a choise for this ten songs, then myles wins

[Spedly]

Where are Daniel Johns, Dallas Green, Layne Staley, Ian Thornley, John Fogerty, Maynard James Keenan? Some of the best rock singers of all time

[ZGippe40GK]

Cornell is best

[anaviktoria23]

Freddie is the best!!!

[Jideament]

Robert and Ian;the mouths of God.

[rubshop30]

Freddie all the way!

[JonhnyGrave108]

proud to know and love them all. great list <3

ofc i have my own favorite but it's all good ;P

[ThatOneMusicGuy789]

Where is Paul McCartney on this list?

He's one of the best vocalists of the 60's and 70's!

You're also missing Bruce Dickinson, and he's an amazing singer.

This is totally wrong.

[marinaamber]

Hi from NZ. loved your choices. thanks.

[graedot]

I am so not a Roger Daltry fan - skip Daltry - add Paul Rodgers or James Dio. IMO anywho....

[MegaGoodoldtimes]

Freddie is the best

[huytk1]

@MegaGoodoldtimes : Freddie is always the best . Top of the tops.

[radiocommander]

Where can we find Justin Bieber in your ranking? ;-P

[addicted2johnnydepp]

I agree with QUEEN<3

[TheCricketphoenix]

NFI!...Only Roger Daltrey would make my top ten!

Freddie did none of the great vocals in Bohemian Rhapsody..that was the rest of the band!

Need to look at Boston, Heart and other great bands of the era..even Cultural cringe bands like REO Speedwagon!

[Lbmagicman1993]

@TheCricketphoenix Freddie pretty much did all the vocals to BoRhap. The beginning of the song, that was all Freddie, his voice was just overdubbed. But that was all Freddie, he sung the main parts, and the opera part was HIM and Brian May and Roger Taylor.

[Robertosky86]

sin duda Freddie mercury es el que tiene el mejor registro vocal y uno de los mejores vocalistas del rock por algo es una leyenda y el rey...del rock

[SuperEvandrojr]

Cade o Axl Rose ? Affee

[zakuragex]

queen of the reich?

[TheRattleSnake93]

Somebody got it right, cheers mate, Gillan ROCKS!

[elduderino292]

Where's RINGO?!?!?!?!?!

[Garciantenho]

maybe i'm amazed that paul mccartney isn't in this list

[pyrotoublo]

At last, a singers' top ten with Roger Daltrey in "Love Reign O'er Me"! Thank you, I thought I was deaf!

[MrJsloan666]

WHOA WHERES BRAD DELP!?!?!?!?!?

[tonyinmiami99]

@MrJsloan666

no shit; Boston unfortunately never did get as BIG as they were; and Brad...wow what Vocals. I think that ultimately lead to his suicide...the Press SUCKS !!! "THEY" killed Brad...:(

[Rocker9514]

@tonyinmiami99 not just the press but i think tom scholz constant perfectionism also led to it

[19KrIzPiN68]

hey bro what's spanish for i'm a troll and i hate your list! LOL (",) o yeah where's the most honest voice in the world, may it be live or studio he sounds the same, AIC Layne Staley

[aassyr1111]

WHERE THE FUCK IS ICS VORTEX ????

[bajsmannensparty]

[luthioncam]

Bruce dickinson???

[TitusM1992]

where fuck is rob halford, bruce dickinson ozzy osbourne ????

[fleskip]

@TitusM1992 Lol. Ozzy sucks at singing, he's just awesome =p

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@fleskip Ozzy does have his share of good vocal performances too, try "Killer of Giants" or the demo version of "Mama, I'm Coming Home".

[raenessq]

this was a pretty amazing setlist, except..... you are missing someone. Where is Axel Rose?!?!?! Anyway, i love how you put Janis Joplin! Hail to the women! and Freddie Mercury is like my idol, so thank you.

[ZiyadAlvi]

Where the fuck is MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN..!!! And MIKE PATTON..!!!!

[darkcreed18]

[rawkgawdez]

[yassero123]

[Vencermos]

Dio best rock singer

[RandleMcMurphy1]

Mama Mia Let me go.

Freddie Mercury is the man.

[TheRealMusic78]

Yess!!! You ACTUALLY PUT JEFF ON THE LIST! Although I can't say he's better then freddie. It's just not possible

[Faberliam]

6.11 only God, only God.

[Bunecon]

Chris Cornell sounds great, but in the song "Reach Down" he sounds better!

[BluesMarcin]

WHERE IS NIEMEN?????

[TheNiko6456]

sebastian bach - i remember you (skid row) o 18 and life, o algun que otro tema de aerosmith, steven no se queda atras...

[4345ghee]

chris fucking cornell. period.

[woodoo003]

PHİL ANSELMO ?!!

[benzogus1]

Lots of guys missing.. And Robert Planto should b e the first!

[furkanasena]

rob halford, steven tyler, bon scott, bruce dickinson, ozzy, axl, mick jagger ????

[SixStringSolid]

@furkanasena seriously dude?? i'll give you steven tyler but the others cant sing for shit. they just have good voices for rock

[benzogus1]

@SixStringSolid Are you saying Robert Plant can't sing?? wtf???? haha He has awesome voice for rock, and CAN sing

[SixStringSolid]

@benzogus1 didnt make the connection there lol yeah plant can wail. led zeppelin was my favorite band for the longest time

[callum89hamilton]

[sensiskin]

Avete dimenticato...

Jon Anderson (YES)

Steve Wonder

Roy Orbison

[nat00ben06]

Jeff Buckley no where to be found on this list? Yeah a joke from the get-go!

[1985rick46]

probably it's not worth for a top ten....but also Ville Valo from HIM has a great voice.

[CaioJhonson]

You've forgot Layne Staley...

[liontasouou]

nice

[KaraokeClassics]

feddie hahahahahahaha

[kuyadoug]

My three favorite rock vocalist are 1) Freddy Mercury "Queen" 2) Steve Perry "Journey" 3) Mick Hucknull "Simply Red."

[jeancojon96]

Rodger Daltrey in Gotta dance just to keep from cryin' live in Royal Albert Hall ( when The Who were named The High Number ) , 18 and life - Sebastian Bach ; Love Hurts - Nazareth . ;)

[2ubtrue]

1)Rodger Daultry, 2)Steve Perry, 3)Paul Rodgers,  4)Freddy Mercury, 5)Steven Tyler, 6)Ann Wilson, 7)Bruce Springsteen, 8)Stevie Nicks, 9)Chris Cornell, 10)Pat Benatar.......................­.........IMOO

[rkj1963]

@2ubtrue

Agree to some extent, but what the hell is Bruce Springsteen doing here ? He has nothing to do in a list with these talented singers

Very g
