I was really impressed by the singer from Mudvayne back in the day. He had a great voice and screams but man he was just beating the shit out of himself.
 
Jens kidman-meshuggah
Fredrik Söderberg- soreption
Rafał Piotrowski-decapitated
Dez Fafara-devil driver
Max Klebanoff- tomb mold

This is tough to narrow to 5
 
1. Mike Patton
2. Paul Di'anno
3. Danzig
4. Corey Taylor
5. Till Lindmann

P.S. To all the Patton haters. His Fantomas band is metal. Also : Patton has a vocal range of over 6 octaves. That's broader than Mariah Carey's (5), Freddie Mercury's (4), Christina Aguilera's (4), Celine Dion's (3), Kelly Clarkson's (3), and Axl Rose's (5).
 
Mike Akerfeldt
Layne Staley
Rob Halford
Dax Riggs
Tatiana Shmayluk (Jinjer)

James LaBrie. Well, at least up to 2005 or so, and forgetting the live performances of late.

Saw DT in Cincy last week. Band sounded great! I can't believe they let him sing at all during that show. Obviously has something going on, but he was so far off all night I was actually shocked.

I think DT has been around long enough and is big enough that they will soon be given symbolic keys to the cities when they tour certain areas. Too bad Labrie won't be given keys to their songs.
 
Paul Baloff
Tom Araya
Glenn Danzig
Chuck Billy
Dax Riggs
 
Jon Oliva
John Bush
Rob Halford
Bruce Dickinson
Udo Dirkschneider - cool unique voice that stands out to me. Not necessarily "great singer"

I didn't read other responses before adding my own, and its nice to see the love in the thread for Oliva, Bush and UDO. Halford and Brucey are kind of no-brainers haha.

Kind of off-topic, but I remember there was an interview where they asked that Arch Enemy chick about her favorite Death Metal vocalists. She said it was the guy from Lamb of God and Corey Taylor. Fucking LOL.
