Your only excuse might be that it's way too limiting to classify Queen as "rock" because they did such a wide range of music. Great call on Robert Plant. Even though Led Zeppelin's best stuff was really rock/blues. Steve Perry- not really rock. I'd put Journey in the "pop" category. And, while "Dream On" is one of the top 10 best rock songs of all times, I wouldn't put Steven Tyler up there based on that one song. Glad you put Ann Wilson up there. I love Heart.

Definitely one of my favorite acts of the 80s. I gave Daltry an honorable mention in the comments to my post. Cornell and Weiland are basically the same to me, both good, just not as good as the ten I listed. And I could never stand Queenryche; you might as well have suggested Gary Cherone or the Nelson twins. :-P Good call on Pat Benetar. Definitely one of my favorite acts of the 80s.

I'm glad to see we agreed on them : ) Props on adding the female vocalists in there. I felt kind of sexists no putting any on my lists but I really don't listen to any female fronted bands, bust instead just like a few songs from them (like Benatar, Crow & Shirley Manson). Unfortunatley most of the female vocalists I'm used to hearing are in Pop music. I struggled with whether I should put Robert Plant on the lists but ultimately his voice is just too high for me. But Since I've Been Loving You really made that a hard decision for me.
