I notice nobody's mentioned Kurt Cobain, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Thom Yorke.. Not that I think they SHOULD be mentioned. I'm just a little surprised nobody did.

Mickey Dolenz could be wonderful on a good song, and he had several. especially Sometime in the Morning and Pleasant Valley Sunday.
Oddly, Rudy Lewis was my favorite Drifters singer though

I'm sure they would have shown up if the thread was about greatest artists. But specifically as vocalists? nah.

Springsteen and Young belong in the same category.

I spoke too soon. As soon as I said that, somebody posted a list with those guys on it.

4. Jeff Buckley
5. Eddie Vedder
6. Daniel Gildenlow
7. Michael Kiske
8. Chris Cornell
9. Jackie Wilson
