As far as male vocalists a couple I don't think were mentioned but worthy of note are Neil Young, Nick Lowe, and Roy Orbison.

Post #4. Amy Lee of Evanescence.

Roy Orbison was a great singer but calling him Rock is a bit of a stretch.

Lowe and Young are a matter of taste. They wouldn't match up vocal skill wise in most people's minds.

Just like Janis. It's more style than ability.

Ronstadt on the other hand is very exceptional.

Both Pat Benatar and Ann Wilson smoke Slick and it isn't even close.

She wasn't even the best vocalist in her own band.
