Mike Naismith has a great voice, ever hear "Joanne"?
Love you more today than yesterday - Spiral Staircase
Taxi - Harry Chapin
led zeppelin..great songs...great band...but maybe the worst “live” band ever, and Plant was the main reason why.
Child in Time by Deep Purple definitely belongs on the list (Ian Gillian could scream with the best of them). Woman from Tokyo also deserves honorable mention.
Quick list, no one particular song:
Steve Marriot, Humble Pie
Lowell George, Little Feat
Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull
The Beatles
Grace Slick, Jefferson Airplane
Janis Joplin
Greg Lake, King Crimson and ELP
Steely Dan
The Eagles
Jim Morrison, The Doors
Todd Rundgren
Peter Wolf, J Geils Band
Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart)
Leon Russell
Joe Cocker
The Who
The Kinks
The Rolling Stones
Eric Burdon, The Animals
Alvin Lee, Ten Years After
Steve Winwood, Traffic
Pink Floyd
Little Richard
Yep, Jeff Buckley. Also Thom Yorke of Radiohead.
Jon Secada “Just Another Day”
One hit wonder, ONE great performance.

Combine him with Burton Cummings from Guess Who and you have the two most underrated (and thoroughly extraordinary) singers of the rock era.
Welcome to our planet, strange traveler!
I would nominate Grace Slick's sassy rendition of "Greasy Heart' -- on the 'b' side of "Watch Her Ride" 45 release and included in "Crown of Creation" lp.
Child in Time by Deep Purple definitely belongs on the list (Ian Gillian could scream with the best of them).
Ian Gillan - Gethsemane (From Jesus Christ Superstar)

Replace “Because” by The Beatles with “Seven Bridges Road” by the Eagles for a group vocal if you’re looking for a true tight harmony. “Great Gig in the Sky” by Pink Floyd maybe the greatest single vocal of all time from Clare Torry, but Floyd is another league to begin with.
Fish (Marillion) - Slainte Mhath

Yeah, that’s right.
Yes. But not Elvis great.
Doyle Bramhall III probably deserves a mention.
