[Oriax]

I feel i must add Mr Phil Anselmo to this list a truely great vocalist

I also agree with a lot of the last post

 

[Prophet178]

Mike Patton hands down.

 

[Resonator]

I don't know if it's been mentioned but Myles Kennedy kinda takes the cake on this one for me right now. Other than that, I have to agree with James Labrie and Freddie Mercury, since we're talking greats here, though Matt Barlow should be mentioned too.

 

[Slunk]

Mikael Akerfeldt - Opeth
Jon Crosby - VAST
Chris Cornell - Soundgarden
Steven Wilson - Porcupine Tree
Jeff Buckley - Jeff Buckley

 

[Windom Pearl]

Hahahah I browsed this thread and noticed I've already posted, in 2002 The years just fly by!!! Back then it was Patton, nowadays I'd go for Chris Cornell, tho. Euphoria Morning and Temple of the Dog should do the trick.

edit. Oh, nice to see Myles Kennedy mentioned. He's a kind of mixture of Michael Kiske and Chris Cornell! Could be worse, eh?

 

[Wander]

Here's a couple.

Devin Townsend
Russell Allen
Heather Findlay
Freddie Mercury
Tori amos
Jari Mäenpää
Anneke van Giersbergen
Tim Bowness

There's many obviously fantastic vocalists I'm not mentioning, but it's about the personal impact of the vocals that matters. Plus the fact that I have never listened to music on a search for the greatest vocals so my knowledge on singers is more limited than with guitarists or drummers for example.

Attila Csihar
