[leigonX]

I did a search and didnt find a thread on this so:

1. Bruce Dickinson

(rest in no particular order)

Geoff Tate
Maynard James Keenan
Sebastian Bach
Matt Barlow
Hansi Kürsch
Mikael Akerfeldt (of course)
Shagrath (for black metal at least)
for starters...

 

[Goober]

You know, there just arent many that are better than Mike. Dan Swano of course is great, but i just LOVE Renkse's Live Death metal voice......its just so powerful and straight forward, but i never liked his recorded growls on the albums too much.

Swallow the sun's Mikko Kotamäki could rival Mikael imo.. his clean singing is just as beautiful as his growling is brutal.

 

[Khayman666]

Akerfeldt
Renkse
Blakkheim
Tagtgren
Dickinson
Halford
Tenkula
Laihiala
Townsend
Dio
Vincent (at least in Covenant)

 

[AnewKINDofFEELIN]

Max Cavalera deserves mention.

 

[opeth8]

Layne Staley ( My All-Time favorite singer)

Chris Cornell ( Not really metal anymore ???)

Robert Plant ( I guess he's more rock than metal, but his voice is timeless)

Lots of great voices in the power metal scene also.

Akerfeldt is quite the growler, but it's his clean vocals that I really enjoy. Great tone to his voice.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

Mike
Maynard
Russell Allan
early Phil Anselmo (when he could still metal SCREAM)
lennon/Mccartney

This is keeping it just to metal. I have others though.

who is Jørn??? He was on Mike's playlist a while back.

He is a Norwegian vocalist for:
