    I can’t do this challenge. Too many great voices to limit to just five names and Vedder wouldn’t even crack the top 10 for me. No particular order.

    Bono
    Maynard
    Juanita Stein
    Stevie Wonder
    Roy Orbison
    Ann Wilson
    Sting
    Chrissie Hynde
    Duffy
    Richard Butler
    Dwight Yoakam
    Chris Isaak
    Freddy Mercury
    Rob Halford
    etc..

    We know there are a lot of great voices.  What is your top 5 (or top six since I broke the rule myself)?

    I stuck with artists from "my day." Otherwise would include John, Paul, and George (sorry, Ringo) and Robert Plant.

    I need to redo my list...

    After listening to Traveling Willburys I was BLOWN away at the voices on there and I've said it before and yet I didn't mention a one of them in my list...

    I've even said that Roy Orbison is one of my favorite voices yet at this time I never mentioned him?!?

    2. Chris Cornell
    3. Rob Halford
    4. Amy Lee
    5. Ed Vedder

    (Gotta add Jim Morrison as a tag there as well.)

    I love Seger! I think he's one of the most under-rated artists.
    My change, only been thinking about it a few minutes, but I knew Seger was on my list before I saw him listed. Glad someone else named him too.
    1- Cornell
    2- Verdder
    3- Seger
    4- Neil Diamond
    5- William Hung (Couldn't decide on a 5th, so I just picked William)
