Nick and Bryan have posted a list and so shall I. Only in the order I thought of ‘em.

Chris Cornell - No one can blend falsetto and head voice this way and still sound like a man.

Tom Johnston - More soul than Michael MacDonald and a better song-writer at that.

Ann Wilson - Apparently estrogen has no place in the other lists. I watched Fergie try to pull off “Barricuda”. Not bad, but not a Wilson sister either, which means not all that great. Then there’s what Ann does in a song like “Crazy on You”.

Robert Plant - Even with Alison Krauss he is fantastic.

Cheryl Crow - Ask any woman with American Idol chops to pull of “If It Makes You Happy”. You won’t find too many of ‘em I tell ya.

Roger Daltrey - Not “Daughtry” not even close.

Scott Weiland - Yes he’s a coke head and his movements on stage just copy Steve Tyler and Mick Jagger. But his tone on the song “Atlanta” is fantastic and he shows off his melodic range.

Doug Pinnick - Haven’t heard of him have you? From King’s X and Poundhound. One phrase. Soul that hurts.

Geoff Tate - Queensryche was always on the edge of cheesy, but this boy had serious chops that any hairband dude could not really approach.

Corey Glover - Living Colour needed to make at least two more albums after Stain. That is still a bummer of a band break up for music fans.

* Extra props go to Freddie Mercury (I still don’t like Queen all that much), Bruce Dickinson (One reason many cover bands can’t cover Maiden songs), Pat Benetar (Does she have good pipes), Janis Joplin (For changing the role of the woman in music), Dennis DeYoung (see Queen), Ronnie James Dio (Messed with Black Sabbath, but also created a lot of pretenders probably in a bad way), Steve Perry (Those solo albums were a mistake dude, but I still love you on Escape), Steven Tyler (”Dream On” is still amazing and reveals the effects of a hard rock ‘n roll lifestyle on the voice).
