Thank You...I kept waiting on his name..but...always one of my favorites

[@benoitc.5400]

Tony Harnell. What a voice. Hasn't lost anything. Still a great voice even today.

[@DavidRO87]

I would change a few of them with any of the following: Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) Jean Beauvoir (Crown of thorns) Johnny Gioeli (Hardline/Axel Rudi Pell) Steve Lee (Gotthard) David DeFeis (Virgin Steele - Life among the ruins)

[@kforcer]

Great list.

[@lmethom]

Not sure where Bryce would put Tony Harnell, hard rock or glam, but an amazing, under appreciated singer. TNT gets forgotten because of the more famous Norwegian thrash/death metal genre, but they are in the Norwegian Hall of Fame.

[@fettz5426]

I've been waiting for this amazing crossover

[@TimsVinylConfessions]

Any time Dave Meniketti and Y&T get mentioned, I'm here for it. Great lists guys.

[@COTTERO]

I NEED to mention these guys.😉 Danny Vaughn (Tyketto) David Readman (Pink Cream 69) Gary Hughes (TEN) Randy Jackson (Zebra) Johnny Gioeli (Hardline) Richard Black (Shark Island, Contraband) John West (Sun Red Sun, Feinstein) James Christian (House of Lords) Jorn Lande (Brazen Abbot) Eric Martín (Mr Big) Ray Gillen (Badlands) Steve Walsh (Kansas) Ian Astbury (The Cult)

[@realjonmandude]

Fantastic list. Eric Martin is phenomenal live. Danny Vaughn as well. Glenn Hughes doesn't have the nickname "the voice" for nothing. I would add Paul Shortino

[@COTTERO]

@@realjonmandude I forgot about him.😰 Aside to King Cobra, Paul and the Appice brothers released a couple of years ago "Monsters and Heroes" a cool tribute song to Ronnie Dio.👍

[@robbrannen193]

I think Graham Bonnet is an underrated frontman.

[@kforcer]

Absolutely. Following a legend is never easy. I feel the same way about Howe with Bad Company. When you replace a legendary singer in a band, you are bound to be underrated by the fans.

[@petermcallister8489]

One of the best.

[@Stewieboy1995]

@@kforcer the bad company albums with Brian Howe are actually pretty good. I enjoy them and they’re pretty good rocking albums with Brian.

[@Navili502]

I agree. However, I think that's largely due to the fact that it was difficult for him to replicate live what he did in the studio. Some of his on stage performances aren't quite as good.

[@sneakyuploader_4477]

I have to cheat a little and throw in a couple of Metal vocalists! In no order: Danny Bowes (Thunder) Ronnie James Dio Rob Halford Freddie Mercury Brad Delp Sammy Hagar Paul Rodgers Ann Wilson David Coverdale Phil Mogg Honourable mentions for pontiffs such as Ian Gillan, Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, Bon Scott, Brian Johnson, Dan McCafferty, Steve Marriott, Phil Lynott, Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, James Dewar, Ricky Medlocke, Steve Grimmett, Bruce Dickinson, Roger Daltrey, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland, Jeff Keith, Steve Perry, Joey Belladonna, Robin Zander, Klaus Meine and many more.

Great to see Jack Russell so high on Bryce's list! And cool that he gave an honourable mention to Dave Meniketti. I'll just mention my favourite of all time: Lou Gramm. Okay, I'll mention my second favourite as well: Klaus Meine. The rest would be hard to rank! For some reason I love when Pete starts waxing lyrical about Coverdale, hahah. Very enjoyable show, thanks - you guys make a great duo on these videos 🙌

[@Rocker1983]

So glad that you had Klaus in your honorable mention. I watched the Metal singers video first and couldn't believe neither of you had him on that list. So I knew he had to be included on this one. It's definitely hard to widdle a list down to 10. I really enjoyed the video.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Thank you Pete for giving some respect to Steve Marriott, my favorite character in rock history. What an amazingly gifted but deeply troubled talent he was. However, what you say is true. Many people now days have never heard of him. People, do your selves a favor and listen to Humble Pie, Small Faces and his solo work singing the blues. RIP Steve - April 20, 1991 - 30yrs gone.

[@jimtoms7591]

Love seeing Bryce and Pete do a ranking together. Also, love the props for Lenny and Kingdom Come. Great, underrated band.

Mark Slaughter had an awesome voice. Didn't see anyone mention him below in the comments so I decided to drop his name here. I have most of the Slaughter cds and also the Vinnie Vincent Invasion album he sang on, "All Systems Go". Good stuff. CJ Snare from Firehouse has some great pipes too. I always liked Dave King when he was in Fastway, and also the Katmandu album he sang on. Great singer.

Thought you were talking about my number one hard rock singer for a second there... The Warning: Three teenage sisters from Mexico. Their 2nd album, Queen of the Murder Scene, is a concept album/rock novel, which is best listened to in album order because it tells a linear story, and live because of the energy of their performance with an audience. The following links are from their 2019 concert at Foro Didi, which I consider their finest performance. Through technical difficulties, they push on giving professionals a lesson to aspire to.

Doogie White is great. I love the Rainbow album Stranger In Us All ,and the two Yngwie Malmsteen albums Attack and Unleash The Fury alot. Kelly Hansen is another great singer. Hurricane is a great band, and Kelly has done a PHENOMENAL job in Foreigner. I never thought it was possible for anyone to replace Lou Gramm.

[@MCDLHOTP]

Steve Overland and Doogie White are great picks for underrated vocalists. I don't know your other mentions well, but when it comes to Doogie, people should also check out his work with La Paz and Cornerstone for some more hard rock-/AOR-focused albums. I haven't gone too far down the rabbit hole yet, but the La Paz album Granite was one of my most played albums last year - a great "comfort" hard rock/AOR album.

[@totallyspicoli8771]

I have a sleeper pick for this: Griff Stevens of the early 80's bands Russia / Force 10 (overlooked for the last 40+ years). Also want to mention 3 Billy's: Billy Squier, Billy Gibbons, Billy Idol, and also Steven Tyler, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Jim Morrison, Maynard James Keenan. Great channel here!

Steven Tyler I can't believe nobody mentioned Bon Scott. I like those numbers and pictures in the video. Maybe some old Geezers will think on something like that for their videos. And one more thing... Steve who????

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Steve who!?! You, my son need to go back and listen to the "legend". Steve was the 1st choice of Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi for Zepplin and Sabbath (he turned them down). Bowie, Daltry, Plant, Townshend, Keith Richards have all stated that he was the best blues/soul/rock singer UK ever produced. The younger up and comings idolized him - Ozzy, Paul Stanley, Stephen Tyler, Sammy Hagar, Chris Robinson, Steve Perry, Bryan Adams, Jack White, Paul Weller, Gallagher Bros. have stated in writing that he was their hero. When your favorite, Bon Scott died, the AC/DC boys wanted Marriott to replace him, but by that time, Steve was deep into his own addictions and was so rude and insulting to them that they changed their minds. You certainly have a right to your opinions, but please have a good listen (any albums from Smokin and Performance - Rockin the Fillmore backwards. Later albums aren't as good sadly). Even further back to Small Faces -who hardly a soul in the US knows- Steve's voice is amazing. Listen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqGTm41qd6yoetk This was 1966 when Steve was just 18 - what a voice. Robert Plant certainly liked it and copied it for Whole Lotta Love. Steve was like a comet, a bright light that burned briefly, then sadly burned out and came to a sad end. Rock on Steve. RIP

@@cindyfalstrom7231 Thanks for reminding me why I don't like Led Zeppelin. And I'm glad he didn't replace Bon Scott in AC/DC. Bon was an aggressive singer, was a bit bluesy sure, but most of all he was a hard rock singer. That Steve Mariott was just a blues singer I guess. But I am not very familiar with Humble Pie so who knows.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

@@lucasbeer353 Although Steve Marriott was a very soulful blues singer, Humble Pie was a rock band and Steve was every bit as aggressive as Bon (and he played guitar while doing it!), no disrespect to Bon intended. Before you judge them, you really ought to listen to them so you will know what you are talking about. Take a couple min. to watch this YT video of a live performance of "I Don't Need No Dr.", which is the song they always closed their concerts with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5i6oqWGaJWMjrM If you still don't like them, so be it. Ate least you tasted the Pie! I'd love to hear your opinion.

@@cindyfalstrom7231 I love that song 'I don't need no doctor' but in this version kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXusiK2oh7Kih7s However it's really nice that Humple Pie decided to pay tribute to the mighty WASP! Ha! I've got a feeling that Steve Marriott was overreacting. He was more bluesy that it was actually needed. And I'm not a big blues fan.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

@@lucasbeer353 THANK YOU for sending me the link to WASP (I had never heard of them). OMG - they were hilarious - not sure if they were meant to be - I am obviously not a fan of the Big Hair Heavy Metal Bands. However, credit where due - they did a good job with this cover. All it needed was a little blues thrown in - haha. You are probably aware that Humble Pie were covering the Ray Charles version which was MUCH slower and bluesier. This old geezer appreciates you showing me something new, however, I'll stick with the old timers thankyou! Nice talking w/you....

[@andrettski8686]

You 2 guys give really good different perspectives and are extremely knowledgeable. Me personally I look at what that vocalist does in fronting the band as well so I totally agree on Gene and Paul from KISS. I'd put Bon Scott up in my top 3 and Klaus Meine all were a huge influence in me becoming a huge hard rock fan. I VOTE for Blackie Lawless in top 10 as well.

I’m surprised they didn’t include Klaus Meine. One of the best around!

[@brycetalksmetal]

He’s quite good indeed, listed him in the honorable mentions part

[@jaimeres]

I’m surprised Dio wasn’t mentioned.

[@ukrocksounds3419]

@@jaimeres Am guessing Dio falls into more Heavy metal than hard rock. Dio is a legend, Pete is a huge Dio fan.

Awesome Duo, great channel, yep Stranglehold is a epic track alright. Top heavy metal vocalists seems like a good idea to clarify.
