[Music Wench]

Too many to narrow it down to one for me. I'll go with my top 5 in no particular order:

Robert Plant
Mick Jagger
Roger Daltrey
Bono
Ian Gillan

 

[Psychedelic Syd]

Close battle between Jim Morrison and Robert Plant in my book...


-

 

[Shaggy]

Mercury and Plant for me.

 

[AboutAGirl]

Jim Morrison, teh Kurdt, Robert Plant, Tom Petty & Neil Young.

 

[Wolf]

John Kay/Steppenwolf - Tall, black leather, shades and a look like he's going to kick the sh*t out of the front three rows. Great voice, intelligent lyrics with a growl second to none and all the right songs to go with it. No jumping all around the stage for this guy he just belts them out.

 

[Fug]

Without question, Ian Anderson.
