[ComicChick]

Freddie or Chris Cornell. They're two of my faves.

female voice, Pat Benatar or Ann Wilson from Heart

 

[X-Ray]

Chris Cornell.

"He's (Chris Cornell) got the ****in' most beautiful voice in rock n roll man" - Chester Bennington

Almost forgot. I've always dug John Fogerty's voice. Especially during the CCR days.

 

[Mr.Webs]

Freddie Mercury - From insane falsetto to an almost garish roughness, Mercury helped Queen stand out above the rest.

Eric Burdon - Maybe the best blues man to ever set foot on stage. No one can beat him in that...more soul in a fingertip than a full Christian boy's choir.

Jack White - His pipes are not golden, but the pure raw basis of those vocal chords perfectly fit his guitar style.

John Lennon - Powerful. Gritty. Strong. Weak. Sad. Sorrowful. Hopeful. Lennon may have been the best rock and roll singer of all time. Every box is checked.

 

[Motown Marvel]
