It's not that I don't think Paul and John or Mick & Ian aren't great singers, but I'm talking spine tingling vocals, which usually include great falsettos and passion when they perform.
I'll always love Ozzy, Dio, Phil et alii, but..............Am I forgetting anyone?????
Honorable mentions
Eddie Vetter
Billy Corgan &
Jim Morrison

Great list! But, I would TOTALLY have to add Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam - AMAZING rock voice; edgy, alive, raw and emotional.
