Robert Pollard

[Arm]

Matthew Barlow & Matt Maggard (Execrator (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/execrator2) :wub:)

Both powerful thrash/power metal vocalists who can do many singing styles. :) I dont how how well Maggards performance is live but I know Barlows vocals live are incredible and very close to the studio recordings. :blink: Well, according to Iced Earths live album (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDSUB040404171122121588&sql=Anstvad1kq8wj) anyway.

[xXmushr00mheadXx]

i can't add narrow it down to one there are so many different sing styles.
in no particular order:

mike patton (too many bands to mention)-he trys everything with his voice even if its just making noise.

jeff buckley-sweet melodic voice
serj takian (system of a down)-also great at making weird noises, great tonal range

jonathan devoy (jerk)-angry, growly voice but also good at singin soft stuff

trent reznor (NIN)-great tonal range can go from yelling to a sweet high pitched hum

kud/chud (mudvayne)-also great tonal range "nothing to gein" shows off his ability to sing in many ways the song changes tempo and style about 4 times through its duration

marylin manson- much the same as reznor puts some emotion in his songs

jonathan davis-(korn)the most emotive snger i have ever heard, great tonal range as well

maynard james keenan(tool, APC)-what can i say just awsome

Jeffery Nothing(mushroomhead)-strange voice but i like it :D

he went to see jeff buckley cause his producer made him :P. not only did the concert inspire him to change his voice, it also inspired the radiohead song "fake plastic trees" :stupid:

Yeap... Bono is by far the best,

but I also think Maynard James Keenan

[Adster]

yes 2 peopel i cant believe I forgot Jim Morrison

and Maynard from Tool and APC

also Jeff Martin Tea Party

[Randomblonde]

oh Adster, my love goes on

what he said. But with more exclamation marks and capitals and very public hysterics

[Desert Eagle]

For old school R&B I like Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson, and Aretha Franklin. Whitney Houston was great before she started smoking crack. Ditto for Michael Jackson, except he didn't need crack to lose his mind.

I also love listening to Dido and Amy Lee. Great voices.
