Best rock singer ever?

i hate the white the white stripes with a passion. specifically specific....hahah makes sense when you drunk. kurt cobain...mey he rest in peace. but true he is the lennon of our time. that kiRAB got balls
 
Maynard. His soaring vocals are unmatched. Anytime he does something like the "I don't want it, i just need it, to breath, to feel, to know im alive" psssh. Im right there.
 
Can I just ask how Kurt Cobain broke the mould? He didn't invent any new movement in rock, just happened to write a cacthy tune that Geffen milked for all it was worth, and still do to this day. There were tons of better vocalists working in Seattle at the time, Wood, Cornell, Staley, Vedder etc, and many of those were around the scene from it's infancy, unlike Cobain who was actually introduced to it by The Melvins. He didn't create a new movement at all, sure he was an important figure in introducing it to a mainstream audience, but I don't see how that makes him a brilliant singer.

For me the best vocalists are Robert Plant, Thom Yorke, Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley, Zach de la Rocha and Maynard Keenan from Tool.
 
im surprised Matt Bellamy of Muse hasnt been mentioned. he is one of the best guitar players around at the moment and his voice is so unique. he rights some mean lyrics too.
 
Lots of people may not agree with me but i love the way Billy Joe of Green Day sings his style is very recocnizable and i love it plus i love his lyrics i can really relate to alot of them :band:
