WoW only has 10 million subscribers it must be dying! WoW sucks!
I'm sorry no, clearly you didn't see Chuck Norris allowed 10 million to survive his Purge.
Without giving it too much thought, I'll have to say Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis. His singing really suits their music style, and I just happen to like his voice.

Diablo's Rainer Nygård is a close second, for pretty much the same reasons.

Outside of metal (though not far, Alternative Rock according to wikipedia), I really like the voice of Poets of the Fall's vocalist.

The first two do happen to be among my favorite bands, but they're certainly not the only ones, the singing just happens to play a big part in them (at least to my ear).
Michael Akerfeldt for overall vocals, Phil Bozeman for sheer growls.
In no particular order, and some of these may be considered Rock not metal, or alternative i guess too, but yeah
Jon Davis of Korn
Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stone Sour
Aaaron Lewis of Staind
Christopher Hall of Stabbing Westward/The Dreaming (this is my favorite singer of all time..and I've met him!)
Shawn Morgan of Seether
Brent Smith of Shinedown (2nd all time favorite singer)
Sully Erna of Godsmack
David Draiman of Disturbed
James Hetfield of Metallica

Mikael Åkerfeldt and Peter Tägtgren. If I had to choose between the two, Mikael.
John Cooper of Skillet
and Phil Labonte of All That Remains
Jesse Leach! He's Killswitch Engage's old singer, now he does The Empire Shall Fall, and Times of Grace. He's such a good vocalist, and by far my favorite.
