Going off the track just a bit, EmmyLou Harris has a tremendous voice. Or, as the front man for the Dry Branch Fire Squad (bluegrass group) refers to her.....EmmyHair Lewis.
Oh F it - Guitar thread has been fun - How about best rock singers?

Not a fan of Lady Gaga's music, but her voice is exceptional. Really good Star Spangled Banner. Chrissie Hynde was a really cool rocker chick....especially in concert. Cool in a Tom Petty-Mark Knopfler way. The Breeders were cool as well.
Tom Petty is another one I thought of. Not what you typically think of as a great voice, but it fit his style of music, and he chose his songs really well. Not a guy I'm going to pick for top 5, but he gets consideration for an extended list.
I don't think tom would rank his voice that high. Mick Jagger couldn't care for his own voice. Its pretty funny.
Okay, I am going to throw one out there that I think very few (if any) of you have ever heard of- Rhiannon Giddons. She has a voice that is truly amazing, and she is also beautiful and a super talented musician also. See if you can keep your toe from tapping when they do Cornbread and Butter Beans.Ok - if we are talking women rock singers now,
Of Course Ann Wilson (Heart)
Martha Davis (the Motels, although they are more pop-ish)
Rindy Ross (Quarterflash)
Chrissy Ampflett ( RIP the Divinyls)
Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde)
And also of course Pat Benatar - saw her in Spokane about a decade ago

Acoustic with her sister
So it isn't really rock, but wanted to share her talents with everyone. Would love to see her live!
So, stumbled upon a yt video of the first 48 hours of MTV, and this video was the second one aired if I recall correctly.Ok - if we are talking women rock singers now,

My wife says to me "You're so crushing on Pat Benatar right now!" and I just reply "I guess so, she's freaking owing the screen right now. You know how bad ass you have to be to just look into the camera and not look dumb or dorky? Her confidence is terrifying right now!"
My gawd... can we stop with the opioids please? Such a tragic and unnecessary loss.
Surprised that anyone here knew her. Such a talent, and easy on the eyes as well!
I like St James Infirmary best. It took me back to 1978 in jackson Wyoming. Was rumbling around MT fishing with my college roommate and we ended up there for a day or two. Hard to believe, but we ended up in a bar, and there was a band playing that had a female lead singer. No idea who she or they were, but OMG-she belted out a cover of St James Infirmary that completely blew me away!!! Still recall how great that was.
You can tell the talent of someone by the heavy weights who want to appear with her. Tom Jones, YoYoMa, Paul Simon, etc. BTW, Tom Jones can still sing his ass off. He's 82 yo and still has a powerful voice.Surprised that anyone here knew her. Such a talent, and easy on the eyes as well!
