Jagger must be up there from the rock side of things and for smoother sounds the late Levis Stubbs Four Tops.

Of the bands I have seen I would say Michael Stipe of REM in the 1980s. Perhaps surprisingly, though a poor singer, Billy Bragg is very engaging as a performer. Most disappointing was Chrissie Hynde.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I've been lucky enough to see Dave Gahan, Dave Grohl, Annie Lennox and Anthony Kiedis live.
There are so many superb frontmen/women.

My opinion would change daily, and how you define greatest would also be a broad brush. My personal choices as of today,that I can remember....

Greatest on stage entertainer:
Hard to look past Freddie Mercury, whether you like Queen's music or not, he was a showman. I agree with Jagger as a showman too, but personally as entertaining singers I have seen, Jarvis Cocker is up there for me.

Best all around vocals:. Ben Harper. Great vocal range with various styles (Reggae, rock, gospel etc). The only singer I have witnessed do a song live (Rise) acapella and literally nobody moved in the hall, not a sound, outside a funeral....put the hairs up all over.

Best female:. I love dirty, gravelly, voices(Stevie Nicks), and powerful rock voices (Ann Wilson), but my all time favourite is Kim Carnes. Her "Voyeur" album is a hidden gem in my eyes.

Here's one for all us aging rockers, Roger Chapman of Family.

Can't put a link up, I'm in work; perhaps someone could oblige, with 'Burlesque'?

Just randomly came across this at the weekend & it's been years since I've seen or heard anything so damned good.

Raw, authentic, bluesy, gospelly rock from a woman with the balls to get up there and "smash it" despite not having the figure and looks of all the manufactured pop Barbie dolls in the charts these days.

A bit of Jopling and Redding in there, but she's her own person.

Born in a junkyard (apparently), she suffers from synaesthesia (she hears colours!?), comes from a broken home and lost her beloved older sister to leukemia, and largely wrote this song in her head on a long traipse back to the highway after visiting her dad.

Oh, and she can play guitar (a bit).

Brittany Howard - top lass.

Turn that bloody volume up!

Lives up the road from me. Still tours, mainly in Europe - my mate (a Swans fan) is usually his stage monitor engineer.
