Best rock/pop musician who never sang?

Whom do you all consider to be the most talented/renowned rock/pop band member who rarely or never sang?

Even better if the nominated musician is also considered a talented songwriter.

Tom Morello is good, but he's not the best. I would have to think for the best.

Jimmy Page? Is this along the lines of what you're looking for?

Carlos Santana

Pretty much...basically, someone who was well-known as an amazing guitarist, or keyboardist, etc., but just could not sing (assuming it is true that Page couldn't sing).

That was actually my thought, although I am curious as to whom others might nominate.

the answer for the pop half of the question = The News.

Page came to mind first.

How much (if at all) did Richards sing?

I was never a Stones fan, but is Richards really in the same league as Santana and Page?

Guitar - absolutely not

Songwriter - certainly needs to be considered for their place in history

EDIT: their = the stones (not sure if that wa obvious or not)
