15. Bruce Springsteen
16. Joe Cocker
17. Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath)

I don't think it's biased of me to think that Julian Casablancas of The Strokes should be on here. I mean COME ON! this is pure rock genius!

I'm glad they put Peter Gabriel on there instead of Phil Collins, Gabriel wipes the floor with Collins in every way possible.
I like this list, it's pretty comprehensive of rock styles.
I agree, but I feel like this list is a bit too British. like they didn't do justice to the equally rock worthy American voices.
Jimi Hendrix
Jim Morrison
Lou Reed
Chuck Berry
Joey Ramone!
Brian Wilson
Kurt Cobain
and where the hell is John Lennon?!
MICK JONES?!
it's an ok list. it could be better.
Black Francis/Frank Black
Kurt Cobain
...the list is too hair-metal oriented for my taste. I never found excessive talent there.
the Pixies! fuck yes. now that is iconic rock right there.
