these are my favorite vocal performances in rock, so they're specific songs:

bruce springsteen -- thunder road
billy joel -- piano man
the beatles -- for no one
jdub61 Reviewed by jdub61 on . Best Vocalists in Rock? 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. Rating: 5
