Best Rock n Roll Voice All Time

[Hellbilly]

There's a great Paul Gilbert interview where he's talking about a guy from Pennsylvania called him and said you got to hear this guy played anyway over the phone he was blown away.

Rick Beato interviewed Tommy Emanuel who mentioned Chet Atkins from the 30s and 40 s ?
Or 40s and 50s....being a huge influence.

Chet Atkins or Mr. Guitar. Great example. He was one of three who created the Nashville sound. Pretty much saved Nashville from itself. His style of picking was called Travis picking. A style he got from Merle Travis. He was also influenced by Les Paul and later in life, Jerry Reed. That's why I don't believe in a 'best' when it comes to music.

Rik Emmett gets some honorable mention...not a bad guitarist as well..

As with most art forms there is no such thing as the best.

its a matter of taste ... but we can put what we would consider the best in a group ..

best rocknroll voice ? i've heard a lot of good names but i cant believe no ones mentioned Rob Halford yet !

 

[Ringo]

 

[Mashmont]

Ric Ocasek deserves to be included in the list.

I always thought Ocasek sounded a bit weird, like an alien.

 

[Meathead]

Paul Rogers ofBad Company gets my vote.

Good, but Janis Joplin best. OK, maybe Freddie Mercury.
