Yeah, Chris Isaac is great Hehe, early rap and hip hop are ok So is much techno.. but I agree with you on the opera thing God, that's far more headache inducing than any metal ever will be

Well, any kind of Rap and Hip Hop is like for me. Thrown in here and there in songs, I don't mind, buuuut...

Techno: that constant badam-badam-badam... I suffer real migraine anyway, so one form of it is enough, don't you think? Hehe...
I prefer some atmospheric Trance and Ambient instead.

And Opera is fine with me, as long as it's instrumental... gosh... What was I just saying about migraine...

Anyway, to each his own....

There is no "Instrumental" Opera, that is a contradiction in terms. There is always singing in opera, since it's something of a theatrical play and there have to be dialogues.

In hip-hop and rap, I have to agree that I don't know any exceptional singers since the actual "singing" is not a great part of the songs. It's more spoken words and I believe that in these genres the lyrics matter a lot more than the voice.

As for favorite vocalists, there are a lot but the first place i think is a tie between Jan-Kenneth and Kriss Rygg

I definitely agree with that one. Laihiala from Sentenced is another damn good clean vocalist.

Well, although I like some later stuff, I'm a fan of really early hip hop like Herbie Hancock.. when he did it it had jazzz and funk influences, and there was no rapping It's just that a lot of people started using it to rap to.. etc.

Techno: that constant badam-badam-badam... I suffer real migraine anyway, so one form of it is enough, don't you think? Hehe...

Trance and ambient are great, so is techno Hehe, if you don't like the techno bass never listen to gabber That's pretty hadache inducing as well

Anyway, to each his own....

Indeed, a concept many metalheads seem to have remarkable trouble understanding Which is a shame because (as you obviously know ) they are missing out on a lot of good music..

Nobody mentioned Kjetil Nordhus yet, the singer from Green Carnation . He has an amazing voice! But i also like the above mentioned Lars Eric Si, Matt Barlow and Warrel Dane very much and of course Mr. Vintersorg for having an interesting voice

Russell, i thought Nordhus sounds like Ozzy at times too! When i first got "LoDDoD", i was trying to explain the vocals to a lot of friends and that was all i could come up with. Great album, my favorite of the year.

Dainel Heiman from Lost Horizon What a voice!! Just amazing, I also love Hansi Kursch, WOW! Bruce Dickinson of course, Matt Barlow, Harry Conklin, Tony Kakko..... Ummmmm... It's late... so I cant think of a whole lot right now, my brain isnt working to it's full potential, but I would give my middle toes to sing like any one of these guys! I say my middle toes, because they seem pretty useless

Maynard from Tool has the best voice in metal.

Mikael from Opeth is a close second.

Kai Hansen - Gamma Ray... even thouh he's new to vocals, 6 years only, actually... it's hands down for me...
