Gildenlow for sure. No comparison. Although I am a big fan of Akerfeldt's death growls, his clean singing isn't nearly as nice as Daniel's.

Ok, PoS seem to be so fucking popular here, and so far in my life I have totally failed to get why. Could somebody reccommend to me the best PoS album to get/start off with? I feel like I'm missing out on major goodness!

Jørn sings for:ironbeard said:
Ark (now defunct, their 2nd album "Burn The Sun" is amazing and was on Mikael's playlist at one point)
Masterplan (2 albums, i prefer the first one)
Allen/Lande (duo with Symphony X's singer)
And his solo work, which is more or less just metal, but quite good.
I agree about Khan, he has a great voice.
I wanted to add before, (but didn't because I wanted to keep the replies concentrated on the two in the title), Dan Swanö (of many bands, notably Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath, Nightingale, Unicorn) & Russell Allen (of Symphony X)

If you want to hear his vocal awesomeness:Liquid Diamonds said:
12:5 - the acoustic live album of some of their better songs.
BE - the insanely weird genre defying comsic concept album about life the universe and everything. most people either love this one or hate it.
The Perfect Element I - all around good album.
Remedy Lane - all around good album.
One Hour By the Concrete Lake - all around good album.
Entropia - debut album, good stuff, not as polished as later work.
but thats my opinion.
Kenneth R. Thanks for the suggestions on Lande. I have to check this guy out. POS 12.5 is a phenominal album, you be hard pressed to hear that it is a "live" album. Very well done. So is "One hour by the Concrete Lake." Gildenlow was quoted as saying, "In metal too many vocalists sound the same, like guitarists no variation. What I try to do is offer various vocal segments and styles." IMO, that is what making true art is about. Peace.

I like Johan Hegg's vocals... He seems to make his death screams so... emotive and capturing ... atleast for me.

The answer to this question is Devin Townsend.
Never understood the hype behind PoS; to me they just sounded like a more tasteful Dream Theater with a better singer.

gildenlöw has a wider local range, but he cant help being sound like a girl at times...the REALLY high notes make me cringe and make the music sound REALLY REALLY cheesy. thank God i didnt hear many of them in BE.

It took a while for me to understand their genius, the cheesiness and megalomania can turn off many people at first, but I'd say it's worth the try, since now they are one of my favourite bands. 12:5 is definitely a good starting point, though all their albums are great. Be sure to listen a whole album, since they're all concept albums... But don't begin with the song "Used" since it's a load of crap, their worst song IMO.

To me, the best metal vocalists out there are/were:
Mikael Åkerfeldt
Ozzy (in his early Sabbath days)
Marco Hietala (Tarot)
Devin Townsend
King Diamond
Dan Swäno
Heri Joensen (TYR)
Grutle (Enslaved)
Katla (ex-Finntroll)
Tom S. Englund (Evergrey)
Mr. Vintersorg
Christofer Johnsson (Therion)
Messiah (Candlemass)
Tom G. Warrior
Janne Christoffersson (Spiritual Beggars)
Those are the ones that come to mind, at the moment. I'm not too big a fan of Gildenlöw, although he is very talented.
Some of my favorite non-metal vocalists:
David Coverdale
David Gilmour
