Axl #7 @ PlanetRock's Greatest Voice in Rock [UPDATE]

[©GnrPersia]

We Did It Finally: Axl Rose is 7th Greatest voice in Rock     
Thanks to those who participated,



this is from Planet Rock Radio:

Throughout December 2008 we asked you to tell us who you thought had the Greatest Voice In Rock and thousands of you duly complied.

And the results are in...

With just under 10% of the votes to himself you named Led Zeppelin's iconic frontman, Robert Plant as the greatest rock singer of all time.

It's impossible now to imagine Led Zeppelin without that trademark howl, but Plant was famously the second choice singer for Jimmy Page in 1968. After Terry Reid rejected the chance to join the New Yardbirds he recommended Plant and the rest is, as they say, history. Plant went on to sell 300 million records as a member of Zep and as a solo artist, and with one of the most distinctive voices in rock that, as 2007's Zep gig proved, has aged pretty well you can't really argue against Percy's place at the top of the Rock Vocalist pile.

Meanwhile, Queen as a band also did rather well in the list. Original frontman Freddie Mercury came in at number two, while the band's current incumbent of the microphone and former Free and Bad Company singer, Paul Rodgers, came in at number three.

Similarly Deep Purple, Black Sabbath , AC/DC and Van Halen did pretty well with multiple singers in the list.

Thirty-two of the top forty are still performing today, while the youngest entrant in the list is former Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell who made the list at number 39.

And the only female representation in the top 40 is Janis Joplin, who is at number 21. Stevie Nicks and Grace Slick fell just short of the list.
