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

@@ThelSuperlKing, It doesn't matter if they're easy to cover. He still had a great voice. I find "The Show Must Go On" and "Dream On" easy to cover, does that mean that Freddy Mercury and Steven Tyler are not that good? It's not about how easy the song is to cover. It's how good the singer is.

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

[@armrugatewood9110]

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.

Wth!! Where is SEBASTIAN BACH!!!! He is one of the Most talented singer of all time. He made Skid Row. Without him they would not have been successful. 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

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Freddie Mercury was the most versatile and expressive singer.

[@absolutelycarmen]

To me it is.. and will always be.. Freddie Mercury. His voice, his abillity to make every single song written not by him, but either by Brian, John or Roger like he wrote it himself, his vocal range, his beautifull vibrato, his charisma, his diversity in genres, his interaction with the fans (I don't like to use crowd control, so therefor I went with : his interaction 😉), I could go on for so much longer, but I'll leave it with this. I mean..Live Aid (I forgot to mention that performance, even whilst that performance was against his doctor's advice to even perform at all), and ofcourse the Freddie Mercury Tribute'event ..that, to me, says it all. And let's not ever forget how he kept on singing so beautifull when he was almost at the end of his life.even (!!),his voice stayed spine chilling. Numero uno, without having to think twice. Sorry for me adding more reasons, but I think it was needed to remember that too. Note to myself ànd to all of you..imho, ofcourse. Differences of oppinions will always be there and rightfully so. ✌️💞

Stevie was inducted twice also

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

You cannot deny that Mercury is the greatest. His voice was an amazing instrument and thing of beauty. along with his charisma, creativity, showmanship and sense of fun the man was one of a kind and an icon. I also feel that at #2, Robert Plant deserves to be one of the top. His voice range, his emotions and. his distinctive voice is something to remember and cherish. Listening to Plant sing Since I've Been Loving You is raw and emotional. Listening to Kashmir he takes you on a magic carpet ride through the distant lands. His voice, along with Jimmy Page's outstanding guitar make Stairway to Heave the best rock song of all time.
