Best vocalist in a band *game*

[tourists24]

Being concert season now, Id like to start a new thread with a twist. I am going to put my opinion on who I think may be the best band vocalist of all time. On each response, put who you think is better. Hopefully this thread will be full of awesome singers:::

My pick

Freddie Mercury

Jon Bon Jovi -

 

[DS]

Nothing to look at here,just great vocals,if you have never heard it before,wait till about halfway through,noboby screams like Ian Gillan being Jesus Christ.

 

[ajblakejr]

Ian Gillan / Deep Purple and Black Sabbath

Wow. Powerful voice.

 

[moreluck]

DS...that guy can really belt it out !!!

For female: Annie Haslem, former singer of 70's progressive/art rock band Renaissance

For male: back to the 70's and a very young Peter Gabriel that got it all started

A side note. Yes, the drummer is Phil Collins with hair!

Also watch Steve Hackett on guitar (Black Les Paul) and you'll see 2 hand tapping several years before Eddie Van Halen made the technique famous. Steve was the first to use the technique in recording and Eddie once told Steve seeing him in an early 70's Genesis concert was what influenced him to tapping.

 

[Sammie]

Joe Cocker, who else!
