Oh, and everyone here seems to post vocalists only from the bands they've heard/like/favourite/whatever, amirite? Half of these vocalists can't sing for shit, sorry if I offended you all.

In no special order:
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Anders Fridén (In Flames)
Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth)
Sully Erna (Godsmack)

That's because the name of the thread is "Favorite Metal Vocalist" =)

How dare people list their favorite vocalists in a thread that's about listing favorite vocalists! I also fully agree that they shouldn't list vocalists they've heard, but people they haven't heard instead.

I know, but most of the people here are like this:
I have heard of CoB, Disturbed, Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Metallica, therefore the best vocalists are from CoB, Disturbed, Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Metallica.
I mean, seriously, lost horizon is far from being my favourite band, yet still I think they have the best vocalist.
I'm definitely not going to say that Karl Willets from Bolt Thrower or Martin Van Drunen from pestilence and hail of bullets are the best(though they still are pretty good for DM)

Ms. Olzon is out of the question. Have you heard her sing Wishmaster? She's ok for the stuff they released after she joined, but since I mainly don't like that, meh.

Rob Halford
Jack Black.
Eric Adams
and Nero Bellum.

[Brytryne]

Rainer Landfermann for the lols

[Irony]

Layne Staley of Alice in Chains.

[kharyll]

Layne Staley of Alice in Chains.

although I fing both Layne Staley and Alice in Chains phenomenal and unique, I wouldn't call them metal.

My favorite metal vocalist would be Geoff Tate of Queensryche. I think his creativity, technique and talent is unmatched. Most importantly, he is as good in concerts as he is in albums.

I would highly recommend 2 albums to hear his work: Operation Mindcrime and Promised Land

[Plowunder]

Chris Clancy - Mutiny Within

[khronz]

Phil Anselmo.

For me, it's a toss-up between Andi Deris (formerly Pink Cream 69, currently Helloween) and Tobias Sammet(Edguy, also behind Avantasia).

They are both technically good, with vocals that can go anywhere from deep down below to soaring high, they both try to improve with every new release, and they booth prove time and again that "standard" power metal vocals isn't the only type of singing they can handle.

I WOULD mention Michael Kiske in there, but he WAS a Metal Vocalist. Now he is a rock/ballad singer with metal cameos. Still good as hell, though^^

Wow I've never heard anyone sing like that, how original! Gotta appreciate the quality of her voice, she could charm birds from the trees. Such talent.

[Facedesk]

Not that i listen to much metal nowadays, but i used to a couple 'o years ago. The one singer who i still enjoy listening to is Corey Taylor of Slipknot. Doesn't really matter what people think of the band, to me he's a great singer.
