Joan Baez.....

Well, maybe not classic rock but definitely classic. Her voice is astonishing. I've seen her in concert a few times. Did you see how beautiful she looked on the Grammys?

Joan Baez and Bob Dylan
​

By the way, I don't think anyone has mentioned Bob Dylan.​

Ok... since many of you have listed female singers too (even though I was asking about male voices hehe), let's also pick the top female classic rock voices:

Here are mine:

1. Tina Turner
2. Pat Benatar
3. Janis Joplin
4. Stevie Nicks
5. Annie Lennox

 

[Jeimuzu]

Definitely Tina Turner in there... who else? Hard to say... Kate Bush? Hehe...

Erm, sod the classic bit, and I'll go for:

Tarja Turunen(ex-Nightwish)

Sharon Den Adel(Within Temptation)

Kim Waterson (Miss Conduct[She's a local vocalist, but her voice blows me away. Check out her band, if you wanna find out what they're like])

Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy [Yep, I really did just put her in for best singer])

Bec Moran (Solo [A friend of mine, but again, very talented. If you wanna hear her stuff, well, tough. Unless you PM me asking, because I have some, but there's nothing on the internet])

[RACERX71]

Wow so many ! but i would say
1- Brad Delp .. amazing voice and he could pull it off live too
2- Steven Tyler .. really amazing
3-Freddie Mercury ... by far one of the most talented and impossible to mimic
4-Joe lynn Turner- most of u guys probable never herd of him
5-Pat Benatar- she really had a great voice

I love Joe. His work with Ritchie Blackmore is almost perfect. Bent Out Of Shape is one of the best albums ever. And his solo career is also great. His undercover albums are simply amazing.

I love Freddie and Steven also...

I have to agree... Rod has one of the best and most unique rock voices around. Too bad about that American Songbook thing though... hehe
