Real British nationalist you are ehBut gotta agree, Queen was one of the best formations around. Still big fan of Brian for his un imitatable style. Never heard a guitarist sounding like him.
How many guitarists do you know who carve their guitars from mantle pieces

I saw Queen in Phoenix in 79' I think it was. Stoned as all hell with hair down to my ass. Moved to Kent, Wa. in 87' and saw PR and Queen in April 2006. All four original guys have had degrees and May had gotten his Masters in Astrophysics. Arguably the most highly educated band in rock history.

It's definately Paul Rodgers who's still laying down performances in a live setting more than 35 years later.

Layne Staley, hands down. No one can match his voice; the way he can change from a snarl to a scream in an instant is incredible.

You youngsters, there is only ONE, Buddy Holly. Elvis, while OK, was a white man, so acceptable to the "establishment", who sounded Black so he could appeal to the teeny-boppers. Had Buddy lived, Rock Roll would be far far different. The Day the Music Died! 3 Feb 59

"Drove my Chevy to the levy......"
I voted for Robert Plant when this poll came out years ago and it still stands.
While many a great singer listed (it was a tough call with Freddy on the list) Plant got my vote because of his versatility and range. Being an armchair critic with music I love a band that when one first hears a song, it sounds different than the last song and Plant did that. Snarl to a scream? Plant had that all over. One of the first innovators of starting quietly and then exploding. Listen to any song by Zep and check the vocal range that Plant employs. "Immigrant Song" is one that comes to mind. Starts the song with some tribal scream and then takes it down a notch for the lyrics only to go high register for the chorus. Compare the different style of singing between "Four Sticks" , "Hot Dog", "Going to California", "Communication Breakdown". Amazing that they're sung by the same vocalist.
