Patsy Cline had a voice I can listen to all day. Not really hard rock, though. I would say it's a tie between Linda Ronstadt and Mama Cass.

(For males, John Fogarty by a whisker over Mick Jagger.)

Maybe it was the huge crush thing at the time, but Cherie Currie, Joan Jett and Lita Ford were some of my favorites, and having them all at once in The Runaways was almost too much to handle.

I agree with several others here. Karen Carpenter has a great voice.
So does Ann Wilson. 2nd concert I ever went to was Heart.

I always liked Amy Lee; though best of all time? Maybe not. But I have a crush on her voice.

A bit off topic, but if you listen to the studio recording of “You’re So Vain”, you can clearly hear Mick Jagger singing backup vocals!

I mean, if we're going to include pop, soul, and r n' b singers, then nobody can touch Aretha.



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

Honorable mention to Bonnie Raitt & Debbie Harry.

Aretha if we're talking soul.
