I definately have to agree with you on Freddie Mercury..but it's definately a taste prefererence..subjective thing:) Love his voice sooooo much! Prince too:)
Brian Johnson does not sing... it's talking with attitude, and Steve Perry at #9??? That's a damn crime... Now go listen to something other than "Don't Stop Believin" and rethink his position.
fuck.!!! why the hell is brian johnson better than axl rose..!?? axl is the best.! brian sounds like a pussy.. but i respect your opinion sir.. classic rock rocks.!
@BrodeFinePortraiture I agree; it's cool to include John Denver. His voice was amazing. Esp if ppl consider screaming as 'singing,' then why not go to the other extreme & cite guys w/ Real voices?
Freddie is my #1 pick.....gorgeous voice w/ 4 octaves.....I mean, who can compare?
John Denver at #2. Josh Groban, #3. Al Stewart. #4. Jeff Buckley, #5. Paul Rodgers, #6. Roger Taylor, #7. Brian May, #8. Roger McGuinn, #9. Robert Smith, #10.
And there are even BETTER singers than Josh Groban! Jose Diego Florez, Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Ronaldo Villazon, Jussi Bjorling, Andrea Bocelli, and so forth.
Are you kidding me?? JOSH GROBAN by himself is a million times better than all of these singers! These guys sound like trash compared to Josh's beautiful voice! I think you meant to say top 10 male ROCK singers. Otherwise, NONE of these guys are even close to being the top 10 male singers.
@zucchini2007.....I agree w/ you, for the most part, but take exception that Freddie Mercury, w/ his gorgeous 4 octave range, is the absolute best. But, you're right, Josh does have a really beautiful voice too, and way better than ev except for Freddie....for me. (Not sure if screaming is equivalent somehow to 'goodness' in rock, but it seems to trump range, timbre, etc., lol)
Actually it should be the top 10 rock singers:). In the world there are many more music genres that have much better singers than those which are presented here.
seems like you can find good music & top singers just only in the past of rock (or music). It's NOT like this! Try Andrew Mailloux, Maynard James Keenan, Trent Reznor, Mikael Åkerfeldt
Michael Jackson wasn't a great singer, please, he was a legend, but Freddie killed him in vocals, and steve perry, steven tyler, marvin gaye, barry white etc...
@etxhioVEVO freddie mercury is not the best only because he never does mistakes or whatever, he cannot sing so many different styles, Steven taylor though is very good
@NeoAhiTtlZerI8120118 WHAT? Freddie Mercury cannot sing so many different styles? Are you crazy? Have you bothered to take a listen to Queen's or Freddie's music? That's definitely a poor excuse. Freddie sang everything, from opera to funk!
Based on what you made this rank? If you're using vocal technique to compare them, your rank is just wrong. I just can't understand how a gifted singer like Layne Staley is behind the monochromatic Bruce Dickinson and Rob Halford, I mean do you know anything about vocal techinique? Cuz' Alto-Range is just ONE in a hundred voice techniques, and it's not the hardest one. I totally agree with #1 Fred Mercury, but your evaluation is not even trustable.
Prince should not have ever made the list. He is all falsetto nothing real about his voice. Steve Perry should be #1....the man has a natural voice full of power.
yep - Freddie = 1. Steve Perry should be higher. Do you honestly think Axl Rose is a GOOD singer? I think he's a unique voice but not good - sort of like fingers on chalk boards can make interesting noises.
Also - good inclusion of Bruce Dickinson. That guy had some seriously good pipes.
@akobudebice Freddie's voice adapts to any musical genre you know. If he was the lead singer of a heavy metal band he would just as fine as he always did. He is, with no doubt at all, the best singer ever and 'till know I can´t think of anyone that can reach half the quality of his voice. Think about it
I think it's sad that Freddie Mercury isn't as remembered as he should be, especially around teenagers. I'm 16, and before I discovered Queen and Freddie, I had heard the name 'Freddie Mercury', but had no idea who he was! Now I know he was a great, loving, caring and awesome man who truly deserves that 1st place!
Well I love both Mj and Freddie!The same! But to be honest Freddie deserves to be 1st,he had the best voice ever! He could reach the highest notes! No one else could do that! MJ had an amazing voice but he became famous not so much because of his voice but of his wonderful songs,while Freddie was famous because of everything.MJ should be at number 2 comparing to his voice,not his songs. ;)
Well, as most of the singers listed are from one genre, it can be expected that no intellectual analysis was incorporated for the formation of this list. Without a doubt, Elvis Presley is #1. Sinatra should be in the top 3, and Bobby Darin should be somewhere in the top 5.
MJ is not a good vocalist, sorry, but I love Freddie soooo damn much. Everyone should check out a Freddie tribute guy named Gary Mullen, he rocks! Plus what about Boston's singer?!
