I’m not really a rock guy so my picks would probably the standard icons. However, there is this one guy in the deathcore genre (you know, just screams and grunts, no clean ‘allowed’), Will Ramos from the band Lorna Shore. The things he does with his voice are out of this world.
He had a great voice. I was just talking about his voice the other day when I was out with my family and a Boston song came on. Of course, Tom Scholz guitar and organ playing was also excellent. Foreplay/Longtime was a staple of my childhood and everything about that was perfect, IMO.
Freddy Mercury
Brad Delp
Steve Perry
Robert Plant
Ian Anderson (prior to voice issues, circa 1970 and before)
Freddie Mercury
Paul Rodgers
Robert Plant
Steve Wash
Steve Perry
There are a lot more I would include, but they aren’t so well known or didn’t have much output, such as Jeff Buckley.
HONORABLE MENTIONS – not all technically great, but these singers have tremendous character in their voices.
Chris Cornell
Ann WIlson
Steven Tyler
Roger Daultry
Cory Glover
Paul McCartney
John Lennon
