do you mean extremely good as in talent wise and niceness of voice, or just extremely good at knowing when to sing and adding the right type of melody or whatever to the song?

well either way Daniel Johns - Silverchair

Well, either way I guess. I really didn't want death metal vocalists....b/c..well, they can't sing good. They might have a powerful growl but, they don't show any impressive vocal ability, as far as I'm concerned. Somebody with melody will suffice. Daniel Johns is a good one.

My opinion of Bjork is that she sucks. I dislike her sytle of music.......i'm not into big dramatic noises and loud chanting whatever she does. I just don't like it.

Blind Guardian? I don't think i've ever heard any of their stuff......maybe one song, and if it's the one i'm thinking of, they R garbage.

Hetfield......he's good.....or, i should say he WAS good.

His singing on Castles made of sand is excellent.

One well-sung song doesn't make him a great vocalist. I think Jimi is great, but to say he's a great vocalist is a little wide of the mark. He's best described as... *puts on thinking face*... destinctive.

I agree with most on your list but I have to take exception with Aaron Lewis. I find him truly annoying when he sings. I don't think Kurt was a particularly good singer (like Jimi, he's more destinctive than talented) but the rest of the list is a pretty good one.
