Axl Rose Among 'Greatest Voices in Rock'

[Deb Rose]

Steven Tyler should definitely be higher.

wow he is up over alot of great singers. Very nice. Alot of UK singers lol, but hey its a UK poll. 

[The Dog]

Ian Astbury could be in the top 40... and I think Steve Perry should be higher up.  Not really a Journey fan, but that guy can sing.

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

I agree. They even put Cornell on there, but left out Eddie. And Bon Jovi's voice isn't exactly special, either.


At least the old Axe is getting the respect he deserves.

He had a very good voice back in the days. His songs are very hard to sing.

As for that list, I respect every single one of those singers but it's not too close to my personal favorites.

Gotta have Joey Ramone on that list.  I would have had Axl higher (OK, #1), but like Jarmo said it's quite a feat to be considered best of your generation.

It's a British classic rock station, I doubt they ever play PJ, apart from maybe one or two predictable hits from Ten.  I think the list is ok considering the station's audience.  And they voted Axl ahead of Bruce - considering it's a British poll you have to say that's impressive!

Axl should be top 5 over Daltrey and Coverdale and maybe even the Deep Purple guy

Daltrey at his peak should be higher if anything. The guy had power, range, was a great harmoniser and had no annoying vocal tics, plus if anything he was better live than in the studio. Who Sell Out, then Live At Leeds and Who's Next show all the facets of the guy. Totally under-rated, if anything.

Coverdale higher than Joplin and Morrison???

Joplin should be number one ahead of everyone... she WAS rock n' fuckin' roll. Then I would probably put Axl at #2. Janis never gets the respect she deserves these days.
