Kurt Cobain.
Good initial shout with Danny Bowes - probably one of the most underrated voices ever.
Usual list for me:
Danny Bowes
Freddie
Paul Rodgers
Steve Tyler (not a brilliant voice, but gives it 110% live)
Scott Weiland
Seal (bending the definition of rock voices a bit there)
Tim Booth
No Rob Halford yet...?

kurt cobain (RIP)
there have been some ruddy good suggestions so far, but I simply *cannot* believe that Maynard James Keenan hasn't had a mention?!
I mean seriously, wtf? 😛
Freddie for sure.
Mick Jagger wins for me but the best vocalist, most unique and most recognisable singer ever just has to be Brian Johnson.
But Johnny deserves an honorable mention for this song too.
