Good topic...
1 - Tony Harnell (TNT) (THE best IMO)
2 - David Readman (PC69)
3 - Don Dokken (Dokken) Say what you will, I think Don has a great voice.
4 - Jorn Lande (is that the singer's name?)
5 - Stephen Pearcy (Ratt) In the 80's only!! I think he has a good voice for hard rock.
6 - David Coverdale (Whitesnake)
7 - Joe Lynn Turner (Yngwie and other acts)
All I can think of for now... |

I like Lodmalm because he has a kind of cowboyish drawl to his clean voice. If Ayreon or Avantasia ever writes an Old West-themed song on one of their rock operas, Mathias is their man. |

If we are talking all-time, than Geoff Tate would have to be #1. But if we're talking currently, Geoff couldn't crack the Top 10 as his voice is no more. My current Top 10 would look as follows:
1. Matthew Barlow - Hands down the best singer Metal has ever known.
2. Warrel Dane - this guy is the vocal equivalent of a character actor.
3. Khan - there's a perfection in his delivery that few can match.
4. Jorn Lande - pure emotion, delivered with precision.
5. Tobias Sammet - although I'm not a huge Edguy fan, this guy has some set of pipes.

That's a pretty odd looking top 10!!! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] |
