didnt hear anything better then this
Sharon den Adel - Within Temptation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa5BUDKgzRQ
A female vocalist I haven't seen anyone mention yet is Kathrine Katz. She lends her talents to Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Salome.
I don't think everyone will like her as her voice is certainly distinctive but she has one of the best screams in metal.

Her scream at 2:33 is amazing.
James Hetfield from Metallica
Metallica - Sad But True - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8BRbM52gpc

- Vanilla was legitimately bad; we just didn't know any better at the time - SirCowDog
Not anymore but you can't have a metal vocalist thread without acknowledging the greatness that was Geoff Tate (Queensryche). Maybe the best I've ever heard.
Jorn Lande is tremendous, and my favorite project of his is Ark - Burn the Sun.
Tons of great ones mentioned here - I'll add Daniel Gildenlow from Pain of Salvation. He's a great singer in terms of versatility and emotional depth.
Russell Allen from Symphony X is also pretty damn good.
Dickinson, Khan and Kürsch by far.
Mickael Akerfeldt from Opeth without a doubt, and Maynard James Keenan if you consider Tool as being progressive metal.
EDIT: Forgot Hansi Kürsch from Blind Guardian too!

I have to say my personal favorite is Hansi Kürsch from Blind Guardian
1: Mikael Akerfeldt, Opeth
2: Brian Fair, Shadows Fall (I really don't get how so little people know about these guys)
3: Shagrath, Dimmu Borgir
And not to randomly bash Slipknot or anything - Corey's good, but in my own opinion, there's better, really.
-Max Cavalera
-Serj Tankian
-Phil Anselmo
-Jack Black
-Lemmy FUCKING Kilmister !!!!!!!!
