Bruce Dickinson is a good call. I'd go with: Scott Weiland Sebastian Bach Maynard James Keenan Chris Cornell Freddie Mercury |

It's kinda relative. I mean I'd pick Mercury just because but if you are doing it based on octave range it's not him. Axl has 5 octave range, Mike Patton a 6 apparently. I don't think I'd say Mike Patton was a top 5 voice. |

And I also don't understand why people still even bother with Keenan/Tool/etc. It must be a total drag to be in a band with that guy. I haven't seen Daryl Hall, Todd Rundgren or Michael Sweet mentioned in this thread. Those dudes have some pipes too. |

I think Maynard is underrated as a "voice" guy. I think people see him as more of an yeller instead of a singer. But, those people probably aren't listening to all of his music. |

As long as we are listing terrible singers, how about Ronnie James Dio? |

I also have to add Levon Helm from The Band to my list, too. |

Scott Weiland, Layne Stayley, Freddie Like the Matthew Sweet, always thought Bob Mould had a voice. Kate Pierson is one that will get me every time |

I think old Rod Stewart and Chris Robinson from The Black Crowes are definitely on the list. |

Thom Yorke has shot his vocal cords over the years but he had great pipes circa The Bends and OK Computer. |

Allow me to tongue-in-cheek present Don Henley as an honorable mention to any top 5...I would never try to position him in the company of some of the others mentioned but the fact that when you see him live you get note-for-note perfection is a testament to just how good he is. |

Yeah, that's a good one, but it doesn't sound Eno-ish enough to be U2. I also like "Thinking About You," "Lurgee," and "Blow Out." It might be a better album than The King of Limbs. |
