In the Zep thread Hiro11 nominated Robert Plant for this and I was wondering who else was wothy of the mantle. I think "staying power" is important i.e. how long have they been around and can they still sing. The first few alternatives that came to mind - admittedly with very little thought - were:

• Glenn Hughes
• Paul Rodgers
• Graham Bonnet

Opinions/Thoughts?

I pick Gregg Allman as my favorite.

I like Clapton's voice as much as his guitar.

Stevie Ray had a good blues voice.

Mick Jagger did some great blues.

Boz Scaggs on "Loan Me A Dime" is excellent.

What about Jimbo?

Deep Purple / Whitesnake's - David Coverdale has my vote.

My second choice:

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Chris Robinson of the black crowes

Rod Stewart

Michael McDonald

Steve Marriott

That's friggen hilarious.

That dude who fronted The Committments. Wow, what a voice.

He was sixteen when they filmed that movie.

Jeff Buckley, and his father Tim Buckley - though both were not necessarily considered "blues", perhaps.

I've gotta go with Boz Scaggs

as much as i hate to say it: Johnny Lang

I'll go with Jonny Lang!!!

SRV

Gregg Allman or SRV

Joe Cocker
John Mayall
Rod Stewart

Take your pick. Though either Cocker and Stewart could contend for the Blackest Voice to Eminate from a Caucasian award.

absolutely!!! also, how about Conway Twitty?

Tom Waits.

Eric Burdon
Bob Hite

Johnny Winter

Van Morrison

Another vote for Jonny Lang
