Devon Graves/Buddy Lackey (Dead Soul Tribe/Psychotic Waltz/Ayreon) should also be up there.  He has an amazing voice.

He is indeed an incredible vocalist, strongly reminding me of David Coverdale.

David Coverdale is an excellent and a very emotional singer despite of he sings the 3/4 of his time in bad songs

Daniel Gildenlow (excuse the absence of those dots above the "o")!

Pain of Salvation is the best band out there right now and he's fronting it with a potent mind & voice!

Geoff Tate is also a worthy runner-up.

P.S.
If you'd like to know more about Mr. Gildenlow, you can view my interview with him in the Interviews section of the forum. The interview was conducted at the end of October 2004.

Peace & take care

DANIEL GILDENLÖW

One of the most gifted singers in the world IMHO. His range and emotional delivery is un-matched.

Russel Allen comes second on my list. A tremendously talented singer with loads of power. One of the few vocalists that give old Ronnie James Dio a run for his money.
All the best,
Per

Daniel Gildenlow is not only the best prog-metal singer, but one of the best singers in the world.

Michael Akerfeldt comes in at a spectacularly close second, his diversity is staggering.

Anyone who compares Devin Townsend (who would come third in my book) to Ministry has clearly never heard his music.  The man is a prog genuis.  If you don't believe me, listen to "Terria".  It's an absolute soddin' masterpiece.

By the way, I think both reasons why they sacked him are right.

No, no, I've read about that "age problem" many times. I think he was almost 40 when they were in their 20s (though I'm not sure).

And I don't know how he sounded live. Maybe his voice was a bit thin on stage - maybe. But I really like his cold, often emotionless, approach on When Dream and Day Unite. His mechanical singing in Light Fuse and Getaway is really spinetingling and original in a way.

What were DT thinking with Charles Dominici, thank god they got rid of him.

Before they found Mickey Mouse La Brie Mr Dominici had to leave because he was much older than the rest, and their personalities didn't fit together. At least, that's what everyone said.

Unbelievable. Fates Warning get always ignored in these polls.

1) John Arch (by a country mile)

2) Geoff Tate

3) Ray Alder

4) Charlie Dominici

and probably Snake. He can't sing but I like him nonetheless.
