Paul Rodgers has one of the best voices in rock music. Probably in my top ten greatest vocalist.

Best voice in R&R! Love all of his stuff.

The single worst exclusion from the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame is Paul Rodgers. How can one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time be excluded?

Interesting how Jimmy mimed the solo put Paul Rodgers had actually played it. 😆 I always thought that solo sounded a bit, well, rudimentary for Mr Page, so this admission 40 years later only surprises me in the fact that it has taken 40 years for it to have taken place. 😂

I am a "firm" believer in any group with two lead guitar players in it utilizing the talents of both players Paul and Jimmy should actually have made arrangements that included guitar harmonies.

I saw Paul Rodgers on a show and they listed 3 guitarists for the audience to vote on to be the best one he worked with....
Brian May, Jimmy Page, or Mick Ralphs.
I forgot who the audience voted for. When they asked Paul Rodgers who he would pick he said that he'd pick someone that wasn't listed...He said Paul Kossoff (Free), as they played together as teens and that they could practically read each other's minds and would know what to do instinctively.
