@ElaineWalsh-m2zWhere's Brent Smith? Where's David Draiman??
@kimberlyzabinski6704Not a bad list,, but not having Robert plant in the top 20 makes it the worst list ever🤦♂️😠
@daneallan7348It's about vocal range not best voice.
@flynnjesse10Sorry, just my opinion,but Geoff Tate should be #1
@allisonrharris6664No David Draiman? I dare u to listen to him singing Sounds of Silence and not get goosebumps. Phillip H. Anselmo? Listen to Cemetery Gates.
@sallychrostowski161Great singers all. But, you left out Steve Perry.
@dgcarlson1Uh..dude you didnt include Steve Perry (the Voice), Ann Wilson, Robert Plant???? That's messed up SMH
@loishenry2573They’re all number one’s in their own right. And there’s so many missing.
@cheriejohnson7520Where is Eddie?!?!?!?
@karibennett3532I'm sorry, but the fact that Steven Tyler!!!!!!!!!! Is above Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington ASTOUNDS me. I know they were a very influential band, but Steven Tyler's voice Doesn't even BEGIN to TOUCH their voices.
@wickedwings7611I love the Layne Staley love in the comments. And the Chris Cornell love. I also agree where’s Robert plant at?
@johnmal429Chester Benington and Chris Cornell
@gretchenrininger7093Steel heart
@theresacornell5987Why is Rob Halford not on this list?
@cathiedolle6017Where’s Stillwater?? wtf??!!
@JFCmacWay to heavy on metal and criminally lacking in classic rock
@rachelreno3287Oh, and Maynard.
@handsolo6241Its Cornell, Staily on top. No question.
@handsolo6241Axel rose
@UrsuloNatadCool list. Terrible ranking
@Chris-pb3seI've seen so many of these groups in concert! They were/are wicked awesome!
@christinestevenson4304Steelheart...when you have opera singers marveling at his range and control you have to include him. Journey, Halford, Bruce? I know theres o ly 20 spots but cmon...Europe?!
@LaoWhyTaoNo Lindermann? Freddy not #1? Invalid list.
@R0m0n3What about David Draimin He's got a amazing voice.
@carleighdillman1927What happened to Steve Perry? Annie Wilson? Pat Benatar??
@jodyprall9288What about Michael Kiske? How could he be left out of the list?
@fabiocaribe9495Chester #16 and Chris Cornell #15 is crazy.
@BTSMom1980I would like you a lot better if you stopped talking through it.. Bruh
@tiffaniemcdaniel403I know this is a newer person, not a veteran of music like many of these, but Kim Dracula has a 6 octave range with the high range being whistle range.
@desireeacree1048Bad list
@danbeaver3317Michael Hutchence INXS❤
@VesnaCerić-l4bJanis Joplin, Robert Plant, Ann Wilson, Eddie Vedder????
@elaynegroechel9005The female quota for every rock list: Amy Lee... go study more.
@elines8073Forget about disagreeing w/ the order of who’s where… how do you justify Steven Tyler and Chester Bennington but no - Robert Plant… Ronnie James Dio… Glenn Danzig… David Dramond… just for starters
@LarmonFarms9I think this entire video conflates clean vs harsh vocals with actual range.
