    Jeez, what a hard question to answer. You have to factor in the kind of music to pick a favorite singer; i.e. while guys like Sting and David Bowie have great voices, they sure wouldn't be 'great' in fronting a particular band like Pantera or Black Sabbath.

    Some of my favorite vocalists for their particular brand of Rock 'n Roll:

    Ozzy Osbourne, solo and Black Sabbath
    James Hetfield, Metallica
    Phil Anselmo, Pantera
    Axel Rose
    Vince Neil, Motley Crue
    Jimi Hendrix
    Stevie Ray Vaughn
    The singer from Queensryche
    The singer from Dream Theatre
    Phil Collins
    Sting
    Billy Gibbons and Dusty, ZZ Top
    Bon Scott and Bryan Johnson, AC/DC

    .....and the list goes on and on. Those listed are my personal favs.

    Well I don't know if you could say this band is "rock" or not, but I'm going to mention him anyway because he was a great singer that died way too early...

    I was going to start a thread just like this last night crispee, then I saw yours. Weird...

    Geoff Tate.

    Showmanship is a huge component in being a rock frontman. Huge. Second but almost as important for me is voice and range. I will throw in songwriting talent in there as well. I can think of 9 that stand out to me, and a bunch of others who I also enjoy. Of course these are just my own personal favorites.

    1) Butch Walker
    2) David Lee Roth
    3) Freddie Mercury
    4) Glen Danzig
    5) Sebastian Bach
    6) Ian Astbury
    7) Paul Stanley
    8) Alice Cooper
    9) Robin Zander

    Geoff Tate
    Bruce Dickinson
    Rob Halford
    Donnie Vie
    Axl Rose
    Vince Neil
    Bret Michaels
    Steven Tyler
    Bon Scott
    Brian Johnson
    Ozzy Osbourne
    Todd Lewis
    Billy Idol
    Robert Plant
    Dave Mustaine
    Ted Nugent
    Klaus Meine
    Peter Steele
    Jeff Keith
    Sammy Hagar
    John Bush
    Mick Jagger
    Phil Lynott
    Jim Morrison
    Marc Bolan
    David Bowie
    Gene Simmons

    <b>Nomar</b>: Honestly, I have heard of Dave Matthews but I couldn't name or recognize any of his music. Just a name to me. The others literally sailed right over my head. I may have heard them because I've given my 16 YO daughter the power of the tuner when we are riding in the car together. How unhip of me....

    I suspect you've heard Gordon Sumner (aka Sting).

    Dave Matthews?????:( :confused: :(

    That guy is a good singer/songwriter type, but does he really have a "great voice"??

    When I think of great rock singers, I immediately think of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Bland, Robert Plant, Elton John, Roy Orbison, Don Henley, and then 800 more before the name Dave Matthews pops up on the list.

    btw, Rock and Roll was invented by black Americans, so don't forget the many great black vocalists that made rock and roll what it is today.
