Greatest Lead Singers - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dr frasier crane · 08-16-2004, 12:42 AM

Who do you think are the best lead singers of all time? Maybe some of them don't have the greatest voice, but they just posess carisma.

Here's mine:

1) Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)
2) David Lee Roth (Van Halen)
3) Don Henley (The Eagles)
4) Freddie Mercury (Queen)
5) Mick Jagger (the Stones)
6) Paul Rodgers (Bad Company)
7) Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)
8) Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac)
9) Debbie Harry (Blondie)
10) Steve Perry (Journey)

Dr. Frasier, that is a great list! Even though you put Steve at number 10.

These are all great voices.

David Cassidy has a wonderful voice, and was a great lead singer for the Partridge family.
