The third greatest vocalist in rock, outclassed by Freddie Mercury and Jeff Buckley. Not only did he perform in Deep Purple, he was the original Jesus of "Jesus Christ Superstar"
Ian Gillan gave us the screaming vocals on "Child in Time," "Gethsemane," and "Lazy."

Get the Ian Gillan mug.
Ian Gillan is actually the second greatest rock vocalist, outclassed only Robert Plant.
Elizabeth: "Wow, listen to that voice, I think it's the greatest rock voice ever. It must be Ian Gillan"

Natalie: "If it's the greatest rock voice ever then it must be Robert Plant, the man with the greatest voice in rock.

Elizabeth: "Natalie, you are right. Robert Plant has the greatest voice in Rock. Although very good, Ian Gillan only comes second"
