Johnny Cash
David Bowie
Alice Cooper
Donovon
Frank Zappa
My order is the way I listed them although the first 2 are the only ones I’ve listened to every song by.
I had to Youtube the bottom 3. I know who they are, but not much about their sound.
David Bowie
Johnny Cash
Alice Cooper...Here's a really cool old song, before he went full on rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlxcI-Ejkbs
Donovan
Frank Zappa
Yeah I love that song!

Cash
I don’t care enough for the rest to rank them, and for me none deserve to be mentioned alongside those two pioneers.
I could’ve sworn there was a quote from Bowie saying “if I’m a genius what does that make Frank Zappa”.

Alice Cooper- Ballad of Dwight Fry, Hello Horray, You and Me, Black Widow, We’re all Crazy
Frank Zappa- Who Needs the Peace Corps, Who are the Brain Police, How Could I Be Such a Fool
Donovan- Happiness Runs, Sunshine Superman, Hi It’s Been a Long Time, Jennifer Jupiter
The songs of theirs that I think are on the level of those 2 guys.
Strictly on vocal performance, or on overall performance?
On vocal performance, I'd say
Johnny Cash
David Bowie
Donovan
Frank Zappa
Alice Cooper
On overall performance,

Zappa and Cooper were a bit of a guess because I haven't heard much of either.
