The vocalist of Cafe Tacvba, Ruben Albarrán, considered one of the best rock singers of all time by Billboard magazine, which defines him as “a shining beacon of musical brilliance. With an unmatched stage presence, and an uncanny ability to reinvent himself with every album release.”
The prominent magazine commented on Cerati: “Gustavo Ceratithe legendary leader of soda Stereo from Argentina, emerged in the 1980s as a transcendental figure, whose stage presence evoked a symphony of mystical allure.
His ethereal voice, which oscillated between a haunting vulnerability on songs like “Té Para 3” and a very high intensity on tracks like “Persiana Americana”, allowed Cerati to weave an emotional soundscape that captivated the audience in a fascinating embrace.
This list is headed by Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, followed by Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, Freddie Mercury of Queen, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. The list also includes prominent figures such as Bono, Robert Smith, Axl Rose, Steven Tyler, Eddie Vedder, Jim Morrison, David Lee Roth, Steve Perry, Janis Joplin, among many others.
The list of the 50 best rock singers of all time made by Billboard, who took into account, from the seven decades of rock history, the people who with their singing, with their composition, with their live charisma and with their indefinable presence have done a good job of spreading music around the world, serving as spokespersons for their bands and spokespersons for the genre.
