Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell
Dragonforce - Fury of the Storm
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesdays Gone
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
Porcupine Tree - Shes Moved On

Opeth - Bleak is very good. It is a vocal duet (Mikael Akerfeldt with Steven Wilson of the prog rock band Porcupine Tree). The vocals seem much better when you understand who is doing which lines in the song. As far as I know, the singers lines at the end of the song are...
Mikael - You're close to the final word ... and drains me away
Steven - Mist ripples round your thin white neck
Both - And draws me a line
Steven - Cold fingers mark this dying wreck
Both - This moment is mine
Mikael - (clean) Night falls again, taking what's left of me (growling) slight twist, shivering corpse...
Another good one is Opeth - The Drapery Falls, and I'm not being partial towards Opeth either. Steven Wilson produced Blackwater Park, and his "telephone vocal effect" is used in this song. The vocals are just so good in this song.
