...In the spirit of the guitar thread, who do you think can really wail?

Robert Plant, Ian Gillan, Axl Rose and David Coverdale immediately spring to mind.

Good call about Bon Scott, never quite taken to Brian Johnson.

Controversial choices, Simmons only takes lead in Kiss occasionally and Ozzy is often shambolic!

I was thinking Graham Bonnet, suffered a little by being part of Rainbows 'pop rock' phase but he is very gifted.

Lemmy is in that category as well.

I'm a huge Rush fan but even Geddy Lee doesn't think he has a good rock voice. It's certainly distinctive though.

Remember this is a ROCK singers thread, but yes I agree, I envy guys with those big, gravelly power voices, and the soul and passion in his is undeniable.

The fact that he is utterly gorgeous too helps

I got to meet him once and no words came out of my mouth when I went to speak. I was so embarrassed but he gave me a kiss on the cheek and I was the happiest littlebird

Sister Rosetta Tharp was gospel/blues not rock! Although, its widely considered that she popularised the guitar solo. She was utterly brilliant though...
