No Mike Patton anywhere? I don't really ever listen to Faith No More/Mr.Bungle, but I think he's probably one of the most talented male vocalists in popular music. Particularly as he manages to lend himself perfectly to any genre - be it metal, funk, electronic and so on. The Lovage album, Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By, with Jennifer Charles (of Elysian Fields. Also an awesome vocalist) is excellent.

It seems to be the case that, outside of classical music, talented singers are few and far between - talent in my eyes being someone who can croon a ballad just as well as they can scream over some metal. Most singers are one-trick ponies... well, actually 99.9% of successful musicians are one trick ponies, but with singers it's more obvious :D.
