    Maynard James Keenan (Very haunting)
    Ryan McCombs (Wow!)
    Chris Cornell (Soulfull and powerful)
    Chester Bennington (Hate the fukker, but there's no denying his vocal power.)
    Jack Black (The range!?!)
    Brian Johnson (Ballsy yet high pitched)
    Robb Flynn (Throat tearing and yet sometimes tender)
    Morgan Lander (Awesome growl)

    Always thought Chino Moreno wasn't very good tbh, generally off key.

    Maynard James Keenan - the man's voice is an instrument all of its own.

    1. Hansi Kursch (current favourite, especially amazing on NIME and IFTOS)
    2. Robert Plant (not already mentioned!!!)
    3. Bruce Dickinson (blaze sucks)
    4. Brian Johnson (whats with that range? I cant tell where falsetto kicks in)
    5. Serj Tankian (versatile, not as good on the first album)
    6. Tony Kakko (feeling)
    7. James Hetfield (tone)
    8. Dio (great tone and vibrato)
    9. Ian Gillian (child in time)
    10. Russell Allen (I've only heard 3 symphony x songs, accolade is great, I think hes going to get a lot higher on my list)

    Also Freddie Mercury, Chris Cornell, Rob Halford, Ozzy, James LaBrie

    Oh, and Mickey Harte, James Kilbane, and Chris Doran:) (Damit I'm embarrassed to know their names)

    Blaize Bailey?! What are you on woman. Dickinson's better by a mile.

    If we're sticking strictly to Rock/Metal I'd have to say:

    Dickinson
    Cornell
    Serj Tankian from System of a Down, that voice demands respect
    Zack de la Rocha (not a singer but he can do a whole lot of shouting)
    Brian Johnston
    Robert Plant
    Freddy Mercury
    Yer Woman from Evanescance, they're not all that but she's a damn good singer.
    Axl Rose may be a twat but his voice demands respect and I grudgingly give him this place
    Andy Kerans from Therapy?
