Great lead singers

[Wakddood]

Ok this is a question about the greatest lead singers. They were so great that they have been lead singer in more than one band. Solo projects don't count. Also the nobody bands some of these guys got their start in or went to after don't count. Here's my list:
Paul Rodgers-Free, Bad Co., The Firm
Robert Plant-Zeppelin, Honeydrippers
Ian Gillan- Purple, Sabbath
Ronnie James Dio-Rainbow, Sabbath
Tim Ripper Owen-Priest, Iced Earth
Joe Lynn Turner-Rainbow, Sabbath
Eric Clapton-Cream, Derek and the Dominoes
Chris Cornell-Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave
Ian Astbury-The Cult, The Doors
That's all I can think of for now, anybody else know some?

[Delirious Nomad]

Does this mean guys like

Rob Halford
Ozzy
Klaus Meine

can't be counted?

They haven't been in more than one band unless you consider Halford's "Fight"...but I consider his stuff to be more of a "solo" project.

Are you looking for the "greatest singers" or just ones that have been in more than one band?

Maybe I don't understand what you're looking for.
:D

Althzimers must be settling in early........either that or I was just shooting for my very best....I love the Beatles(you know that).....and not to knock them down, there are other voices just truly amazing. NOW.....it is amazing that Macca is still hitting notes he hit 40 years ago. John and George...damn I miss them both!

[jeff connelly]

tony from t.n.t.
and ythe guy from the band baton rouge
lou graham

[macca]

Lou Gramm......he must need the $$$$ real bad. Painful to watch him perform now.....

[bigdaddysmak]

No one said Don Dokken or Ronnie Dio????? Jon Bush too...(Armored Saint / Anthrax)

[Delirious Nomad]

OH yeah..........Bigdaddy nailed it.
John Bush is THA man!

He's my personal favorite of all.

(Dio was mentioned in the very first post :D )

[bigdaddysmak]

I dont know about you, but "Stomp ???" (insert the numbers here....I think it was 182....) kicked hella - ass!!!!!

[Delirious Nomad]

"Stomp 442"
Yes...I like Anthrax more since John has joined. Although I liked Belladonna ok, the songwriting is more the reason that I don't "love" Anthrax.
I think it has gotten better since John has joined.

However, I think John is at his best with his former band "Armored Saint". That is my favorite metal band of all time.....hence, my nickname.....:D

[bigdaddysmak]

NOT!!!!

Hee hee

I even have the "I'm the Man" e.p.

I assume your speaking of Rob Caggiano.
He is from a band called "Boiler Room". I think they are based in New York.
Apparently, he is also some sort of producer. In fact, I believe he had a very large part in producing their latest album.

:cool:

[bigdaddysmak]

That would be him. I saw them on Headbanger's Ball......kicked butt!!!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself! :cool:

[bigdaddysmak]

Amen to that. What is Belladonna up to these days? I heard some stuff he was doing , but cant remember if he was with another band or solo.

Still solo....to my knowledge.
I think he has 3 releases.

I didn't follow him that much.

[bigdaddysmak]

"State of Euphoria " was good.:D

Anthrax is another good band that pays tribute to their influences. Zebra and Randy do it as well. Gotta love that. Some bands forget that these days.
