After thousands of hours of intense listening to many many acts and after I saw him live two years ago - Ronnie James Dio is on the top of the hard rock genre for me, Bruce Dickinson is also impressive and has a very nice voice colour, Gillan was very cool before 73, then he somehow lost the magic. With Rob Halford we have another top singer in the game, although I never completely enjoyed the nature of his voice one must say that his range, feeling and live performing is also incredible.
From the younger ones I always enjoyed Chris Cornell, Maynard James Ferguson from Tool or Eddie Vedder (even they are also in or close to their fourties, seems like were all getting old)
