20 BEST Lead Singers Of ALL-TIME

[PEBBLES!]

Jagger>>>>>>>>>>> Bono

I agree with the statement, but not because I don't like Bono or his singing, infact U2 are one of my favourite bands, but because Jagger is just an exceptional singer.


For those interested, here are some of Jagger's finest vocal performances, imo.


















Just a few examples, there are dozens more I can add, but I cbb atm. Go through The Stones 60's & 70's catalogue and you can't really go wrong apart from a couple lazy albums.

Cant think at the moment who else to replace this people: Cornell, Vedder and Cobain.


Is this category all male? If not Janis Joplin should be here.

take vedder out and put in brandon boyd. vedder can't hold a candle to boyd's range.

kurt cobain is a dismal singer compared to some of the ATG


chris cornell probably got there from his work with soundgarden, homie.
the dude can sing a dog off a bone truck. he's had some runs with junk bands recently, though

i really think the doors go overrated because of the death of jim morrison

and john lennon was a loser


but other than that the list is pretty solid

Alright man, thanks for giving me a good chuckle.

I agree with most of your thoughts, man, especially the outro to Where Did You Sleep Last Night?, you can almost hear his vocal cords shredding, he puts his entire soul into the performance, ironically it was probably his most daring and powerful performance, all while sitting down, in stark contrast to the rest of his career where he was in a frenzy during concerts.




Outro: From 3 minutes onwards ^^^




Polly is a sweet performance too - I also liked Pennyroyal Tea.





In regards to Cobain being worthy of a Top 10 spot, sure, I have no problem with that, but conversely, I would have no problem with his omission in place of someone like Bon Scott.

Damn, how can I forget to mention the penney royal tea when its one of my fave to play on acoustic.

Two who would be in my top ten are Deep Purple and Whitesnake's David Cloverdale and Uriah Heep's David Byron (who died from liver failure in 1985).

Thanks for mentioning this. I know their songs but not really familiar with their performances (Ill check them out esp. the Whitesnake)

[S.G.]

I think it's based on the whole package rather than just their vocal ability. Or at least that's how people voted.

To throw some names out there for consideration: Nick Cave, Damo Suzuki, Billy Corgan, Layne Staley, Ozzy Osbourne, Phil Lynott, Neil Young.

Putting John Lennon on the list as one of the greatest lead singers is a JOKE.

He is not in the top 100 for best voice. He copied Bob Dylans voice and as Far as I know, singing wise, hasn't influenced a significant artist since.

Surprised McCartney isn't up there.

So you dont consider Oasis as significant one? Am wasting my time on you.

(I was about to ask you whats your favorite Beatles song, but Im done with you. Your too stupid to say Lennon is a loser)
