Re: Top 10 Favourite Singers
This is pretty off the cuff, but these are the ones that immediately came to mind:
1. Don Henley
2. David Gilmour
3. Neil Young
4. Tom Waits
5. Robert Plant
6. Glenn Frey
7. Randy Newman
8. Morrissey
9. Jeff Buckley
10. Phil Lynott
I'd also like to fit Jackson Browne in there somewhere. Paul Young too, at his best, had a gorgeous rough, soulful voice that I adore. More honourable mentions to Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. As for female singers, I admire Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell & Joan Armatrading.

But my list would have otherwise included:
Marc Broussard
Jonny Lang
Kenny Hinson
Kelly Clarkson (yeah yeah I know but she's awesome!)
David Cook (again...I know....but awesome! lol)
Whitney Houston (I know a lot of posters here aren't fans of the "power vocalists" or the vocal runs....but I LOVE it! :) )
Martina McBride
Stevie Nicks
Wynonna Judd
the guy that sings "Long Train Runnin'" for the Doobie Brothers (LOVE his voice but never learned his name! lol Same with the lead singer for Boston)
But then...if we're sticking to just rock 'n roll singers....that would narrow it right down LOL
Re: Top 10 Favourite Singers
The Doobies' singer before Michael McDonald was Tom Johnston. Boston's singer was the late Brad Delp.
The person on your first list I haven't heard of is Russ Lee. On your second list I haven't heard of Jonny Lang & Kenny Hinson.
Re: Top 10 Favourite Singers
This will take some major thinking on my part but top name will be Jonny Lang without a doubt!!!! LOVE his voice, always have. Will have to get back with you guys--but gotta tell you, loving some of the names I am already seeing, Jonny, David Gilmour, Steve Perry--good stuff here!!!

Willie, I don't know if you've heard Marc Broussard before...but if you like Jonny Lang I bet you'd like Marc! Very similar bluesy/soulful voices!
