Here you go, fight among yourselves.  I would have put money on Jeff Buckley to lift the trophy (with, e.g. Grace), but what do I know.  8-)

I wouldn't even call Axl Rose a singer!   ::)

Curiously, the lowest note for Freddie Mercury was a track he didn't sing lead vocal on, so I'm assuming they must have gone for backing vocals, but interesting that both his lowest and highest notes are on the same album, News Of The World, and his highest note comes in perhaps Queen's greatest rock track, It's Late.

An album I purchased after hearing the track Hallelujah.  I can't honestly say I've played it that much, but may dig it out now you've reminded me, Rod.   8-)

I agree Clive but I would (of course) add Elvis to that.  8-)
Fourth in the 2018 Quiz of the Year but at least I beat Clive.

Same here  ;D   Does screaming count then

so does that also mean according to that list that Axl can hit a lower note than Barry White  :o
