The building style looks more western european to me, and the landscape looks more alpine.

Chad Kroeger

...Well I like him at least.

Best of all time though? Mick Jagger. This guy has amazing timing. It's a shame about the eighties though.

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

I meant to say nobody mentioned. Johnny Cash is another. Conway Twitty wasn't bad before he went mawdling country.
Also Eric Burdon in the 60's.

You mean Geddy? Only in Canada I suppose. He can hit some crazy highs though. I always laugh when I see him in Tears are not Enough.

I agree, Mark Lanegan has an amazing voice. Not too recognized in the mainstream though.

Here are some my personal choices for best overall singing voice:

Ed Vedder
Layne Staley (nice to see a lot of you pick him as well)
Michael Stipe
Thom Yorke
Robert Plante

It sucks that Roger Daltry is on here so much when Pete Townshend was the better singer of the two. Oh well I guess you can't be famous for all three of writing great songs, singing, and playing guitar.

What other rock star can hold a candle to that voice? That power?

I came in this thread for the sole purpose of posting Freddie Mercury. I was absolutely shocked that it took 16 posts for someone to mention his name.

By no means am I a huge Queen fan or anything, but there's no denying that the man could sing.
