Cool list.  I don't think Coverdale should be that high up, but he does have a great voice.

Axl's not in bad company there in the Top 10....

All the people ahead of him are from a different generation.

So Axl's obviously the best of his generation....  Cool

I agree with most, though definately not in that order...but I have one glaring exclusion: Neil Young.  Neil Young can't f---ing sing.  Sorry.  Neil, you are nice guy and all, but keep playing with your toy trains.  Everyone else on that list has some talent.  no

i cant take that list seriously when Eddie Vedder aint on there, fair enough if you dont like his music [though i think its great] but he can sing like an angel. Ever seen there MTV unplugged. Good for Axl though

IMO Seb ruins Gn'R songs when he sings with Axl, I know he's mates and all that but a great singer 'e ain't.

Sorry but Neil Young is a god in many ways, great voice ( that you either LOVE or HATE ) but you gotta admit its unique. Not to mention he's a guitar god! Neil should be #1  ok
