No real criteria... don't have to be the 5 best ever... just ones who are especially good, whose voice is special (in a good way)... who you can tell who it is right away...

(doesn't have to be just rock either)

In no particular order

* Lennon

* McCartney

* John Fogerty

* Jack Bruce

* Roy Orbison

* Joe Cocker

* Janis

* Rod Stewart (even though he wasted his talent after the first few years)

* Levon Helm

* Steve Winwood

* Johnny Cash

* Willie Nelson

* Tracy Chapman

* Dylan (because it's very important to some of his songs)

I'm glad you put "Lennon and McCartney"... because that's really a third one :wink:

* Lennon

* McCartney

* Lennon-and-McCartney

Duh! Van Morrison... back when it was turntables, he was one of the few where I could just leave it on repeat...

Certainly not rock oriented...but the entirety of The Beach Boys.

I mean shhhiiieeeettttt: https://youtu.be/uLgZ6GD03-c

If you've got 9 minutes and want to hear a shitton of (awesome) backing vocals just to see how amazing they were vocally: https://youtu.be/X1mgHvH06Ck Keep in mind that shit was recorded in 1966 and '67 for the (eventually aborted and then re-imaged and put together) SMiLE sessions. It would have rivaled Sgt. Pepper's and changed pop music forever.
