My 2 cents

Matt Bellamy


The Late Jeff Buckley

Bruce Dickinson

Zach de la Rocha

all of whom are in excruciating pain as you can tell from the grimace worn on their faces (with Bruce calling out for help and Zach pointing to the paramedics to seek medical attention). reaching those notes must really hurt!

 

[Zerker]

When you say vocalist, my preference turns to other kinds of genres and not rock or metal so I would have to say:

Norah Jones
Elton John
Jennifer Warnes
Aaron Neville

They aren't people who have influenced me but they are pretty damn good in what they do.
