Best male vocal

I'm actually happy Patton isn't their permanent vocalist. One of the main reasons I like Mike Patton is because of how diverse he is musically. I think he balances his work well. There are huge M.P. fans on here (me being one of them), but it is possible to be all-Pattoned out. Frankly, I just don't want to get tired of him.
 
Who to you think has the best male vocal?

I really like Bryan Adams, because he has a very good range and a crispy voice, which makes it stand out.

Who do you like? (and please, no opera :-) )
 
I have to agree with all the Mike Patton comments...he's been a favorite of mine since I first heard "EPic" in 89 or 90, and is always the first thought when thinking of best male vocals. Though I have to be honest, I don't really care for his voice effect stuff except when incorporated with mostly singing. That's when he's at his best, IMO. Showing his vocal range while singing. FNM, Bungle, Tomahawk, Lovage, Fant
 
More love for M.P., I see. I really like what he does with his voice in Tomahawk and DEP's Irony is Dead Scene. What a mind-blowing album.
 
Yeah good point. But Tomahawk work doesn't come often enough, and the last album was filled with too much non-singing...so I miss his singing in a rock environment. I'm sort of hoping new FNM material comes out of the reunion, even though I'm usually very opposed to reunions due to material often paling in comparison to the band's older work. But I miss my FNM! :(
 
A cliche pick for me would be Steve Perry.

But on a more timely front, Justin Vernon of Bon Iver has an amazing voice, I could listen to it all day.
 
It took me awhile to get into Ire Works. To be honest, it took me awhile to get into them all together. My mind had not been prepared for the arrhythmic sound that is DEP until recently. I connect much more with Irony is Dead Scene, I think because it was the album that initially got me into DEP. Miss Machine might be my least favorite, but I can't say I've given that album enough chances. Puciato's voice is great - just takes some getting used to.
