Paul Simon is one of my favourite vocalists. Roger Daltry has an incredible voice in terms of sheer quality but I'm not that big of a fan of him. I really like the sound of Eddie Vedder's voice, although it's been mimicked so poorly by artists like Nickelback. Van Morisson too, I just saw him live a couple weeks ago and man can he still sing.

For me, this begins and ends with Robert Plante.
Best rock vocalist of all time as far as I'm concerned.
Honourble mention:
Jim Morrison
Some personal favourites, although hard to justify as the best:
Kathleen Hanna
Curt Cobain
Tim Armstrong
Anthony Kiedis
Jack White

You should probably like Lemmy then.
I don't know how that guy continues to breathe, let alone sing.

Axl Rose.
I love Eddie Vedder, and am continuously disgusted by all the posers that believe they can sing as good as him.

Are you guys insane? Quite possibly the greatest rock singer of all time and not one mention thus far?
What other rock star can hold a candle to that voice? That power?

Yes. You are absolutely correct. Freddie Mercury was awesome. I wish he was still around, because I really miss Queen.

I concur. Greatest rock singer of all time.
Where is that statue located anyway? My guess is Budapest.

Lots of good choices here but except for Elvis there is nobody from the 50's.
Here's a couple with links. This guy had a good voice and it was Rock then although it's not much like it is now. I think he also ODed young on heroin so that's another cred.
Frankie Lymon

Of course Buddy Holly wasn't bad either
