Best Punk Rock Lead Singers

At least number 1 is correct, I can ignore all the rubbish underneath. The top 5 should be 1) Lydon/Rotten
2) Ramone
3) Strummer
5) Danzig
6) Vanian
Without those 5 Punk Rock wouldn't of made it to global success.
The voice of punk! With out his snarling, fantastic vocal style there wouldn't be a Billie Joe Armstrong or any list of vocal imitators.
John Lydon? Pfft. It's supposed to be a list of the best punk rock lead singers. Not a list of the biggest wankers ever.

Not only influenced punk rock but every other genre. I think he is up there with members of The Beatles. I can't believe Green Day and Blink 182 is in here that's not even punk it's poser.
Billy Joe whatever from Green Day ahead of a real punk rocker like Joey?
He stands above the rest. Joey's the best.

And He is a darn fine Ukelele player as well!

I love his singing style. Amazingly fitting. My all-around favorite singer, probably.
The true voice of American hardcore, what a legend.

CHARISMATIC always seems so comfortable on stage, so revealing in his raw emotions while on stage, supportive of his fans and it's clear that he believes in what he does. Inspiration to any beginner guitar player or singer. Even through the band's most unsure and unstable time, he and the rest of the band pushed through, showing endurance and true friendship among them.
Punk rock is often labeled as music for people that can't sing or play an instrument. But this guy is very talented, not only can he sing but he can also lay down piano, guitar (rhythm and lead) harmonica. His best vocals are all on 21st Century Breakdown. He's a great musician and an incredible lead singer
Apart from the fact that he is a great composer and has a great voice, Billie is the one singer that inspired me into being myself and do what I enjoy most, not caring about what others think of me. I definitely agree with this ranking, thank you Billie Joe for everything!



Honestly his voice now days is pretty bad. But this is a best of all time list. And if you talk about 90s-early 2000s tom his voice is no doubt number 1. If you don't believe me look up the song dick lips and witness a true punk rock voice
Personally I don't understand how tom is second on this list. His voice honestly isn't that great but it is something I've never heard before
His voice isn't even that amazing in my opinion, but he still manages to be one of my favorite singers somehow.


Brilliant, distinctive voice, great songs and a super band. Joe should be higher up!
Billie joe armstrong on number 1? Get real!

Mr Way earns my vote because of how unique his vocals are. Definitely not your typical everyday vocalist; the way you *think* the lyrics will be sung are in actuality sung completely different.
He seems to not really follow a set "rule", no guidelines for his songs...He does a lot of different things with his voice and doesn't seem to try too hard to make the vocals line up with the music (which is part of what gives it such a unique sound). His vocals can stand alone and apart from the stand alone music, but when combined with the (almost completely different tuned) insturmental, it's amazing.
I actually don't even like his singing voice all too much. I'm in love with what he does with his voice. Up or down, soft or loud, it's always unexpected and refreshing.
And also the way he gives the song exactly the right emotion, exactly what he wants you to feel while listening--a lot of vocalists cannot do that. He puts extreme emotion inyo his singing too; its all or nothing with Gerard.
I'm not too good at explaining things but...That's my thoughts I guess. -M

His unique voice reminded me of Lennon on Please Please Me, Sum 41 is growing big and mature, and his lyrics and voice are a big part of this change. Long live Sum 41
So GOD! Simply the best punk band of all time
The bad thing about him is that he almost died from alcohol but he is an amazing lead singer

He's the most amazing musician in the world. His lyrics have a magical way to get stuck in your head and your heart. The dude has a Ph.D, a pilot license and his own hot sauce. Sure he's old, but he's in his 50's, give him a break. The Offspring have the best selling album on an independent label! They kick Green Day's America idiot ass.
His voice is so catchy that he can basically make any song enjoyable to listen too. Also, his voice is so unique that no matter what song you hear you know its him; making him one of the better singers! Timeless!
This voice though.

His voice is just orgasmic in all ways! Can sing quiet, loud and even scream.
One of the most insightful punk rock vocalists of all time.
Inspirational lyrics. Great voice. Good heart.

Great singer and actor. Never tire of listening or watching Iggy!
The man who started it all...

I like all the classic punk bands: Ramones, Green Day, Clash, and Sex Pistols.
It's Joey Ramone not Johnny. Johnny is the guitarist Joey is the singer.
He is a guitarist. Not a singer. I doubt he even did backing vocals.



He has an awesome voice, great vision and takes no crap from anyone.
Glenn should be number one, in my opinion.
Great all around singer period.

I like tom better than matt he made blink 182 however tom will be the original blink 182 lead singer

How in any way is Linkin Park a punk band?
The complete technique.

By far the greatest female voice in the entire music industry. Pure, real, and flawless.
Such a badass and sticks up for Jeremy and Taylor! What more can I say?

Tim deserves to be way higher.

Soul voice 101 extremely talented and has such a big vocal progression over his career. Iconic and talented
Listen to his voice...

Why so low down!?! So amazing love there new song kids in the dark!
Great voice! And amazing lyrics. Deserves to be in the top 10.
