i shouldnt ,but i am basing my opinion on seeing alot of these people in concert,except elvis.


James Dio was pathetic
KISS was average at best

i do think that they didnt give it their best because it's just Oklahom City,and not L.A.,or Dallas.

That's pretty harsh man.

What if they had a cold that day? To discount what they do in a studio is criminal and you could discredit every person on here based on that logic!

I did see Elvis twice...he wasn't all that. I like his gospel stuff and a couple songs here and there, but to rip on Kiss?!? It's about Paul Stanley the performer...NOT Kiss the band!

PS: This is what I was listening to when I suggested Dio be included. I suggest you find a copy of this too!

Never heard Paul Stanley do opera so I can't speak to that. But Ronnie James Dio is a very good singer.

I like Billyreif's list. Jon Anderson (Yes) and Steve Walsh (Kansas). When they were at the top, nothing could touch their range and vocal ability. Steve Perry from Journey had near perfect pitch.

There's a lot of great vocalists out there and a number of not so great vocalists that have several platinum albums. I don't think anyone in the band Kiss would qualify for the top 20 vocalists. But longevity and sales speak for themselves.

Celine Deion and Barbara Striesand are phenominal. But their music is narrow in appeal.

A lot of great singers named, and quite a few funny jokes. I guess I will be a majority of 1, since it is all just a matter of taste, your generation, musical background, etc., and say that in her later years, with a range from basso to soprano, the greatest combination of style and voice I ever heard was Sarah Vaughan.
