One of a very small number of vocalists who are perfect for rock. No order here but I love Paul Rogers and classic Winwood. And Paul Rodgers still sounds great. It's crazy. I could dedicate the rest of my life to becoming a vocalist and I might be able to get to something like 1/100th of how good he still sounds. I think it's something about his natural range, and just how effortless it is for him within that range. Same with Daltrey. Never, ever sound strained either of them.

Also I think at a young age Rodgers dedicated himself to taking care of himself. Sure during the Free and Bad Company days he had fun. But he didn't over tour and destroy his voice like others.

Looking at you, Mssrs. Paul Stanley & Ian Anderson...

And Rodgers witnessed what happened to Paul Kossoff. Good reason to stay away from drugs and taking care of oneself.
Daltrey was always a health/fitness nut. And he had Keith Moon in his band to show him what could happen.
Townshend, on the other hand, may be more talented (as a songwriter), but I think he was very lucky making it this far (he'll turn 79 in May). It seems he simply had to try everything that was available to him; plus, I personally feel that I didn't need to read about Mick Jagger's dick "being huge and extremely tasty". (Townshend's obsession with Jagger & the Stones seems borderline unhealthy to me. IMHO he's a million times the songwriter Mick is, and I prefer Daltrey's vocals and microphone swinging over Jagger's fake southern accent & his St. Vitus' dance "moves".)
