...and Pete Burns

Casey Crescenzo from The Dear Hunter/ex-The Receiving End of Sirens is probably my favorite vocalist.
Singing soft and sweet, gang vocals, soulful belting, screaming, a capella arrangements, he does them all and more so damn well.

Other favorites:
Anthony Green
Trent Reznor
Claudio Sanchez
Aaron Weiss

Not favorites (yet), but notable: Justin Vernon, Chino Moreno, Andy Hull, Keith Buckley, Dave Verellen, Andrew Bird, MC Ride, P.O.S., etc.

Thought it was vocalists instead of singers. Woops.

Ian Curtis
Bjork
Keith Morris
Henry Rollins
Grace Sick
Iggy
