Don't want to be a bloody rock elitist, but some of the names you categorized as "rock" don't really fit to this category - to put it in a polite way.

[Hannah]

This thread is stupid.

[Guitar_Raph]

Let me guess...

Justin Timberlake, Nick Carter & Hanson. Least I didn't mention Jonas Brothers.

So what if this is a stupid thread. So I like to be creative.

[GK Punk]

Gilby Clarke, Juliana Hatfield, Kurt Cobain. All I can think of off the top of my head.

[Zog the Equalizer]

Dustin Kensrue, Dallas Green...others, but I can't think of them and need to get ready for work.

[Arcade Joe]

The first person that comes to my mind who sings and plays guitar really good is Rocco DeLuca...

I love Dolly Parton, she really rocks (or should I say "she countries") :).

[Kid Icarus]

Kurt Cobain, Kim Deal, Black Francis, J. Mascis, Lou Barlow.... And what the heck, Chris Cornell.

That Dave Grohl isn't too shabby either.

[Ninjinister]

[Guitar_Raph]

Miley cyrus! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! jk

Take it you saw the Hannah Montana movie. Also known by its parodies; Alaska Nebraska (Simpsons) & Susannah Louisiana (Drake & Josh).

Her dad (Billy Ray) is a southpaw gutarist (lefty). Can't believe that her dad once wrote a song that only uses two guitar chords that was a big hit
(Achy Breaky Heart).

Hanson's MMMBop uses only three guitar chords. Amazing.

[Voltron]

My favorite? Guitar Raph.

[Guitar_Raph]

My favorite? Guitar Raph.

Flattering, but thank you anyway.

I'm more into my vibes than guitar. Just play chords.

[Sewer Bull]

Can you put up mp3s with you singing and playing the guitar/vibes/tympani, Guitar_Raph?

A video on Youtube would be even better.

[Prowler]

[Oculus Orbus]

Kurt Cobain, I guess.

Also, Mark Arm from Mudhoney. He plays guitar sometimes, but not always.

[Barkworm]

Off the top of my head:

- Ben Harper: Great voice and his lap steel playing is awesome.
- James Hetfield: He's one of the reasons I got into rock music.
- Jerry Cantrell: One of my top three favourite song writers ever.
- Josh Homme: I just love his voice and his guitar playing. Very unique.

EDIT: These are not necessarily my favourite singers but they are singers I really like and whose guitar playing I LOVE.

[Buslady]

and many more

[Spitfire]

Alexi Laiho. Other then Megadeth Bodom is the only band I listen to regularly where the vocalist plays guitar. I like Megadeth and all but Dave's vocals can be laughable at times and some of his lyrics are cringe worthy. Granted all Bodom sings about is drinking and kicking people's asses they've managed to stay away from doing love songs.

[Samhain]

James Hetfield. The monster down picker.

[Guitar_Raph]

Justin Beiber, a southpaw guitarist.

The only time I saw him play was on that episode of True Jackson VP.

[Koschei]

Alexi Laiho- Children of Bodom
Old James Hetfield
Dave Mustain- Sometimes I dont like his vocals and other times I love it
John Gallagher- Dying Fetus: saw these guys last year, amazing. Most brutal 3 piece band.

[saiyan_monkey]

I have a new 1

Matthew James Bellamy

How many country singers don't play the guitar?

[Guitar_Raph]

Not only sings, plays guitar & drums, can also play keyboards, bass, upright bass, violin & the vibes. Another guitar/vibes player! How cool is that?

[Buslady]

I like this guy...with my gramma...he sings, guitar, bass, percussion...and he's my teacher. Because of him I kick ass on bass.

Arnie & My Gramma (who is his #1 fan lol)

True mark of a hipster dick.

[RaphaelsIsolation]

LoL, it's just everyone lists people that no one has heard of. Like it's on purpose...

By the way it's true that most people don't even know a front man's name, they just know the band.

... and it's just text... so take it the way you want to

I hope they do something together someday, that could be pretty rad.

[CaliperCat]

Ben Burnley, from Breaking Benjamin. I have an especial appreciation for him because he's got great advice on how to be a better guitar player if you dig around on YouTube. And he's completely supportive of covers, since he believes that's how you learn: So if, for some reason, any sort of performance of mine ends up on the Internet, I don't have to worry about him being pissed off.

And George Strait. Because he's George Strait. XD

Keith Urban is another really good one. Man, that dude can play! I don't think I'll ever obtain his level, but listening to him makes my heart happy.

Brad Paisley. He can do amazing this with his telecasters.
