Wetton for the win. Great vocalist and even better bass player.

Belew over Wetton..but both lightyears behind Lake.. the #3 greatest rock singer ever in terms of pure vocal talent.
 

I'm a Lake fan, too (of course), but #3? That's some overratin'! Who are your #1 & #2?

the hell it is overrating him... LOL

I do have Freddie as #1.. a no brainer obviously.. and do have Justin as #2 by just a hair over Lake.. who I also place by just as thin a margin over Macca

and yeah..  I was talking purely male vocalists not figuring female rock vocalists. Really damn hard to compare male and female vocalists.. as most others would.. I do as well. I rank them on their own..

fwiw.. a no brainer there at #!  Patricia...Heart

When it comes to preference, it's
Haskell > Lake > Wetton = Boz > Belew

When it comes to skill, I believe Lake is on top, he has the biggest voice. So i went with Greg Lake.

Greg was just amazing on the debut album. Nothing anywhere else any time any place tops that.
