Geoff Farina (Karate, the Secret Stars, solo...)


Tali White (The Lucksmiths, The Guild League)


Colin Clary (Part-time Losers, My First Days on Junk, Colin Clary and the Magogs, the Smittens, probably twenty other goddamned bands):

He's the one on the right.

A not broken picture of Thom Yorke.


And if the broken one gets fixed, well, two pictures of good ol' Thom never killed anyone.



And Geoff Rickly, in the front of this picture. He looks a bit sickly, but he always does. ^^

EDIT: Grrr. The picture of thom does not want to show up as a picture.

Since 1967? He sang harmonies on Astronomy Domine and lead vocals on about a dozen songs before Meddle. He has lead vocal on the bridge of Time as well...
He does harmonies all the time. On their last album he sung the song Wearing The Inside Out, and did bits of Hey You and Run Like Hell on their last tour.

Antony, of course



Granted, he's not one of the greats in terms of vocal ability, but it fills me with happiness to hear Frank Black's voice when I can.



Sufjan Stevens is a-ok, in my book.



Cedric Bixler Zavala, mentioned above.

Oh, and who could forget..



The Locust! and, you know, that guy that does vocals for them..

Helloween ftw. I don't care if power metal is a cheesy genre.

Also:



Bruce Dickinson.



Ronnie James Dio.


Jim Morrison. I mean, come ON, people.

And if Freddie Mercury hasn't been mentioned yet, SHAME ON YOU ALL. Even if you don't like Queen's music, the guy could friggin' sing.

You thread-people are sucky.

Martin Walkyier (Skyclad, Sabbat, The Clan Destined)



Rob Halford (Judas. Fucking. Priest.)



Dan Swano (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale, Star One, Pan.Thy.Monium etc.)



Cam Pipes (3 Inches of Blood)



Andrew Eldritch (Sisters of Mercy)



Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest, Nattefrost)



Animal (The Anti-Nowhere League)



Screw you haters. The original metal God. Ozzy Osbourne (At least before 1981)



Oh LAWD yeah.

Abbath Doom Occulta (IMMORTAL)



Casey Chaos (Amen, Scum)



Tony Wakeford (Death in June, Sol Invictus etc.)



Anna-Varney Cantonadea (Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows)



Technically transgendered, but screw that. He/she rules.

Just a SHORT round-up of the many missed.

I'll also back up Dio, Freddy, Bruce and Dylan.
