    Best rock and roll music, America.  Tough to argue against Buddy Holly, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard.  Also the blues musicians from America mentored all the British bands in the 1960s and 1970s.
    Ick.  Classic, sure, but corny as hell.
    The British bands took the upbeat tempos of the 50's rock and brought the seriousness of blues back into it, and thank god they did! 
    I can't think of any rock and roll voice that is better than Little Richard (the best) from any English rock band

    Freddie Mercury is generally considered to be in the top 3 voices of rock, all time.

    Impossible. Mike Patton makes up the entire top 10.
