The website added this explanation as to what went into making the list: “Its very important to note that this is not a list of the best rock singers of all time. This list defines the ’25 Best Rock Band Lead Singers’. There is a big difference between the two. We have also left out solo artists that are defined usually with a band. Such as Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band or Elvis Costello & The Attractions just as examples. Solo artists have also been left of the lists.
