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

"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.
Bono of U2 has the best singing voice of any rock band?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

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.

"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.

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.

“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.
