Favourite rather than best. Politics or song meaning aside. I would say Sinead O'Connor has a voice that's hard to beat.
Matt Bellamy, Morten Harket, Dave Gahan
Carl Wilson & the rest of 'em - greatest (non-autotuned) harmonising ever: https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=OvNXPkK7JY8
Pretty impressive beach boys video
Rod Stewart
That Irish looking chick from the Sundays.
Not boz scaggs
The guy from seldom scene who sings the highest harmonies ("rough and rocky" they throw it down pretty hard vocally)
Not Gwen Stefani
You don't have to like the music, and most people probably wouldn't, but the lead singer of Steelheart was out of this world, imo. Miljenko Matijević

Not everyone's cup of tea but fuck me if Messiah Marcolin didn't have absolute range. To think he was like 21 when this concert was filmed.
Robert Plant, Steve Perry off the top of my head.
Robert Plant has one of the most powerful voices in rock. Good choice
Not just powerful but emotive and used his voice as an instrument.
Dinah Washington.
Agnetta, ABBA
Feddie Mercury, Chris Cornell two of the greatest male vocalist ever.
Good call. Mercury had a decent voice, suited the music perfectly and of course was a brilliant front man.
