My 6 year old daughter posed this question. I thought it was great. She also said that she knew her favorites were not the best. Here are my choices, which are not necessarily my favorites:

No particular order:

Robert Plant
Freddie Mercury
Axl Rose
Janis Joplin
Paul Rodgers

Jim Morrison
Grace Slick
Robert Plant
Mick Jagger
Christine McVie

All respect to Solomon Burke, Sam Cooke, and Otis Redding, but the category is RnR.

Garn509: I thought rock was the white man's take on blues? Hard to include Robert Plant and Mick Jagger without acknowledging their source. Harder still, not to include Solomon Burke and Sam Cooke as the essence of the roots.

bongofury- the distinction remains even if source is known. Cooke, Burke,and Redding are widely regarded as Soul or R&B performers. Who would call them rock n roll singers ?

Otis, my man!!

You can't keep those guys out, they are the beggining of Rock and Roll. What about Marvin Gaye?

Good call Bongo.
