OK, sittin' here chillin' on Friday night with some good booze and surfing through youtube being nosatalgic and listening to some of the songs of my youth and got to thinking about who the great singers in rock bands were . Please don't post without links. I nominate Mr. Burton Cummings as one of the greats: web page

I think Freddie Mercury would be way up on the list. Somebody to Love was my pick too. Wow! Cyndi Lauper 3 registers 4 octaves was no slouch. Im Gonna Be Strong]Agnetha sang like an angel, Abba sold about a zillion with her. Wow could she sing

Freddy Mercury and Robert Plant. As for women I always loved Linda Ronstadt.
While they were tremendous showmen I just never thought much of the vocal skills of Mick Jagger or Jim Morrison.

One of my all time favorites ... I didn't see mentioned here. Paul Rodgers (the "voice" as he was called) - Free and afterwards Bad Company. See his famous "twirling" of the microphone stand at 1:18. Paul Rodgers - Be my friend. (Song by Free)
