    ok this is a 2 part question:

    1) the best singer ever/at the moment/your personal favorite?

    2) the band how all contribute best towards achieving the best over-all vocal effect/best harmonys?

    i'm thinking more in terms of rock bands here. less of the pop/ballady stuff.

    for me its too hard to answer:D , but my personal fav vocalists at the moment are (in no particular order):

    freddie mercury (queen)
    matt bellamy (muse)
    tim armstrong (rancid)
    steve tyler (aerosmith)

    there are loads of others which i cant think of right now

    as for whole bands, i'm on a bit of a Bad Religion buzz at the moment so i have to say them. the harmonys they get are deadly, so much energy!!

    I would say my personal faves are
    *Maynard James Keenan - Tool/A Perfect Circle
    *Freddy Mercury- Queen
    *Frank Black - Pixies
    *Phil Lynott- Thin Lizzy
    *Josh Homme - Queens of the Stone Age

    There are more but I've been here too long already!

    favourite vocalist (by a long way): phil anselmo (pantera, down, superjoint ritual)

    can't forget thom yorke neither,

    or leonard cohen, so deep and raspy... just wow

    the 3 lads from gomez, they're all so different from each other so when they all come together they sound great (esp. livE)

    Awesome singers, the lot of them.
