Transcendant vocalists

[IronCrue34]

Discuss your favorite vocalists, or vocalists with impeccable vocal abilities. I am going to lean towards Sebastian Bach as my favorite vocalist, from Skid Row. His vocal range is nearly boundless, and his voice is astonishing all around. Listen to the last thirty seconds of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEJjIjBd1Ok&feature=related) concert footage, and perhaps you will understand. :p

Although this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8___eW5V_dI&feature=channel_page) song is rather generic, the vocals are excellent. It sounds nearly congruent to the studio recording.

[RiderOnTheStorm]

Jeff Buckley. I win.

[StarFox]

Klaus Meine /thread.

[Deebs]

John Haughm, the lead singer of Agalloch. His vocals are mesmerising.

[Ice Lightning]

Matt Bellamy, lead singer of Muse. How he gets his voice so high sometimes I'll never know, Wikipedia says he is a falsetto meaning he is able to go about an octave above normal. I was trying to find a good example and I think one of the best has got to be in the song New Born.

[Peanut]

Rob Halford from Judas Priest.

[Pez]

Jeff Buckley. I win.

Either of these two, but I think I'll go for Jeff, especially since he was one of Matt's main vocal influences.

[Porky]

Thom Yorke, like Matt Bellamy, but better. (See Paranoid Android)
