The Best Singing Voice in Rock History

as told to me (Chris Bro) via a rather unscientific poll on Facebook and Twitter.

I think they (the NEXTers) did a pretty good job. Not one mention of Sting though?

I asked for their 3 favorite rock singers. We received almost 70 responses. Thank you NEXTers for your thoughtfulness (only one joke comment and that was from a local radio station’s DJ).
