Not many people know about Ben Orr but he was the better of the two IMO.

True...Ric Ocasek even said once that if they needed a cleaner, more professional sounding vocal Ben Orr did the singing...Ric did if they wanted a more "quirky" sounding vocal (e.g. You Might Think")

Sid Vicious didn’t sing. He didn’t really do anything, for that matter. Basically the Elvis of bass players.
Sid was only good for killing his girlfriend....although maybe Rockets Redglare actually killed Nancy.
Johnny Rotten had no voice, but he got the job done with attitude and snarl.

Billy Davis Jr. is a motherfucker of a good singer....maybe not truly a rock singer, though.

Either:

1) you haven’t heard much Elvis
2) you haven’t heard much Cornell
3) you’re retarded

No one with knowledge of the two, and a fully functional brain pan would consider Elvis a better vocalist.

Ben also made fewer fans throw up while standing at the mic

The band wasn't productive for very long, but Kim Wilson of the Fabulous TBirds had power to spare and also could sing with tremendous nuance.
His interpretation of Wrap It Up puts Sam and Dave to shame IMHO, and that's saying something cuz those gentlemen knew what they were doing.....
