Rolling Stone Readers Pick the Best Lead Singers of All Time
Paul Hewson's nickname was originally Bono Vox, which translated from Latin into "good voice." He's long since shortened it to Bono, but the sentiment remains. He does indeed have a very good voice.

Here at Billboard, we’re taking a moment to honor those front-of-stage greats: The rock and roll singers who elevated their bands to stratospheric heights, and inspired entire generations of vocalists to follow in the paths they blazed. These are the most legendary avatars from rock’s seven-decade history, the folks who — with their singing, with their songwriting, with their ineffable live charisma and particularly with their undefinable, all-encompassing presence — have done the greatest job of spreading the music’s gospel to all corners of the world, serving as mout
