Jeez guys! Most of these "singers" are terrible. Paul Rogers is the man of all times. (are you all too young to know?)

OT, is there anyone here who either didn't see Wattie get his ass kicked, or know somebody who kicked his ass while touring here? I think that's why they stopped.

Yes, Chicago 1989, he got rolled by myself and some others for singing "Fuck the USA" after being warned by the promoter not to do it.  That is why they stopped coming here.

While we're talking "Street Punk" how about:

Mickey Fitz ~ The Business
Mensi ~ Angelic Upstarts
Chubby Chris ~ Combat 84
Gary Hodges ~ The 4-Skins
I.S.D. ~ From that band named after something you'd find in a toolbox (NO I ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR HIS POLITICS!)
Kev ~ Condemned 84
Carl Templar ~ The Templars
Mark ~ The Anti-Heros

Mike Ness, "Social Distortion"

Rollins does put on quite a show, too.

My top two favs:

1. Geoff Tate (Queensryche)

2. Geddy Lee (Rush)

[b]DAMMIT YOU RUSH FANS MAKE ME HURL![/b] [puke]

GEDDY LEEEEEEEEEEE!  AAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!  That screeching grate on my ears!  If you like singers that sound like that I suggest Mariah Carey.  At least she's easier on the eyes.

In no particular order:

Johnny Rotten (Pistols, not PiL)
Dio
Bruce Dickinson
Ian Astbury
Mike Ness
Dez Cadena (better than Henry in Black Flag)
Steve Tyler (although better in the old days)
Jello Biafra (earlier rather than later stuff)
Robert Plant was great in the early Zep days, then basically destroyed his voice.
Axl (before he became an even bigger ass than he wound up being)
Chris Cornell

HR -"Bad Brains"

Rob Halford(Judas Priest/Fight/Halford)
Bruce Dickenson(Iron Maiden)
Geoff Tate(Queensryche)
James LaBrie(Dream Theater)
Matt Barlow(Iced Earth from 93-on)
Ronnie James Dio(Dio-Black Sabbath)

Just off the top of my head..
Yup..I am a metal fan...and despite the great number of BAD singers..there are few that are just awesome. In fact, James LaBrie is opera trained..and still takes lessons from a master opera singer.

Stevie Nicks ... best in Gold Dust Woman and Landslide, IMHO

Bob Seger ... another "raspy", but talented voice. Most of all his songs compliment his vocal style.

-Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) for classic rockers.
-Scott Weiland (STP) for modernists.

Oh yeah I forgot Weiland.  Too bad he's an asshole, the guy is a great singer.

HA HA! Man that's funny! A couple of old friends of mine beat him up in Minneapolis on stage. Wattie sure was a fist magnet.


Great list. Ian Stuart was definately one of the best. Back With A Bang is a classic. Carl from The Templars is also real good.

Again, in the streetpunk genre there are almost too great ones to name.

One of the better ones out there right now is Joe Blow from The Staggers (formerly Riot Sqad). Man that guy can sing.

Nobody can sing Rock like this geezer:

Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.

In my mind there is no hesitation, Sebastian Bach from Skidrow.

My number two choice is Geoff Tate from Queensryche.
