Scott Weiland IMO has about the same range as AXL. They both can sing a lot of different styles.

Lead singer of Boston would have blown everyone away in the rock n roll category.

Bjork is my favorite vocalist on that list and she only has a vocal range of two octaves.
It’s a matter of opinion, no one would argue that John Lydon has a
great voice... but there’s not a better sound for Public Image Ltd.

It's not so much the range but how you use the vocals within the range. To your point AA, Axl was the perfect fit stylistically for a band like GnR who also happened to have a dynamic vocal range. However, no one will ever convince me that Axl was a better vocalist than Elvis, Marvin Gaye, Freddy Mercury, Bono, Robert Plant, etc.

Link didn't work for me. . . If, Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson isn't in the top 20 list. Then the list is BS.
