    Well, we have the best guitarists, bass players and drummers, all that's left is the lead singer. I know I'm probably gonna be mowed down with insults, but i think that Jim Morrison is one of my favourites. He's a messed up, drunken creep, but damn it, a hell of a good entertainer. My honourable mentions go to Robert Plant and Grace Slick.

    Robert Plant

    Janis Joplin

    If you don't think robert Plant was influenced by Janis, take a look at some footage of her, then look at some of Plant at his best. As Alice Echols says in Sweet Scars of Paradise, no female singer could begin to approach Joplin's level of intensity and ability, it was actually male rock frontmen, like Plant, who came closest to nailing her style and taking it further.

    Roger Daltrey (The Who)
    Roky Erickson (The 13th Floor Elevators)
    Iggy Pop (The Stooges)
