I would have to go with Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) and Tommy Rogers (Between the Buried and Me).
Big inspirations.

James Hetfield would have to be the best singer ever. Go Mettalica.

Why have I not heard any mention of James LaBrie? D= Joey Belladonna?! I know it's a stretch, but Mustaine, mebbe? He can't really sing, but a lot of people like that. I mena, look at Bob Dylan! xD

I have two names to add.

ROB HALFORD.
(As Scottsy said) Devin Townsend!

:D :D Yeah, James LaBrie... hehe, probably some fans of Dream Theater aren't blind and they know he isn't some special vocalist. But I am not against this band, I like them - in some way...

Btw Bob Dylan... Not my taste so much but big respect :)

Probably music isn't only about singing.

i agree, devin townsend is amazing he can do it all. listen to anything from strapping young lad then listen to Ih-Ah from the cd addicted two completely different styles and he nails em both. although im a much bigger fan of his SYL project than the Devin Townsend Project

I'unno man, maybe I'm crazy but IMO, LaBrie is one of the most epic vocalists in metal. Even if it's prog metal.

Oh, I know music isn't about singing only. I myself am a guitarist, but yeah, I think since every voice is different, they've become fairly welcome in music over the years. Now if only instrument voicings could get the same recognition.

No. Definitelly you aren't crazy ;) It's just your feeling and everybody has different feelings.
I realized lot of people here hate Dream Theater... But I know also lot of people who loves them maybe more than it's reasonable. So everything in music is just matter of taste and personality :)

Thanks for all the Devin Townsend love guys!!! I didn't think I'd find so much agreement!

Tommy Rogers of BtBaM wins easily for me just based on sheer variety, although he doesn't use it as much on TGM... but I can listen to Alaska or The Anatomy Of if I wanna hear some great secondhand Freddy Mercury-esque vocals :afro:

Honorable Mention: Phil Labonte(ATR), Brandon Davis(Across The Sun), Bruce ****inson/Tobias Sammet(Iron Maiden/Edguy respectively, they sound similar)

So many more. I'm gonna quit before I have a ginormous list. :shycouch:
