Well, Listening to Eddie Trunk's show on SiriusXM Volume, and on Wednesday, he's gonna give his top 5 favorite rock singers, and will also read lists from listeners as well. Here's my list that I sent in. This is insanely hard!!

5. Joe Cocker
4. Gregg Allman
3. Little Richard
2. Paul Rodgers
1. Glenn Hughes

That's off the top of my head. I'm aware that there's many more. I'm also not the best at ranking. All these that I picked are all great in my opinion.

Plant no good?!? Hmm....I will politely disagree on that one.

Top 5 favorite......that's a tough one. Gotta think on that one for a bit.


Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,

An OLD Gregg Allman singing Willin' on Southern Blood sounds pretty damn good.
