Top 10 Best Blues Rock Singers

The Top Ten
1 Robert Plant Robert Anthony Plant (born 20 August 1948) is an English musician, singer, and songwriter best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the rock band Led Zeppelin.

Kinda agree with visitor. His natural voice is better than his singing voice.

Annoying falsetto. Natural voice is quite good.

Guess my favorite singer finally came to top, well I didn't put him on number 1 at first

2 Eric Clapton Eric Patrick Clapton is an English rock and blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream. He has also been a member of Derek and the Dominos.

As the only THREE time inductee into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, Clapton has done a lot more than just the song cocaine.

3 Stevie Ray Vaughan Stephen "Stevie" Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. In spite of a short-lived mainstream career spanning seven years, he is widely considered one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of music, and one of the most important figures in the revival of blues in the 1980s.

I agree about SRV's vocals; not the best blues voice that ever was but his guitar solos make up for that. He's pretty amazing.

4 Gary Moore Robert William Gary Moore was a Northern Irish musician, most widely recognised as a singer, songwriter, and virtuoso rock and blues guitarist.

I have a soft spot for this guy. I like his original stuff but also his covers: "The Sky Is Crying" (originally by Elmore James, 1959), and "Oh Pretty Woman" (originally by Albert King).
I have to add that Gary Moore guitar playing skills are even better than his vocals.

5 Johnny Winter John Dawson Winter III, known as Johnny Winter, was an American musician, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer.
6 John Mayall John Mayall is an English blues singer, guitarist, organist and songwriter, whose musical career spans over fifty years.
7 Joe Bonamassa Joe Bonamassa is an American blues rock guitarist, singer and songwriter. When he was only 12 years old, Bonamassa opened for B.B. King. He was born 8th May 1977. He is known to be one of the greatest blues guitarists ever.
8 B.B. King Riley B. "B.B." King was an American blues singer, electric guitarist, songwriter, and record producer.

Great, great voice.

9 Eric Burdon Eric Victor Burdon is an English singer-songwriter and actor. He was previously the vocalist of rock band The Animals and funk band War. He is regarded as one of the British Invasion's most distinct singers with his deep, powerful blues-rock voice.

Eric Burdon really deserves the first spot in this list. Eric Burdon is the voice of blues rock; he got the range, rawness, power; everything. Number 1. certainly!

Lead singer of The Animals, known for his deep voice and expressive delivery. The ultimate blues rock singer.

Heard on House Of The Rising Sun, The Animals and WAR frontman needs to be #1 on this list. FOR SURE. Go listen to this man; unbelievable, what a power he got.

10 Keith Relf Keith Relf was an English musician, well known as the lead singer for the psychedelic band The Yardbirds.

Suffered one of Rock-n-Roll's most spectacular deaths, when he was electrocuted in the bath tub while rehearsing with a plugged-in electric guitar.

As lead singer of the Yardbirds, he was the frontman for Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page, which is some pretty strong blues rock street cred.

The Contenders
11 Janis Joplin Janis Joplin (1943-1970) was an American singer who rose to fame as the main singer of acid band Big Brother and the Holding Company. She was known for her eccentric hippie style and psychedelic rock music.

13 Van Morrison Sir George Ivan Morrison OBE is a Northern Irish singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and record producer. In 2016, he was knighted for services to the music industry and to tourism in Northern Ireland.

Mr Morrison in a class by himself. Don't believe me? Listen to the Irish Blues band, "Them" from the sixties. Listen to his collaborations with John Lee Hooker on "Too Long in Exile".

14 Gregg Allman
15 Bob Dylan Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, author, and artist who has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for more than five decades.

Has no one heard of Gary? If you like the Black Keys then you'll like Clark.

19 Jack Bruce John Symon Asher "Jack" Bruce was a Scottish musician, singer and songwriter known primarily for his contributions to the British supergroup Cream, which also included guitarist-singer Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker.

Very similar to Plant, but it's undeniable how good he is.

24 Howlin' Wolf

If you haven't heard this guy sing, you should.

Have heard and liked a lot!

25 Taj Mahal Henry Saint Clair Fredericks, who uses the stage name Taj Mahal, is an American blues musician, a self-taught singer-songwriter and film composer who plays the guitar, piano, banjo, and harmonica, among many other instruments.

The thickest, richest, grittiest, gutsiest, most soulful and melodic male voice in blues since 1968.
