[BoroMart]

ignoring the tone and singing style, I'd say metrics over their range is a key factor and that's something that can be quantified.

So from the associated link, top 10 ranges for men, just rock singers or singers that did some rock:
- Axl Rose
- Prince
- Stephen Tyler
- Bowie
- McCartney
- Thom Yorke
- Freddie
- Presley
- Lennon
- Elton john

Graham Bonnet...outstanding singer


Here's a left field pick.... Chris Thompson of Manfred Mann's Earth Band.

Saw Graham Bonnet supporting Jack Bruce a few years ago. Sorry, but he was awful.

 

[The Ruthsayer]

Geddy Lee. And as others have said, Gillan, Eddie Vedder and Paul Rodgers.
And the great John Fogerty.

I think is all about what you like personally, every one of those on the lists are exceptional singers, but I would have included Ian Gillan, Jim Morrison, Grace Slick and PJ Harvey. But as I say just personal taste.

Grace Slick is on there HSB. Responsible for the greatest short rock track ever (sort of, maybe!); White Rabbit.
And the mighty Jay Buchanan (Rival Sons). Anyone who has seen this guy live over the last few years will agree.

Meatloaf feels like an obvious omission (maybe not taken seriously enough?).

Bonnie Tyler for the women.
