    Richie Kotzen
    Steve Overland (FM)
    Bobby Kimball of Toto (back in the day)
    Brian Johnson

    On the softer side, Steve Perry & Deen Castronovo (drummer) of Journey - listen to the latter singing 'Mother Father' or 'Separate Ways'. He sounds like the former

    Already mentioned, but absolutely worth mentioning again:

    Freddie Mercury 
    Paul Rogers
    Chris Cornell
    Robert Plant

    However, I can’t believe we’re three pages in and no-one has yet mentioned Jack Bruce.

  • Steve Marriott could belt a song out like no other
    Rod Stewart in The Faces - Stay With Me is a good example
    Paul Rodgers in Free and Bad Company was pretty astonishing

    Slightly left field choice but I’m having a real REM period again lately and I’ve always thought part of the quality of their sound was Mike Mills backing vocals.
