    James Hetfield
    Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy)
    Bjorn "speed" Strid (Soilwork)

    Not really a rock voice, but does Tori Amos count?

    I'm not going to repeat all the names that have been mentioned as most of them are indeed great, but nobody's mentioned Mark Lanegan so I thought I'd straighten that out. Scary voice, scary ****er. I like John Garcia as well.

    Brian Johnson... yes.... obvious choice.
    Female? Sheryl Crow has one of the best voices.... (thats' voices, not music,) I've ever heard. Her range is brilliant.
    Some of the Vegas legends don't get enough credit though. Sammy Davis Jnr was smooth. So too was Sinatra. You can't limit this to rock.
    Dammit, even George Michael has a brilliant voice. More control than any man I've heard. His live performances are unblemished.
    Aside from those and back to rock........ Black Francis. Jeckyl and Hyde voice.
    Freddie Mercury too. Really creative vocals.

    That's what I based my selection on. I have heard all of those vocalists live, and by jaysus they can all sing. 'Tis a sad fact that many singers just can't carry it off live - more's the pity :(

    Thats because they dotn have a full studio, and a million tries to get it right when they play live, thats why singers like Tarja Turnnen beat seven shades of poo out of AmY Lee, tarja can keep an insanely strong opera voice live (much stronger than Amy Lee too).
