as a great a frontman as he his and the fact he's in my favorite band, i'd have to ask how the hell is he the best SINGER ever? i won't say anything about the guy who said he gets bored with the best singer but not jagger cause he's at least admitting jagger's a frontman but not an expitionale singer.

Maria Callas
Aretha Franklin
Sam Cooke
Otis Redding

Mick Jagger is, for me, not only the greatest frontman, but also the greatest singer EVER!!

Michael Jackson
Mick Jagger
Sam Cooke
Al Green
Steve Winwood
Freddie Mercury
Marvin Gaye
Steven Tyler

just to name a few...

Yes, I'll add Michael Jackson too please!!

To keefriffhard4life: If not the very best maybe, Jagger surely is one of the best rock singers ever. You don't at all have to be technically perfect or have a range the greater the better to be a good rock singer. Rythm, sound, phrasing, energy, uniqueness, inventiveness and lots more has as much to say!

Elvis Presley, Bon Scott and Mick Jagger.

Anderson, you're right!!

Bon Scott

theres a difference before a singer and a front man or performer. you just described a performer or front man. i singer has lots of technique. look at who i named i bet no one here knows any of them.

Helmut Lotti ;-)

Well then, if you're gonna go that way, Pavarotti beats them all.

he doesn't sing rock music.

You didn't say anything about that.

JIM MORRISON

ROBERT PLANT

JOHN LENNON

PAUL McCARTNEY

MICK JAGGER

Grant Lee Phillips, one thing to hear him on cd, but live he is fantastic.

Jagger is not a pretty singer, but his voice is incomparably powerful in the mid range,it can cut through at any volume.

male rock singers there are many, but this is a good list :

Scott Walker
Elvis
Howlin Wolf
Al Green
Otis Redding
David Bowie
Marvin Gaye
Van Morrison (early)

The list of the first poster is surely meant as a joke ,is it the list of the best vocalist whose balls were being stepped on at the time of the recording?.

What about the worst vocalist, i would go for the guy in the Pet Shop Boys,Bono or Robert Plant, who can sing, but when he's bad he's really bad (see Rock n Roll on the Song Remains the Same movie, one of the most embarassing vocals of all time).

No order

Eirc Burdon
Mick Jagger
Jonh Lennon AKA winston O'Boogie
David Bowie
Natt King Cole
Heintje

Bono Vox aka Paul Hewson

Firstly, Jim Morrison was a great stage persona but not a very good singer, as a matter of fact, later on (circa 1969-1970) his singing got even worse.
Now about great singers in rock history... well, Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger, Bon Scott, Otis Redding, Ian Gillan and Bono come to my mind.
Anyway, what makes a singer a good singer? Doesn't sing out of tune? Well...

Mick Jagger, Elvis Presley, Paul McCartney and maybe even David Bowie when he does that cool croon stuff...

JumpingKentFlash

Oh s***, I forgot about Bowie and Bryan Ferry, Chris Cornell and Rod Stewart (before he went disco).
