there are two singers
Axl Rose and Jon Bon Jovi that are two of the greatest vocalist
axl for obvious reasons
Jon is one of the most under rated frontmen of all time
his voice is very melodic and just his own, he conveys emotion and is versatile even though he gets no credit
axl and jon are two singers that do cover songs better than the originals and that is rare

Thats my list - Scott Weiland will be admitted once he writes a single good lyric
I don't mean to pick on ya man, but you can't make a Greatest Vocalists list and not include
Jon Bon Jovi
.... it just can't happen. I mean it isn't right. I know it is your opinion mostly... but consider him too like Scott.

When it comes to versatility, Mike Patton sure doesn't have much contest.

I think too many of you have forgotten about
ROB HALFORD
Listen to Unleashed in the East. That singing is incredible. It is better than the studio recorded songs! The only bad part about Halford's voice is his horrible low range on songs like Breaking the Law and You've Got Another Thing Coming. But no one can match his high voice. He is the most consistent live singer ever. There's a reason why he is known as the
Metal God
. It's weird how gays like Halford and Mercury have excellent high voices but mediocre low voices.
Axl's low voice on songs like It's So Easy is underrated. He also has the coolest rasp ever. He tended to falter live though. It's great how he can run and sing, but after 5 songs or so, he starts to lose it. I think he's in the top 10 greatest singers, but not #1. His skill is a frontman is greater than his skill as a technical singer.

this could be the first time i've ever agreed with you.
Rob Halford is absolutely amazing. Many of my friends prefer dickinson, and i used to as well, but after listening to Victim of Changes on UITE and Hell Patrol, i'm sorry but halford truely is the metal god, and he was the origionator of the vocal style metal singers would try to copy for decades after him.
Axl is my favorite studio singer, only because i LOVE the raspy vocals (background of breakdown
) and because his voice fits his lyrics so well
but when it comes down to who is the greatest vocalist of modern times, I think few can compare to Halford.
edit * I like halfords low voice as well! come on, Leather Rebel and Nightcrawler both have some great low vocals from halford.

I think it's close between Dickenson and Halford on the studio albums, actually. Both voices are perfect for both bands. Halford unquestionably has the better live voice (reportedly 6 octave range!), however. Dickenson must be a smoker, or used to be one, because he loses his voice too easily. Ditto for Axl.
And I know this might shock you, but I find Painkiller overrated. The title track is brilliant, but the rest is kind of boring, at least compared to the ungodly 70's albums. Sad Wings of Destiny is my favorite, followed by Stained Class.

Well, Painkiller does have some serious moments of cheese, but i still love it. I like the older priest stuff, but to me it doest match the intensity of painkiller, which is what first got me into priest
That being said i also like Ram it Down, an EXTREEMLY underrated album.
and Dickinson probably did smoke, but on the Rock in Rio dvd his voice is amazing, he hits every not perfectly. But he still doesn't have the incredible range of halford.

Come on the great 'warble' of Rob Plant has to make him number 1. Great voice at all levels unlike other greats. Would say Freddy, but cant really recall his voice on harder faster tracks? Need to dig some queen out! please correct me if wrong Axl is top ten i'm afraid but the best damn front man ever- no one is close to him in that department which is quite a testiment! Curt Kobain?!-please! I can sing better
