Axl Rose Voted Best Lead Singer Of All Time 

By Stacey Taylor

 

Everyone make sure this news doesn't find its way to Axl Rose because lord knows it'll only puff up his already massive ego.

The readers of MusicRadar.com have voted the Guns N' Roses main man the best singer of all time in a new poll that was released yesterday. Rose somehow managed to best both Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant in the poll. Those legendary singers came in second and third place, respectively.

When you can get more votes than both the guy who fronted Queen and Plant, both with impressive pipes (or who had, in Mercury's case, since he's dead), that's pretty serious business. But again, nobody tell Axl because it'll probably just result in even further set time delays.

Elsewhere, two Beatles made the list, with John Lennon coming in at #5 and Paul McCartney in a distant 10th place. Ronnie James Dio and Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson round out the '80s metal components to the list, taking #4 and #6. Kurt Cobain, Thom Yorke and Matt Bellamy of Muse also made the top 10.

Here is MusicRadar's list of the top 10 singers of all time:

1. Axl Rose
2. Freddie Mercury (Queen)
3. Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)
4. Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath, Dio, Rainbow)
5. John Lennon
6. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
7. Thom Yorke (Radiohead)
8. Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
9. Matt Bellamy (Muse)
10. Paul McCartney (The Beatles, Wings)
