Ian Gillan - My favourite singer and writer of all time.
Joe Lynn Turner - Did some great stuff with Rainbow, very good singer.
Freddie Mercury - Brillant writer and singer.
John Fogerty - has done some great stuff with CCR and solo, great singer too.
Jeff Lynne - Excellent singer, great writer.
Eric - February 3, 2006 05:41 PM (GMT)
Freddie Mercury, the legend.
then there are so many great singers: many of them listed already here. Jon Bon Jovi is also a great singer, especially in their 90s work. Richie Sambora is a highly underestimated singer; listen to his solo work Stranger In This Town, just awesome!
