Lzzy Hale from Halestorm has some serious metal/rock vocal talent. This is her doing a Ronnie Dio cover of “Straight Through the Heart”. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." - John Wayne in "The Shootist" | |||

She had a fantastic voice. That song was written by Dolly Parton. She said the first time she heard Whitney Houston's version, she was moved to tears and said 'now it's her song'. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Houston yells through half the song. She ruined it IMO. | |||

A lot of the names you're seeing aren't rock vocalists. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

Saw them a couple of times. Tulagi’s in Boulder and (I think) Ebbets Field. Those that don’t know Candy may know Tommy Bolin, although Jock Bartley played with them when I saw them. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Kudos to doublesharp for nominating Lou Ann Barton—Austin Blues (rock) legend. Loyalty to Arizonan, Stevie Nicks, causes me to believe she belongs at or near the top. Tina Turner, for sure. I appreciate that Ronnie Bennett Spector was nominated too. Since there is no “winner,” I’ll add a couple more. Taylor Momsen (band, Pretty Reckless) has a great rock voice. Danielle Nicolle—Trampled Under Foot and Danielle Nicolle Band. The late Dolores O’Riordan, Devil Doll (Colleen Duffy). Not sure if Etta James and Koko Taylor should be nominated since they’re more pure Blues, but then given that fact that...were nominated, hey _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

I second Ann Wilson and will throw in Pat Benatar for good measure. "The days are stacked against what we think we are." Jim Harrison | |||

I think of Janis Joplin as a blues singer, which is the only reason I give her a tie with Ann Wilson. Karen Carpenter is a better singer, but she's pop. I'm amazed anybody thinks Benetar or Jett better than Ann Wilson. | |||

I agree with this post. First name that popped into my head. Great minds and all that... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Too hard to pick one. Two that haven't been mentioned (although they fall in the Prog Rock/Folk Rock genres): Anne Haslam of Renaissance Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

I previously suggested Pat Benetar but would also like to suggest Amy Lee of Evanescence Icarus flew too close to the sun, but at least he flew. | |||
