i would take out bono from that and paul mccarthney as i really dont like them, dont like bowie either but he deserves his place in the list and i would add Roger Daltry to the list probably in the top 10 and drop Jon Bon Jovi down a bit

Our Freddie is a totally irreplaceable musical phenomenon and has just been recognized as such.His vocal/music writing and composing talents plus his solo work outside of Queen transcend those of any other in his field.His unmatched performance as a Rock Singer with Queen --think Live Aid 1985-- are beyond challenge. It is incredible what Freddie achieved in a tragically short career, before being cut down by AIDS in 1991. There was never any question in my mind that he was the best Rock Singer and now he has been judged the Greatest Rock Legend and rightfully so.He made Queen. Without Freddie the sound that was Queen would never have existed. Our precious tortured genius,gone too soon.
