All rock singers.
Is Johnson a better singer that Scott, NO!
Johnson is a shouter.
Dio (no longer with us) was a shouter too.

So, H from steps would be a good rock singer to replace them all.
There you go, sorted, close the thread please.

Personal but err these guys... not even close, have you seen Coverdale, Planty etc live?

[luckyal]

Josh Homme of QOTSA. Voice, presence, attitude by the bucketload.

Seen Motorhead and AC/DC live.

I also like QOTSA man's voice.

[DocJock]

Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge. Huge range and excellent live.

[tonym911]

One for the oldsters - Glenn Hughes out of Deep Purple, solo.

[kiteless]

I can imagine Chris Cornell bettering all of Ozzy's vocals.

[S7Paul]

Another vote for Myles Kennedy.

Also Corey Taylor (for voice & stage presence) & Chris Robertson from Black Stone Cherry (powerful, soulful voice, sounds much older than his 26 years).

[Benni]

For sheer stage presence and a truckload of attitude,
I think Henry Rollins was hard to beat,
I only "discovered" him as he was ending his musical career.
Although some on here could say he was a "Shouter" I wouldn´t.

AND Bon Scott was the better singer, I wish they had done more songs like "Ride on".

100% agree with the above - Myles and Chris Cornell (love Soundgarden), funnily enough both performed on Slash's album. I like Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother too...

Any excuse for a bit of music!

Do have to agree though, they're thin on the ground these days

I saw Henrys live show a few years ago, he was just pure attitude (in a good way).

I don't think theres any new bands (that i've heard anyway) that have front-men that compare to a lot of the older bands.

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper are the best front-men I have ever seen.

[hornet]

I must be getting old, as I can't really name any modern rock bands I really like, let alone their singers.

Justin Hawkins had his moments I suppose, but hardly new now.
