im also a professional singer and lead singer for a famous aussie band in the 80's.....if you think steve perry is the one and only voice, then i doubt you are a singer or vocal coach. youre an idiot at best, john farnham, is just one voice i can say outshines perry 10 times over. lying butthole vocal coach.....i bet youre that crazy b8tch who claimed she was a vocal coach on the talent show with sharon ozborn and that simon cowell.

@@karenbrandine7021 Neither of those two 'attributes' mean your opinion is more valid than that of someone else. In your case I suspect a closed mind to material and singers you have little knowledge or understanding for. Of course your choice could have been made simply through personal choice , not necessarily objectively arrived at.

[@karenbrandine7021]

@rogerfairhurst8705 I never said my opinion is more valid. It is after all subjective.....the obnoxious previous comment about needing to get out more was the only reason for my response. I have seen and heard more than alot of people

The only woman in this ranking - I’ve only gotten as far as Stevie Nicks. And while I grew up with her I also grew up with Joplin. You cannot leave her out - her amazing voice God she was amazing.

[@cherylsnyder9055]

They both got good voices and i've always liked stevie nicks , but Anne Wilson.Then as far as voice and range she was the best

[@suzyfarnham3165]

Stevie Nicks was...without doubt...THE WORST concert i EVER WENT TO. Pissed because I flew to New Zealand and bought 2 tickets to shows on 2 nights. Admittedly it wasn't for Nicks...but John Farnham. Nicks had half the audience walk out on her. She was atrocious. I had seen her years ago with Mac and loved that show??? She was bloody awful. The next night she demanded she go first ON STAGE ....so people couldn't leave...most went and sat at the bar until Farnham came on.She was like a screeching witch....THE WORST. Thank God for Farnham...over 100 live concerts and ..I have never been disappointed. After meeting Miss Gladys Knight and having a meet and greet...she was another off my bucket list...My only one left is Steve Perry. He is the last on my list I have never gotten to see.. C'mon Steve!! I will even fly 16 hours and break my back in an uncomfortable QANTAS seat..... for 1 performance.

[@suzyfarnham3165]

I was always a Steve Perry and Freddie fan...It wasn't until I watched an 'Isolated Lyrics' video showing the 2 that I realised just how unbelievable Steve Perry is. Freddie was probably a better 'showman' but Steve's voice was beyond words. He was the voice of a generation.....Amazing

Freddie Mercury's voice and singing was far more flexible than Steve Perry, he also had far more expression.

[@aliciabokor9879]

I saw journey in 1986 it was amazing his voice touched me to the point of tears , he sounded perfect , he brought the emotion.

yeah, at least he put Chris Cornell although it's almost a fact that the best voice of the grunge is Layne so

Thank you for recognizing Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell in the list. I saw Lincoln Park only once-wish I had seen them more. It was an unbelievable show; I can still feel the vibe of the music now- raw, emotional, real- as Chester belting out the lyrics to a crowd that hung on every word. And Chris Cornell- my Idol- is Not Dead- I hear him EVERYTIME I PUSH PLAY.

STEVE PERRY ONE AND ONLY

[@crabtreefalls1]

Elvis Presley!!!!

[@keetonplace]

No one on this list tops Elvis for sheer total entertainment, charisma, presence and a mutli-facited voice that could sing anything. I saw this man. I saw others. No one equals him, and some on this list were inspired by him. None of them will still be talked about as Elvis is 50 years after they're dead. Still 500,000 visit Graceland every year. That he was left off this list shows a real lack of knowledge in the uploader's rock world. (And many posters) And of how many singers were inspired by hearing him...before they even saw his beauty and charisma. How many records he broke at everything he did. He was the ultimate in every way. Showmanship unequaled..A voice of all the ages, straight from the heart and soul.

He is still an AMAZING singer and he has successfully done Broadway , on TV and is making his way on all of his solo albums. Even though everyone wants to see a reunion with Skid Row, they need him but he is more successful without them. He is still wild and crazy like he was in his youth. Love him or dislike him. He has never pretended to be something he's not. God bless him and his family HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉. Also we have the same birthday. GOD bless you and your family
