he was awesome..I think Jeff Tate is a little bit better though.
My favorite as you know is Robert Plant...but I have no issue with saying Jeff Tate and Freddy where Technically better singers.
I would say Jeff Tate, Bruce Dickenson, Freddy Mercury, and the Guy from Flotsam and Jetsam..(Eric A K I think his name is)
are "technically" the best of the best.
they have the absolute best range, can carry insanely long notes, at least 2 of them were trained in Opera Singing( I am sure you know which 2)
Robert Plant is right behind them though.
