Default Greatest rock singer of all time

Who do you think is the greatest rock singer of all time?

For me it has to be Bon Scott of AC/DC. He was in the band from 1974-1980. He died tragicly died February 19, 1980 at age 33 from drinking all night. He could belt out Riff Raff, then sing Live Wire so softly

Layne Staley

Vocals for Alice In Chains
Mad Season
Class of '99

Absolutely the best singer EVER!!! From the screams of Man In The Box to the soft spoken voice he used in Wake Up from Mad Season's only album in 1995...he showed he has the MOST powerful voice EVER!

Gone but NEVER forgotten!

Died April 5, 2002 of apparent drug overdose (Heroin and Coke speedball) he was 34.

Honestly it's probably Freddy Mercury or Levon Helm.

Matt Barlow and Halford are personal favorites of mine, but if I have to limit it to rock...

Mark Lanegan and Steven Wilson.

Greatest rock singer of all time. Thom Yorke need not apply.

I'd say probably Freddie Mercury, as far as range/tonality goes.
That or maybe Meatloaf?

Elton John? I consider him rock.

This is Mike Patton, the singer from Mr. Bungle and Faith No More, among others. He's a very talented and versatile singer.

However, my vote goes to Robert Plant. But, as a Led Zeppelin addict, I'm inherently biased.

My guess is other vocalists would have the greatest difficulty imitating Roy Orbinson.
I think his range (low to high) was supposed to be larger than others could manage.
