2) Adam Gontier (3 Days Grace)
3) Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters)
4) James H. (Metallica)
5) Axle Rose (GnR)

I don't care how many of you make fun of me. Jon Bon Jovi has gotta be in there somewherez.
Also, Bon Scott, the original guy for AC/DC.

Not sure about an order, and this is all off the top of my head and I'm sure I'll miss someone awesome, but:
Freddie Mercury
Robert Plant
Cedric Bixler-Zavala (pre-2011)
Thom Yorke
Dave Grohl (not a big Foos fan, but dammit I respect this man, from Nirvana - who I truly believe are the most overrated band of all time - to Queens of the Stone Age, etc.)
Don't get it twisted though, AIC is one of my favorite bands ever, don't think I'd put Layne Staley (RIP) on this list though.

C'mon OCHO, listen to AIC's "love hate love", "don't follow" and "man in the box". To be able to go from a low register to a high register and yarl while at full octave is something i've heard no vocalist do. Stapp, Vetter and Cornell can't do this. Much agreed, RIP Layne. Also I agree on your Grohl thoughts. Probably the best multi-talented band member. Did you know he was the devil in Tenacious D?

I'm surprised nobody has said Ian Astberry or the singer from "the Who".

SHIT, I totally forgot Steven Tyler. No joke, probably my all-time favorite. Can't talk about him much anymore though, everyone just thinks I love American Idol.

Yeah but Grohl really belongs there. Atleast nobody said Chad Kroger.....
It's amazing when people say "Staley", who's the next name usually in the same conversation?.?.? Cobain.
Anyone like AIC's new singer?

I like him. I actually think he sounds a lot like Staley at times, maybe that's just me though.

Agree on Tyler. True legend and a class act. I totally forgot about him by mistake even though I have all their hits on my computer.

I don't know if I could narrow it down right now. Hard to argue with most of the names ITT.
A couple of ones to come to mind that haven't been brought up:
Maynard (never mind I see Veritas is on it)
Eric Burdon (a personal favorite, I don't think he gets enough recognition)
Chad Allan
Deserve got nothing to do with it...

I do like Tool and APC, but I really don't find Maynard's vocals all that special. His songwriting, on the other hand...
