Rolling Stone Readers Pick the Best Lead Singers of All Time
Watch clips from the winners, including Robert Plant, Bono, John Lennon and Freddie Mercury
10. Kurt Cobain
The Nirvana frontman's career lasted only a handful of years, but he's inarguably one of the greatest songwriters of the past few decades. What's often overlooked is just how amazing a singer he was. Watch him sing "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" from Unplugged In New York to see a perfect example of his stunning vocal abilities. Few people have ever been able to match the passion and intensity he pours into the final verse.
