Because Steve Perry isn't anywhere even close to Freddie Mercury in the talent department.
Psssst!!..she stopped readingNO ONE IS.
Most "best" lists for male vocalists will include people like Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney, none of whom have ever shown great vocal range or control. They're expressive and entertaining. But they ain't opera stars.
They also will always include Perry. BRIAN MAY of QUEEN said “Perry is a truly luminous singer, in my opinion—a voice in a million. And if anyone knows a great singer, it’s me.”
You don't have to like him to admit he has talent.
Bon Jovi nichknamed him "the Voice".
To put it another way, I cannot stand Mariah Carey, but I can't deny she has great pipes.
Besides Freddie - who DOES have a great voice in rock?

I don't remember who their vocalist was but Moody Blues had a good one way back when.
Unquestionably and without a peer both Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson tried singing "How Do I Get You Alone" -Ann Wilson

--but male vocalists?
It's amazing when you think about it - most of them aren't great.
He does have range, more than just about anyone else, but if no one wants to see you does it matter.If Mariah Carey was a dude and sang rock and roll, her (his) name would be Axl Rose. Don't @ me.
For women still active I think Amy Lee has a great voice.They're great, they're just not great enough to separate them from the pack. Robert Plant is great, but he's not Freddie Mercury great. Carrie Underwood is great, just not Ann Wilson great.
Has anyone mentioned Bob Dylan?
Pat Benatar for women vocals, Male - I always loved Ronnie James Dio, Geoff Tate, and the original singer of Helloween but can't think of his name.They're great, they're just not great enough to separate them from the pack. Robert Plant is great, but he's not Freddie Mercury great. Carrie Underwood is great, just not Ann Wilson great.
