Man, too many to count really. I guess a lot of Symphony X, Opeth, Vitalij Kuprij, George Bellas, and a lot of other instrumental guys
Blackesteyes, I was not expecting to see a Kaki King on a list here. Very cool. I still like Michael Hedges better though![]()
This Godless Endeavor and Dead Heart - after years and years of trying and failing, I've finally managed to learn to tolerate Warrel Dane's melodramatic bellows enough to hear how FUCKING AWESOME the music of Nevermore is, and there are even some vocal parts that I find myself singing along with (though as a whole, I still hate his voice, and he's a prime example of why baritone singers IMO do not belong in metal, but on the broadway stage)
