I always find these rock lists kind of strange, because if you ask this question of other genres you will get what most people, including vocal coaches, consider "good" - like phrasing, range, pitch, smoothness, etc. But in rock I see all kinds of names on these lists who are far from good in most of these categories. As Stephen Tyler proved, most of these singers couldn't sing The Star-Spangled Banner if their lives depended upon it. They might fit their style of music, and I like a lot of them, but they don't have classically good voices. That said, I prefer the classically good voice that does satisfy these attributes.
