This was at another forum. Anyhow, here was my list, it isn\'t researched and doesn\'t include any obscure indie bands because I\'m not too familiar with half the stuff you guys are on about music-wise anyhow..
Dio - So much power, he\'s got the idealistic metal voice.
Hendrix - Not a vocalist by nature, but listen to his ballads off Axis: Bold as
Love. Not many people can get the emotion he evoked in Castles Made of Sand or Little Wing.
Cobain - Insane emotion, instantly recognizable tone. What more do you need? Check out Nirvana\'s cover of \"Jesus Don\'t Want Me For a Sunbeam\".
Chris Cornell - Another recognizable voice. Brilliant falsetto, range, and tone.
Thom Yorke - The go-to guy for the best falsetto around. Inspirational.
Robert Plant - Set the bar for girly squeals in hard rock for decades to come.
Matthew Good - Haven\'t heard anyone like him, and his songwriting completely complements his vocal style.
Raine Maida - Another Canadian (Good being the other) with an entirely unique voice. Interesting technique and strained vocals that always pull through in the end.
Meat Loaf - Just wow. Listen to him for yourself. Extremely expressive, the godfather of Rock Opera.
Elliot Smith - A poetic, tortured soul writing beautiful music while helping to bring singer/songwriters into the mainstream once more.
Freddie Mercury - Epic. Simply epic; performed wonderfully in every aspect.
Brandon Boyd - The Incubus singer is one of the best modern day vocalists who can still hold his own to some of Rock\'s best.
Matt Bellamy - Took Thom Yorke\'s falsetto and, well, overall tone, to new heights. Mixes baroque with hard rock in a bizarre fashion, and it is working for him and Muse\'s fanbase (numbering easily in the millions).
David Bowie - Inspiration for indie bands world-wide.
Jim Morrision - Great vibe to his voice, and he could tackle his own epic tunes a la \"The End\", or fun, Broadway-style show-stoppers, like \"Touch Me\".
Joe Strummer - Made bizarre squawks and helped create punk in his downtime. No biggie.
Dio - So much power, he\'s got the idealistic metal voice.
