Steve Hogarth of Marillion!
(I'm a shill, yeah. But I really mean it. The guy's voice is incredibly moving and powerful.)
Robert Plant captures the essence of rockin'.

Bono and Sting are another too. Bono's voice has a raw quality. Sting is light, but carries the intelligence of his lyrics.

I'm not a big who fan but Roger Daltry has to be one of the best.

Scott Stapp.
Yes, he's an ego-maniac but he can sing.

Bono and Daltrey occurred to me after I posted my initial thoughts. I'd still put Plant ahead of them for "rockiness," though. Peter Gabriel is a favorite, too. And James LaBrie of Dream Theater. While I like the uniqueness of Jon Anderson of Yes, I don't really consider him a "rock" vocalist.

Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes is very unique.

Lou Gramm from Foreigner is very unique as well.

Kurt Cobain sounded like crap live but he recorded very well. He had a very unique way of torturing his vocal cords that not many people had done previously.
If sounding like crap live is a disqualifier, then I'd have to say either Freddie Mercury or Steve Perry as well. Both were amazing vocalists.
Although David Lee Roth had a distinct voice too (but, yeah, he could sound like crap live from time to time).
If girls are in, I'd say Janis Joplin.

If girls are in, I'd say Janis Joplin. On that note, a general question... Why does every female that does karaoke feel the grueling need to sing "Me & Bobby McGee" and horribly imitate Janis? |

I could never stand Janis Joplin's voice to me it's like someone driving a nail through my head. Anybody who imitates Janis Joplin no matter how bad is an improvement IMO. My boots are made for walking by Nancy Sinatra seems to another popular song for women at karaoke nights |
