So, being a guitarist I always paid more attention to guitars than anything else. Well now that I'm in a band where I also sing, I am beginning to really appreciate some of the range and dextrerity of a lot of singers.

So my question is who does everybody think the best vocalists are/were?

My picks in no kind of order.....

Brent Smith - Shinedown
Robert Plant - Led Zepplin
Layne Stayley - Alice in Chains
Chris Cornell - Soundgarden, Audioslave, etc.

Of that list Brent Smith is probably my favorite, but it's hard for me to say that any one of those guys is better than the others.
