Steve Perry - hands down untouchable

Freddie Mercury - no one like him, ever before or ever again

Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night - his voice reminds me of Steve and he cites Sam Cooke as an influence

Robin Gibb - totally unique voice, instantaneously recognizable

Great list - covers a lot of area -

First time I have seen Linda Perry on anyone's list - she was excellent in 4 non-blondes .... now she is
mostly writing and producing some nice young talent!!

Glenn Hughes.

If you haven't seen him live you won't know why I've put him at the top of my list - if you have, then you've seen the light.... And before anyone farts, I know this is a Journey forum but Perry does not have to top this list.
