Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists

My 6 year old daughter posed this question. I thought it was great. She also said that she knew her favorites were not the best. Here are my choices, which are not necessarily my favorites:

No particular order:

Robert Plant
Freddie Mercury
Axl Rose
Janis Joplin
Paul Rodgers

1-Mike Matijevic
2-Ian Gillan
3-Geoff Tate
4-Steve Perry
5-Tony Harnell
I could have easily put a dozen other vocalists in the 5th spot, but decided on the least known.

not for nothing,if you don't have freddy mercury in your top ten,you're in dire need of an auditory/grey matter exam.

not my favorite band but Robert Plant vocals just screams rock and roll
a very close second(and NO ONE has listed him?) Joe Strummer
John Lennon does a few nice turns
Chrisse Hynes / Patti Smith

I would pick two "traditional rock" singers:
Robert Plant and Roger Daltry.

Add two more mellow "acoustic rock" singers:
Steve Winwood (very unique tone of voice that I really like) and David Crosby.

And close out the list with Eddie Veder

Jesus, how did I forget Ian Gillan?

No pun intended....

I'd place him as my #3 favorite rock vocalist, at least back in his early 70's Deep Purple and Jesus Christ Superstar prime.
