^ great list, you forgot Rodger Daltrey, Ozzy, Dio and Halford, but good list none the less.

[tydhurst]

That was a Bad list. You included Scott Weiland in your top 10.

TOP TEN for me (Remember, my opinion usualy counts less than most)

1- David Lee Roth
2- Robert Plant
3- Steven Tyler
4- Freddie Mercury
5- Kurt Cobain
6- Jim Morrison
7- Roger Daltrey
8- Joey Ramone
9- Howlin' Pelle Almqvist
10- Jasper Carrott

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Here's mine, as long as stage presence is concerned:

2. Elvis (... King)
3. Mick Jagger (stage prince)
4. Iggy Pop (stage lunanimal)
5. Pete Townshend (yeah! stage roo)
6. Jimi Hendrix (feels strange to put him in 6th place: stage pharaoh)
7. Peter Wolf (in good old time J. Geils Band: stage blaster)
8. Steven Tyler (stage WAdaDAdaDAAAAAAW!!)
9. Freddie Mercury (stage queen)
10. Lee Brilleaux (stage tenant)

I'll send another, as I think I've just got it's about singers in bands.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

So here we go again:

2. Mick Jagger (stage host prince, recordman)
3. Iggy Pop (stage insane)
4. Peter Wolf (in good old J. Geils band days, stage explosive)
5 .Robert Plant (stage emperor)
6. Bon Scott (stage wizard)
7. Steven Tyler (stage WAdaDAdaDAAAAAAW)
8. Freddie Mercury (stage princess... arf! arf!)
9. Lee Brilleaux (Dr Feelgood, stageaholic)
10. Roy Looney (Flaming Groovies, stage mad man).

I'm still searching for number one. Anybody got an idea?:D

[Vanstonica]

WARF....Chris Cornell and Scott Weiland in the top 5? Both of them have great voices, but I wouldn't even have those two in my top 20.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Bono yet. Love him or hate him, the guy knows how to work audience.

[WARF]

OKay i'll do a complete top 20!

No order...

1 - Ozzy Osbourne
2 - Ronnie James Dio
3 - Rob Halford

10 - David Lee Roth

I guess some people are STILL taken with that fucking mullet.

[Golden AWe]

yesss...this is how I would rate them "historically"

Elvis
Mercury
DLR
Morrison
Plant

Ozzy
Daltrey
Scott
Jagger

...plus Johnny Cash!

personally, if I think of my favorites and influences throughout the years Jagger and Scott have never been that big to me...I'd probably replace them with Staley and Cornell. Btw, no one has mentioned Phil Lynott yet?
