10 Greatest Rock & Roll Frontmen Ever
Posted by wilderwriter on March 27, 200913 – Steven Perry – Journey is underrated in my opinion. Because they were pop-rock most of the R&R mainstream snubbed them for being ‘girly’. They can say what they want but Perry’s amazing vocal range is undeniable.
12 – Bret Michaels – not a fan of Poison and after watching one of his ‘reality’ shows where he proves he’s a sexiest child (Hey Bret – women are more than their bust size) – you can’t deny his vocal range. That gruff, sexy voice is pretty damned hot.
11 – Ronnie James Dio – Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio – When it comes to the classic heavy metal voice – this man is it. Don’t believe me? Go find a copy of his 1983 (Dio) Holy Diver and listen to Rainbow in the Dark – nuff said.
10 – Ozzy Osbourne – Black Sabbath wasn’t the same without him.
9 – Axl Rose – Okay, he is a self-centered egotistical butt-wipe, but his voice was memorable. But JC, he’s not dead… No he isn’t but he might as well be. Chinese Democracy? Puhleeze…
8 – Tom Petty – I’m a huge fan of Petty even though he sounds like three miles of bad road. He’s also a brilliant songwriter.
7 – Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) – excellent voice and amazing stage presence.
6 – James Hetfield – Metallica, what more can I say?
5 – Elvis Presley – I’m not an Elvis fan but you can’t deny his vocal talents. Overlook the rock and roll he did and take a listen to the gospel songs. Utterly fabulous.
4 – Steven Tyler – That man is STILL hot and his vocal range is impressive. Any man who can hit those notes and not have to cut off his balls to achieve it – he’s aces in my book.
3 – Robert Plant – Led Zeppelin need I say more? Stairway to Heaven wouldn’t be the same without his voice.
2 – Rob Zombie – The voice is meh…but his stage presence is worth the cost of a ticket.
1 – Chad Kroeger (Nickleback) – Probably one of the best voices out there today.
Who else should be on (or off) the list?
