When it comes to metal, I find myself kinda drawn to the guys who can scream their heads off but still sound clear as day. Examples of this:

Devin!
Ishahn
Greg Puciato
Trent Reznor
Chino Moreno
Chris Cornell
Mikael Akerfeldt
Captain Beefheart!

 

[scherzo1928]

Inva Mula.


edit: in case her voice sounds familiar... yes, that's her...

Jacob Bannon, how could I forget?

 

[oompa]

As far as talent goes, Mike Patton hands down. As for charm, Layne Staley. Appeal, Devin. Power, Tommy Dahlström (Aeon).

..So I'm just gonna say MJK

Nah I don't know, I'm useless. I'll just go with Patton

Now look I made Tommy this angry



I miss you Layne

Geoff Tate
Steve Perry
Bruce Dickinson
Pat Benatar
Bill Miller
Glenn Hughes
Ian Gillian
Rob Halford
James Hetfield

 

[shaunduane]

Jonathan Carpenter from The Contortionist. Not really for his actual vocals, but for the patterns he does and he knows when to keep things instrumental. Awesome style.
Phil Bozeman from Whitechapel
Jonny Craig from Emarosa/Dance Gavin Dance if he would stop being a tool.
Tommy Rogers from Between the Buried and Me. Just overall perfect IMO.

 

[TheGrimRiffer]

Can't believe no one said John Gallagher from Dying Fetus!



straight up gore-gasm

 

[pattonfreak1]

 

[DoomJazz]

Chris Baretto, theres a video of him doing vox in studio for Haunted Shores way back, and his voice by it's self just sounds unbelievably raw. Instant fanboy.

Elliot Coleman is also an amazing clean singer, though I'd hate to sound like a bandwagon fan hahaha.

John Carpenter does have an honorable mention he influences me a lot.

I'm sure there are quite a few clean singers than I'm missing, but they escape me.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT CHRIS PREECE????? ALLSTAR!!!
