1. Paul McCartney

2. Robert Plant
3. Steven Tyler
4. Bruce Dickinson
5. Don Dokken

Note: I've stuck with the philosophy of "favourite singers" rather than "most talented singers" (not that Roy and Freddie and Paul and Elvis aren't talented). I don't really like Metal singing that much (when compared to rock singing) so I've left the metal singers out.

 

[Groovy Man]

But, here's my list....

No reasoning to my order, really...it just looks nice this way, I guess...

3. Roger Daltrey
4. Robert Plant
5. Paul McCartney
6. Ronnie Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
7. Paul Rodgers
8. Steven Tyler
9. Jim Morrison
10. Bob Dylan (Ha-ha...monkey wrench vote!)

12. Janis Joplin
13. Rod Stewart (60's, 70's)
