I certainly think so, although Mike Patton from Faith No More was great (but Faith No More was not really rock, they were grunge).

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Bono of U2 has the best singing voice of any rock band?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Uh, grunge IS rock, even though FNM is thought of as metal.
Maynard James Keenan of TOOL and Glenn Danzig could put Bono to shame.

Yeah Tool is good too!! I also liked Layne Stayley's voice of Alice in Chains. I would not call it a "good" voice per se, but it was unique.Serialized3 said:

Yo Troops,
I think Bono is great, but I tend to think of people like Lou Graham from FOREIGNER, Freddy Mercury from QUEEN, and Dennis Deyoung from STYX whenever I think of GREAT Rock singers.
Most of the guys I just mentioned exhibited a range of vocal ability that the "average" rock singer just doesn't have.
To me, screaming is NOT singing. A lot of this reverb, cacophony-laden, look who opened the garage and let out the band styled shyt that's passing for singing these days is LAUGHABLE.
I'm a huge U2 fan because they are old school, yet they keep it fresh. And the power of any good rock-style, singer's voice is demonstrated by his ability to sing AND scream while STILL maintaining the melodious quality that any other musical instrument would have.
But having said ALL that, I think that Bono is the shyt---mainly due to the vocal power that he has and the subjects that he and U2 sing about.
To me, what impresses me about Bono is the EMOTION in his voice and the phrasing of his words as he sings. I WILL say this though:
I don't think there is ANYBODY that is his equal in pure vocal emphatic-ness except for the legendary LED ZEPPLEN frontman Robert Plant.
Peace...one day.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yeah but he was so falsetto, it was sort of pathetic
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Actually, falsetto was only ONE vocal style that Freddy Mercury sang in. His vocal versatility was one of the things that made him unique to the rock world.
He was FAR more than just a "rock" singer. That group did so many different genres of music on each album that it was impressive. Not many rock groups could do justice to disco, soul, funk, opera, spanish concertos, rock and roll, rock-a-billy, gospel, and blues AT WILL.
And that type of musical versatility is sorely missing in the majority of rock music offerings today.
Anybody else here remember when rock music was ART, and an album was a cohesive unit that told a complete story?
And oh yeah, another great rock singer that I would put up there with Bono is Brad Delp from the group BOSTON.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Bono is a ****, i wish he would finally dissapear up his own arse once and for all.
Freddy was amazing and a better singer than just about any of them. But you really have to love the vibe or its boring.
Bono has an extremely unique voice, and he has to go close to being one of the greatest, but I agree U2 started to disappoint, I feel that Edge led them down mostly, stopped writing intriguing rock and roll, became far too sunny and schmaltzy,(and what the hell was that 'get on you boots'?) also Bono has struggled with his range, that was never a problem for him before.
Robbert Plant was awesome, say no more. But also I think John and Paul deserve mentions, particularly John, he makes his voice perfect for whatever style.
For me Maynard is the greatest there is, there are better singers for sure, but none as interesting, in the sound, or in the lyrics, or in world view etc. He just never bores me, where all the others do at some point.

Bono had the best voice in rock n roll from the early 80's (War, Boy, October, Wide Awake in America, Joshua Tree years) through Achtung Baby.
By the time they did the Pop album in the late 90's (garbage), Bono was starting to lose it and none of their millenium albums have impressed me.
But I still think you guys should dig back and give that old U2 a shot, that early 80's U2 sound (simple structure arrangements with ambient guitars) was really ahead of its time and I can hear that influence in so many of the big "pop" bands of today.

Maynard, by far, exceeds any singer in the past 20 years.
Who else can match his ephemeral scream in The Grudge? Who else is as poetically melodic as Maynard in Reflection?
No band since 1991 has captured the essence of raw power as Tool has.
None will.
Before Tool, I have to go with Don Barnes of .38 Special, Lou Graham (no other white man has the depth of soul of this cat), Huey Lewis, Robert Plant (The Zep years), and Jim Morrison.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
