Yes, but many people consider metal a subgenre of rock - but it's really far too big and varied to be a subgenre of it.

Nevertheless, there is a fair bit of crossover and the ideals of rock and metal singers are often similar/same, and so many rock/metal vocalists are comparable.
 
Ok ignoring the screen name, Cobain really didn't have that great a voice.
But my faves are
Freddy Mercury
Stevey Tyler
James Hetfield
Lennon

Allot of rock singers have great voices, like I love Axl Rose, but his voices changes so much its insane. You never know what you're going to get.
 
great picks



love Danzig too

okay heres mine in order


Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) - This man has an irreplacable voice. His voice can flow into any beat, any sound he wants it too. I really love what he can do with the blues.

Eddie Vedder (his solo and in Pearl Jam) - He's one of my favs since I heard his Into The Wild soundtrack

Jim Morrison (The Doors) - His voice WAS what made the Doors the Doors.

Rickey Medlocke (Blackfoot) - Love the Southern sound and strength in his voice. It's so passionate and powerful

Layne Staley (Alice In Chains) His voice was so unique, without his voice, Alice In Chains is just NOT Alice In Chains anymore. His vocals was what made Alice In Chains different. R.I.P

Ronnie Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd) - Again, love the southern sound of his voice

Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones) - I have to say Mick sounRAB way better in the studio than live. He sounRAB more British live --I dont know why but he does. Great vocalist though, one of a kind. I consider him one of the greats.

John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Rivival) - Another great vocalist, saw him on a PBS channel putting on a concert and he sounRAB just as good as he always has. I just can't belive that he not only islead singer, but is also lead guitar in which he plays amazingly. You have to admire the guy.
 
The topic was Greatest Rock Singers. Not Metal/Pop/Country/any of the other 5,000 genres in existance. Those two would be definately at the top of the list.

3) Zack de la Rocha
