Hi Silas,

Men (in this order):
1- Robert Plant (my real answer is that Robert Plant occupies all five of the top five, and everyone else is six and lower!)
2- Paul Stanley (I know, I know. His voice is shot now. KISS is a tribute band. Blah, blah, blah. I’m talking about Paul in his prime.)
3- Mick Jagger (May not be the best technical singer, but the versatility of what he can sing is hard to match.)
4- Roger Daltrey (The Real Me and Love Reign O’er Me. Enough said!)
5- Joe Lynn Turner (His vocals on those three Rainbow – Difficult to Cure, Straight Between the Eyes, and Bent Out of Shape – albums are stellar.)
Women (not in any particular order):
Chrissie Hynde
Amy Winehouse
Ann Wilson
Pat Benatar
Stevie Nicks
No particular order:
Emmett Aretha
Neil Fallon Olivia Newton-John
Richie Sambora Joss Stone
