Jonne Järvelä from Korpiklaani is one of my favorites:

He also has a side project called Jonne. Can't say quite how long I have been a fan...over 5 years for sure.


Also Nergal, from Behemoth...he is a great vocalist, the album they released last year The Satanist, is an amazing album...and now Nergal says they'll be releasing something even better in 2018. Of course he does harsh black metal type vocals which not everyone likes. Lol not even sure I could categorize Behemoth as mere black metal anymore though, they've kind of transcended it. And no I cannot remember his real name...

Then of course there is the Almighty Ronnie James Dio \m/.

Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, he of course has a great voice.

King Diamond
Geoffe Tate
Chuck Billy
Fiona Apple
Danny Cavanaugh/Lee Chambers
Chino Moreno
Steve Perry

Miranda Cosgrove & I've been a fan since shortly after the 1st iCarly soundtrack came out.
Also Weird Al Yankovic & I've been a fan since I was a teen.

I like Amelia Meath from Sylvan Esso. It's the first time I've liked any electronic music at all, and it moves me so much. Her voice is really soothing, even though the music can be quite high tempo. I discovered the album about five months ago, and I've listened to it at least once a day ever since.

Fall Out Boy--just this year
Demi Lovato--since age 13
Kelly Clarkson--since age 13
Queen--since last year
80s music--since I was eight (yes, I was a child with interesting taste in music )

Sidsel Endresen
Seinabo Sey
Radka Toneff
Melody Gardot

I love music and my favorite part is always the singer/vocalist. A great one can make a mediocre project quite good, while a terrible one can destroy an otherwise great band.

My all time favorites:

Chino Moreno (Deftones/Crosses/Team Sleep/Palms)

Courtney LaPlante (Iwrestledabearonce/Spiritbox/Unicron)

Carley Coma (Candiria)

Greg Puciato (The Dillenger Escape Plan/The Black Queen/etc)

Burton C Bell (Fear Factory)

Phil Bozeman (Whitechapel)

Amy Lee (Evanescence)- absolutely love her. Her music opened doors for me as a kid
Meat Loaf- he's got a gorgeous voice. He can literally sing about a box of cracker jacks and sell it like a five star classic.
Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation)- fantastic soprano voice.
Tori Amos- her voice isn't exactly powerful or polished, but it is raw and real and you can hear it in her lyrics. She writes about a wide range of topics, all with a kind of honesty and quirkiness that only she can deliver.
Trey Anastasio (Phish)- Trey just seems like the sweet, eccentric, and down to earth dad with the giant cd collection in the living room that every kid dreams of having. The bands lyrics are silly and make no sense most of the time, but they can get pretty real too. I'm not gonna lie, their song "Joy" gave me the feels.
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)- Gawd, I feel for Kurt. As a musician, he's an exhibit A example of how an artist doesn't have to know what they're doing to be successful-- and sometimes, it's that uncertainty and rawness that really makes their work so powerful. As a person, he's someone that you miss even if you've never met him. In a world of stars that are so machiavellian and capitalistic, Kurt's reluctance to rise to fame and his consistent punk-rock, pro-feminist, pro-civil rights values were refreshing.
Holly Brewer (HUMANWINE)- not very well known, but she has the most gorgeous voice I have ever heard. She's been through so much as well.
Bradley Nowell (Sublime)- I love his voice. Personally, I always favored Sublime's more melodic songs over the faster punky-er ones because those were the ones that really showcased his talents and set the band apart from other punk groups.
Others are Kesha, Nina Hagen, Liv Kristine, and Cat Stevens
