Peter Hamill or Cedric Bixler

Same here exactly. Geddy Lee, Jon Anderson, and Jeff Lynne, as just a few examples, have been some of my favorite vocalists over the years. I also really dig Cedric's singing in the Mars Volta (especially on Bedlam), but I love most vocalist styles nowadays, from the Residents to Magma to Genesis. But for similar reasoning as yours, I had to vote high pitched.

Don't really know Hawkwind. But the rest I do. But I really like a voice that change tone like Roger Daltrey or David Coverdale although the ones that are there are great but don't think I can decide cause I love all of em. No Vote..

Female ones! ;P

but I do enjoy male vocalists like Vander, Stratos, Patton and Hammill who aren't just recognisable but defining, and who aren't afraid to flirt with the ridiculous - Vander's fury, Stratos' bleating, Patton's glossolalia, Hammill's divebombs - because they're more than just a vehicle for lyrics, unlike millions of mediocre rock singers.

I like a singer to be quite versatile, but in terms of vocal styles, I dont really have a preference. Certain styles suit certain types of music. I dont believe Roger Waters voice would suit the music of Genesis for example, but it's perfect for the cold bitterness of 70's Floyd. The only vocal style that does nothing for me is growling death metal/thrash metal voices, or metaloid screamers.
