[neuroticandroid]

Mikael
Roger Waters
Chuck Schuldiner
King Diamond

roger waters? really? most pink floyd songs, gilmour sings the lead vocal. otherwise your list is good, although i'd add robert plant, jim morrison, and john lennon

yeha davce mustayne is the grandest

I'm a Megadeth fan, but i think that Mustaine is a pretty bad singer too, somehow i got used to his voice, it kind of fits the music.

Yup, you know, imo his best vocal delivery is on ''Youthanasia'', and i quite like that album, even though die-hard 'deth fans seems to hate it, of course it is not as great as ''Rust in Peace'' but it is good for what it is...and the weird fact is that his voice only started improving on the weakest albums.

Bullshit stop exagerating, you look like a jack ass, and are you saying Rush's red barchetta doesn't kick ass because thats all I said in my second to last post...
And what is so wrong with liking some parts of Plants singing but not others, get off your high horse and try and open your eyes to other opinions and tastes for once.

ITS ROBERT PLANT!! who the hell are YOU?! you think just because your brain is shaped incorrectly that i'm all of a sudden going to even entertain the idea that Plant isnt one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time just because you say so? its not about being on a high horse, its about you getting your ears checked...good god the insanity on this forum sometimes.

Up to WYWH, yes. After that the majority was Waters, until he left the band of course.

Elisabeth Fraser
Patsy Cline
Edith Piaf
Jimmy Cliff (download "Many Rivers to Cross" if you don't believe me)

I like russel allen from sympony x. he has like three types of voices, and is developing a grow that sounds cool.

mikael is second favorite, but only becuase I can sing like allen and not akerfeldt, and that makes me mad.

How NFU failed to mention Richard Sinclair in that list is beyond me.

Also, Justin Hayward has an incredibly emotional, powerful voice that I'm quite fond of.

Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)
Ian Gillan (Deep Purple)
