What about Axl Rose???
I still listen to G N' R daily.
I wasn't aware this was about having Celine Dion ability to hit pitch, but as far as rock and roll goes, Geddy is a bad mofo. The high pitch thing is always cool if you can pull it off, and he was bad ass on songs from 2112, though he has lost ability to hit high notes like that sadly.

it's not about that, it's more about me not liking very many rush songs mainly due to his annoying voice. geddy is the man though, not just for inspiring les claypool. seeing as i am a big fan of gibby haynes, i'm not all about your dad's favorites like dion. interesting tidbit that has nothing to do with much besides hanynes:
By his own admission, Haynes once touched President Jimmy Carter's suitcase with his genitals (see Michael Azerrad's Our Band Could Be Your Life for the full story).
I ain't going through the last six pages, but my vote goes to Rod Stewart & Janice Joplin, hands down punk asses!
Thanks!That's Great!

Prince.
And you if you think he doesn't count.
So me!
Prince sucks ass.
U don't have 2 be rich 2 be my girl
U don't have 2 be cool 2 rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your . . . . . kiss
Prince is an outstanding musician. The guy is supremely talented, but I don't really care for his vocals.
As far as an overall musician - he's up there.
I remember Temple of the Dog. The one-shot album, like you said, for Mother Love Bone (though admittedly, I never heard of them). Very good album...if I checked my old collection, I am sure I still have it on tape (lol...never thought that I would say that and feel mildly old).
If Cornell's solo stuff is comparable to that Sunshower-vibe he had (nice remembering that, btw), Im hitting Best Buy today.
Nice heads up.
My wife is just got his new album. It isnt very good, and I semi-enjoy Prince.
Guy can shred though.
Very nice mention. I dont like Queen, but the guy had OUTSTANDING vocals.
And if this was a battle of stage presence, Freddie Mercury would win, hands down.
Fran Healy from Travis has one of the best voices. HE has a fairly big range and extremely good pitch quality.
In terms of stage presence, I think Mich Jagger and Axl Rose can give him a run for his money.
I hate Kiss, but Paul Stanley had a pretty good voice.
Ever seen Live Aid?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_AidQueen, opening to massive cheers with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the antics of lead singer Freddie Mercury got the entire Wembley crowd clapping in unison to "Radio Ga Ga" and singing along, word-for-word, to "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions". Mercury's performance, including him dancing with a cameraman during "Hammer to Fall", led to Queen's slot being voted the best live gig ever in a recent poll.
It almost made me a Queen fan.....Almost.
Ok, you got me.
I'll give second place to Axl, eventhough I hate him now.
You may need to give Axl two spots. The first being real high up on the list. The second being pretty low.
It just depends on which Axl chose to show up.
My cousin went to a pair of GnR concerts, the first for Appe e, the second for Illusion, and he said the first was amazing, the second was average.
I've heard his meltdowns and blowups rivaled his amazing signature shows.
I had to register for this site, just to respond to this. This is so laughable that I had to. Apparently you're pretty uncultured when it comes to music. Stage presence... have you ever heard of the Rolling Stones... Mick Jagger? Led Zeppelin... Robert Plant? AC/DC... Angus Young? Even though I hate him... Ozzy Osbourne? All these guys blow Freddie Mercury out of the water. And yes, I know Angus is a guitarist. He still kicks his ass.
By the way, I whole-heartedly agree on the Fogerty votes. Great, great singer. CCR is one of my top 3, definitely.
To whoever was talking about that "So Far Away" garbage that sell-out Staind did, yeah, Aaron Lewis used to be great... before he completely sold out to get on MTV, with garbage like that. Check out some of his earlier stuff on CD's "Dysfunction" and "Tormented". It isn't -oriented, like Break the Cycle and others since. The song "Home" has really good vocals on it. Particularly good is a song he did on... Warped Tour I believe, called "Outside", with Fred Durst, of all people. His voice gets old and tired after awhile, though. Voices like Jagger, Fogerty and Plant will last forever.

You obviously have no idea what youre talking about. Im glad you wasted your time to register just stick your head in your ass. Just because you dont like Queen or Freddie Mercury (nor do I, for that matter), doesnt mean he couldnt sing and didnt blow shows up.
Stage presence....Im not talking about Gwar-type stage presence with lots of props and moving parts. Im talking one guy carrying a show.
Apparently, many many rock magazines completely disagree with you as well. The Live Aid act has been consistently voted the greatest live rock performance ever. Glad you showed up though.
Old saying....Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
You are absolutely wrong on this.
Freddy Mercury was nothing but pure energy.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
