It’s pretty much Chris C But in the spirit of the thread I’ll name a guy that I don’t even like his band:

Steven Tyler

Dude’s voice is undeniable and would sound amazing in just about any era of rock

Paul Rodgers. Also, a guy who doesn't get enough credit.. not a "technically" great voice I suppose, but so great at phrasing and nuance, David Gilmour.
Edit to throw John Fogerty in the mix. He could rockout any song.

Canadian soul is very good, and I’m a redneck.

Paul Rogers was pretty damned good.

He's definitely my choice as well. As much as I love Led Zeppelin, and Robert Plant was an incredible front man...I sometimes wonder how that band would have sounded with Rogers at the microphone.

Probably Rod Stewart, no one else like that and too difficult to emulate.

It’s Layne Staley for me. Hate that I never got to see them live.


One of my biggest regrets as well.

But I think Chris Cornell for me, like the first response to your question.

I did see Soundgarden live (in the PMAC), they opened for GNR when touring for Badmotorfinger. Even though the sound for them was crappy, I was blown away.

ETA: Did not think of female vocalist until I saw another post with Ann Wilson. She had an amazing voice. I would also add that I love Chrissie Hynde's voice as well. Just that sexy sultry voice. It's not that it's great or has the range and power of Ann Wilson, just that it drips that sexiness to me. Man that sounds creepy doesn't it

Listen to The Firm and you'll be pretty close.

Classic voice is close between Delp and Mercury.

Modern voice is close between Cornell and Staley.
