i have to ask, are you saying that someone can't be a good vocalist unless they could fit into and suit another completely unrelated band?

if this is the case, then are there any good vocalists?

as far as i'm aware, very few vocalists can just "fit" into other bands. (example: see how chester bennington ****ed up STP)

That's a real difficult one. Any singer that can hold a note without using auto-tune is good. Some singers I feel stand out are Bruce Dickinson obviously, Mikael Stanne, Jon Oliva. The list can go on for a while. But those definitely stand out.

As per my some categories I came up with off the top of my head here I would say Bruce gets all of them. I second your notion.

Because if we're talking BEST then versatility should be one of the measuring sticks. A lot of the singers mentioned are great but I'd consider them one trick ponies.

Bruce can do mellow stuff but he's not really good at it IMO.
