What Are You Listening To?

One of the most debated topics in music is who are the greatest singers of the past 30 years. Whether you're a huge Whitney Houston fan, or you've never missed one of Mariah Carey's live Christmas concerts, the best <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-singer-of-the-year?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">modern singers</a> of the last 30 years are some of the greatest talents the world has ever seen. From Michael Jackson's perfect performances, to Freddie Mercury's incredible vocal range, music fans have gathered a list of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/20-greatest-singers?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best singers</a> of the last 30 years for you to rank.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who's one of the best singers of the past 30 years? For many, Madonna tops the list. When Madge arrived on the scene in the early '80s, she completely rocked the world of pop music with her third single, &quot;Holiday,&quot; and blew everyone away. She followed that up with hit classics like &quot;Lucky Star,&quot; &quot;Like a Virgin,&quot; and &quot;Material Girl,&quot; and the rest was history. Although his time on earth was short, Kurt Cobain revolutionized the grunge music scene with his gravely vocals and unruly guitar sounds. Cobain's unique combination of singing and screaming earned him a spot among the best on this list. &nbsp;Other <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-male-singers-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite singers</a> on this list include Celine Dion, Prince, Sting, Billy Corgan, and many others.

Ranking Top Bands and Artists

When VH1 polled fellow artists to name the greatest artists of all time, it seemed like a good idea---but in reality, the list was truly flawed. According to them, Coldplay is better than Pearl Jam, Mariah Carey is only greater than six artists, etc! Not to mention other impactful artists were left off of the list. So I thought that maybe we try the countdown one more time, only this time with the perspective of true music fans...YOU..

This list will begin in no particular order, you will see some names that didn&#39;t appear in VH1&#39;s version, no artist appears on the countdown twice, and the order is not my personal opinion (I personally think Bob Marley is the greatest artist of all time). If you don&#39;t like how the list looks, you have the power to change it. This list includes some of the <a href="/crowdranked-list/greatest-female-vocalists-of-the-past-10-years" target="_blank">greatest female vocalists of the past 10 years</a>, great <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-underrated-bands-2019/ranker-music" target="_blank">current bands</a>, and many of the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-rock-bands-of-all-time" target="_blank">best rock bands and artists of all time</a>. Many of them are <a href="/list/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-inductees/rockboy" target="_blank">in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame</a> - and some will be, eventually.

So many questions will be answered with the voting results on this list. Nirvana or Pearl Jam? 2Pac or Biggie? The Beatles or the Rolling Stones? Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston? Is Michael Jackson still the King or is Elvis the true immortal? Is Madonna still the undisputed Queen of Pop? Does anyone rock harder than Hendrix? Are Jay-Z and Beyonce the most powerful couple in music history? It&#39;s up to you to decide!

The best rock vocalists of all time are the frontmen and leading ladies&nbsp;of our favorite rock bands, or those solo artists whose voices are some of the best ever. These talented men and women of rock could easily captivate audiences with just their vocals. Their voices set them and their bands above the rest and define them as the best rock singers of all time.&nbsp;

To be included on this list, the vocalists must be primarily known for their association with rock music and (obviously) must have a great voice. That really doesn&#39;t narrow down the many greatest rock singers in recent rock music history, though a certain few stand out as above and beyond all the rest. Greats like Robert Plant, David Bowie, Steve Perry and Neil Young come to mind, as do icons like Bono, Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen.

While there are many notable vocalists of today&#39;s rock music, arguably many of the best rock vocalists of all time are those from earlier generations. Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury from Queen, John Lennon from The Beatles, Jim Morrison from The Doors, and Bob Dylan are only a few of some of the best rock vocalists ever, but also some of the most influential singers of all time. Freddie Mercury especially had an amazing voice and was ranked second only to Mariah Carey by <a href="/list/mtv_s-best-voices-in-music-ever/music-lover">MTV for the best voices in music ever</a>.

A perfect combination of range, power, articulation and control is needed to become one of the <a href="/list/rolling-stones_-100-greatest-vocalists-of-all-time/music-lover">greatest vocalists of all time</a>. All of those can be taught but the natural ability to have that golden voice, as all of these great rock vocalists possess, is nothing that can be learned. Do you think that one vocalist or rock singer should be above another? Then vote for your favorite rockers below!

Remember, bands and musicians are only eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their debut album, so popular acts from the late &#39;80s, &#39;90s or &#39;00s would not yet be eligible.

Remember when sex was safe and motorcycles were dangerous, and every rock song had at least a half assed decent guitar solo, and people were doing real drugs and not bath salts? Well, this is a tribute to the music in a time when America was simply about life, liberty, and the pursuit of SEX, DRUGS, AND ROCK-N-ROLL! That said, guitar rock may not be as popular as it was in the past, but that doesn&#39;t mean that in the genre&#39;s heyday, there weren&#39;t albums that transcended genres, music types and connected with fans from all over the globe. For starters, who can forget the entire Led Zeppelin catalog? Jimmy Page&#39;s bonecrunching riffs and Robert Plant&#39;s howls brought heavy blues chords to the mainstream while establishing the band as one of guitar rock&#39;s greatest bands.

There are so many influential albums and top guitar albums here that it&#39;s impossible to list them all right here. But so many of the biggest bands in the world populate this list and all of the biggest guitar players in the world are rightfully present on here. Their mere presence alone means that their particular album is going to rock. You have dudes like Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, Tony Iommi and Stevie Ray Vaughn amongst others whose guitar prowess is showcased on so many of these albums.&nbsp;

So what are the best guitar rock <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-albums-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">albums of all time</a>? You&#39;ll notice Led Zeppelin II, Are You Experienced and Couldn&#39;t Stand the Weather, but there are so many more. If you think something including amazing guitars is missing, feel free add that album to this list. Vote and re-rank to how you deem it to be fit.

When it comes to 2021&#39;s most popular music&nbsp;artists, who do you think takes the cake as the most famous singer in the world? While we all have our own idea&nbsp;of who the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/20-greatest-singers" target="_blank">best singers of all time</a> are, the most famous takes a little more into account. Sure, many of these popular singers could also be considered the best ever or&nbsp;the best of their time, but talent isn&#39;t the only factor in determining the most famous singers in the world right now. In determining who&#39;s number one, you might also consider who often makes the headlines in 2021, who releases the most chart-topping songs, or even who has the best image.

With all of this in mind, singers like Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and The Weeknd&nbsp;could all top the list of popular singers out right now. However, these big names are just a few of the world&#39;s most famous current singers.

For some bands, a debut album may be their best work or even their only work. More than a few break up after their first effort. For many others, it may be their best work and they may end up being <a href="/list/greatest-songs-by-one-hit-wonders/ranker-music">one-hit wonders</a>. Not many artists continue to find more success after initial efforts.

For the purpose of this list however, we only care about that first seminal album. So vote for the artists that you think have the very best debut albums of all time. No sophomore albums allowed.
