Dick Dale? Though I don't think he sings, but his guitar work is still awesome.

Dennis DeYoung (former lead singer for Styx). Saw him a few months ago and at 60 his voice is still every bit as good as when he when a young pup. Still hits all the high notes and has perfect pitch. His overly-theatrical stage antics are a bit over-the-top but the dude can still sing like a bord.

Just thought of one glaring ommission. Even though he's only 59 he probably deserves early induction:
Ted Nugent

I actually got to see him twice on this tour. And he performed it both times!!! Super rare song.

True but out of the three I have seen Roger for the last three years and I can tell you he will still sound the same in one year

I am sorry, go listen again. Old people have raspy crackly off-pitch voices, can't even remember their own lyrics, and generally sound like they are tired of signing the same crap they have been for 30+ years. Good is good and old is bad. I will chalk up your opinion to nostalgic feelings, bias towards older music, and possibly poor hearing, but I assure you, sonically, old farts are shadows of their former selves.
<mock> I assure you my good man, SONICALLY, they are mere shadows, THEY ARE MERE SHADOWS.......THEY ARE.....THEY...</mock>

Am I missing something about my spelling or just my anachronistic way of putting things sometimes? Curious.
I think you may be taking me the wrong way, or at least whoever told me to go enjoy Linkin Park. The only Lincoln Park I like is spelled like that. Don't get me wrong. I like almost everyone mentioned here. I just would not buy their new albums or go see them live. It's quite disappointing to me. Old Farts that still have the chops is a contradiction in terms, and I am sure it is measurable as well. I'll look into it.
