Axl Rose Is the Greatest Singer of All Time Based on Vocal Range, Research Finds05/20/2014 Although naming one's favorite singer of all time is a highly subjective matter, an interesting chart has recently surfaced, ranking vocalists from all genres based on their vocal range alone. And according to Concert Hotels, Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose is the greatest of the great, with an impressive range going from F1 to Bb6. Rose is followed by Mariah Carey, Prince and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Other notable vocalists in the upper part of the list whose presence might surprise you include Paul McCartney and Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Actually, the list features quite a few interesting tidbits and is well-worth checking out. Here's what Consequence of Sound singled out as some of the more interesting parts. – Although he sounds like "gargling gravel every morning," Tom Waits has a wider vocal range than Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks and Bjork. – Eminem and Lou Reed have the same exact vocal range, D2-F5. - Thom Yorke is ranked in the Top 10, having a four-octave vocal range. – Despite her "vocal powerhouse" status, Aretha Franklin only ranks at No. 37. She's even beaten by the likes of Kurt Cobain, Miley Cyrus, Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Thom Yorke. – Some of the artists whose vocal range might surprise you include Johnny Cash, Neil Young, John Fogerty and more. – Lorde's G#2-G#5 range beats out the likes of Whitney Houston, Adele, Alicia Keys and Katy Perry. Check out the list below for more details. www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/entertainment/axl_rose_is_the_greatest_singer_of_all_time_based_on_vocal_range_research_finds.html

Layne Staley should always be considered in the greatest vocalist of all time debate.

Layne Staley should always be considered in the greatest vocalist of all time debate. Definitely, so should Phil Anselmo. If you listen to early Pantera he used to sing kind of similarly to rob halford, and hit high notes like Halford and even kind of like Robert Plant, then when they changed their sound as a band he also introduced a different style of aggressive vocals that no one else was doing at the time. He really doesn't get enough credit because I guess people just think he only screams. He definitely has or used to have a wide vocal range.

I can't get over Mariah's "only dogs can hear" high notes. This must've been from her early years because she can't hit those notes anymore.

Agreed, anyone who thinks he is just screaming should try to sing it themselves, haha

When did "vocal range" alone make a great singer? Nah, no way. Not buying it.

^Exactly. My cat goes from a deep growl to an ear shattering yowl, so I guess he trumps Axl as the worlds greatest singer.

Someone posted something like this back on AF1 and what surprised me back then was Steven was rated as a tenor and was there with the likes of Pavarotti etc because he was a male tenor with a vocal range of more than one full octave without using falsetto or dropping to false alto or bass.
