[Caveman Ninja]

I wish to contribute Janne "JB" Christoffersson from Grand Magus (and ex-Spiritual Beggars).

 

[D.Ingram]

Sy Keeler still Also, Devin muthafuckin' Townsend.

There're a shitload to be fair, it's harder to pinpoint great singers than it is to do the same with guitarists or whatnot.

 

[Darkofeden]

Joey Belladona

He's been my absolute favorite for a few months now.

 

[Caveman Ninja]

He's been my absolute favorite for a few months now.

He tears it up on the new album!

 

[dethCR07]

Daniel Gildenlow
Peter Tagtgren
Russell Allen
Mikael Akerfeldt
Phil Anselmo

 

[Darkofeden]

He tears it up on the new album!

He sounds so great on the new one! Can't believe the dude is 50 and still sounds so damn good!

Joey Belladonna
Matt Drake
Phil Anselmo
Philly Byrne

Too tired to think of more

 

[Vedicardi]

Rob Halford
that's it

I mean come on

you can't even touch that with a stick
or maybe you can hehehehhehe get it

 

[D.Ingram]

Philly is definitely a worthwhile mention. He has an excellent style, certainly one of the more unique vocalists in recent years - Gama Bomb would only be half as good if he wasn't their singer.

 

[dethCR07]

Damn it, I forgot Cedric from The Mars Volta. That guy is amazing.

Still, I would place Daniel Gildenlow above them all, he is just that awesome.

 

[metallica144]

FUUUUU- !!! i forgot Freddie Mercury... i feel like i'm a bad person right now

 

[Podgie]

Dragged this thread up from the dead to say this... John Kevill.

If I was to form a death / thrash superground - he'd be my vocalist. Fucking spitefully wild, man.

 

[D.Ingram]

Necrobumps are baaaaaaad!

 

[Podgie]

I know but the forum is so dead I didn't think it'd really matter.

Someone start a new music related thread already...

 

[D.Ingram]

My favourite three vocalists will probably always be Sy Keeler, Peter Steele and Rob Halford anyway.

 

[Keenan]

James LaBrie, Devin Townsend and Matt Barlow for me.

 

[Snyde]

Mikael Stanne.
