Sort by: Showing 10 items

Rating: List Type:

Love Kills (Single) - Freddie Mercury

Has there ever been or will there ever be a better rock vocalist than Freddie, the lead vocalist of Queen? The answer is no.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

6.7

Best - DAVID LEE ROTH

David Lee Roth, the only Van Halen front man worth mentioning, and the second greatest rock & roll vocalist ever.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

8.2

Best of Motorhead - Motorhead

LEMMY! Once he sings a song, you know it's been sung.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

7.1

Rush - Rush_II

Even people who aren't into prog rock acknowledge Geddy Lee's soaring vocal chops. And you know you air drum to "Tom Sawyer" every time you hear it.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

Billy Joel Greatest Hits: Vol. 1-2 (2CD)

7.7

Billy Joel Greatest Hits: Vol. 1-2 (2CD) - Billy Joel

Bringing an air of honesty to rock & roll, Billy's voice helped to define a generation of white guys raised on R&B and soul.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

7.9

Paul Stanley - Paul Stanley_II

Four decades on, and the lead singer of KISS can still kill it live. Say what you want about the band, you can't deny the man.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

8.1

Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley

It's Elvis. 'Nuff said.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

8.3

Here's Little Richard - Little Richard

And speaking of Elvis, he wouldn't have existed without Little Richard, the man who invented rock & roll. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

Geoff Tate - Geoff Tate

Another soaring prog rock god, the lead singer of Queensryche has always been one of the most powerful vocalists in music. And if you haven't heard their cover of "Scarborough Fair," go look it up on YouTube. I'll wait.

8.1

Ramones - Ramones

Joey Ramone's instantly recognizable voice changed the game, and helped invent punk rock.

Fnord Prefect's rating:

Well, my Top 10 ever anyway. You, of course, are entitled to your opinion. :)

The first question I'll get is "What, no Robert Plant?" And my answer will be "No," because he couldn't replicate that studio sound live, as anyone who ever watched "The Song Remains the Same" can testify to.
