Maynard James Keenan, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley(RIP), Eddie Vedder, Freddie Mercury, Beth Gibbons, Thom Yorke are just some of the singers who I consider to be in a league of their own. It's really hard to pick the greatest because there are so many great ones.

Can't believe it took 3 pages for someone to mention Jeff Buckley. He's got an amazing voice. Definitely one of my favorites.
