I rather like the guy from Subway to Sally. He puts the guttural, rough-sounding German language in a new perspective by making it sound emotional and, dare I say it, romantic.
Shagrath actually is good... Attila on the other hand is god damn awful... easily the worst vocalist i ever heard... he is the low point of Mayhem's DMDS... wish Dead had recorded the vocals for that album instead...
No.... i haven't heard his other work and I don't know if I would because in order for me to buy any CD I would have to like the music overall and not just the vocals... but give me a clip from Youtube of his other work...

Me too, but then I would never have been exposed to Attila at all. I respect him for having such a vocal style in a genre that has Burzum/Darkthrone clones running rampant.
I wish Dead had too, Attila's the reason I never bought Dem Mysteriis, I can't get into his vocals, Maniac sounds like a lesser version of Varg Vikernes to me. The music I've heard on Dem Mysteriis is very good though.

It's an excellent album actually... a grower for sure and after a while you can sort of tune out Attila's babbling.

Jesse Pohjalainen

Jonas Renkse from Katatonia has a beautiful melancholic voice so he's one of my favourites.
Mikko Kotamäki from Swallow the Sun owns an amazing growl and a good clean voice too.
Aleksi Ahokas(FragileHollow, Rain Paint...)is very good too.
...and then there are people like Johnny Cash, Ville Valo, Jeff Buckley, Bruce Dickinson, Danny Cavanagh.

I'm surprised that no one has jumped on me yet for putting Dio down for least favorite vocalists. hehehe But I'm 100% serious, I hate his vocals.

Yes and so do a lot of people who don't go for the high-pitched cleans. Mainly all the anti-powermetallers.

I admit, I dislike the vast majority of power metal vocals. But I am fully aware that this is just a matter of personal preference. And I generally perefer harsh vocals to clean vocals, but that's just because I'm an extreme-metal head.

His vocals aren't particularly high pitched. I simply just don't like them at all. But then again, I don't like most power metal-ish vocals.
I was going to say something. Dio sounds old school and very good. I never thought of his vocals being high pitched or annoying like say power metal bands.

You've got it all mixed up. Shagrath sounds like a fucking frog, Attila sounds like a possessed person rantin' the words the demon inside of him is forcing him to say. He is fuckin' great - the ultimate BM vocalist in terms of creating an atmosphere.

I don't doubt it. He's got a very strong voice. For that style he is the man.
HOLY DIVAAAAAAHHH!
