hey - no picking on Jack! listen to his stuff with the raconteurs, very good vocals. now, live, on the other hand...

no mention of phil mogg from UFO? saw them 3 years ago, day after his 60th birthday and he can still bring it. great, great voice.

While not an "amazing" voice, the guy from Steelheart could hit these sick, sick high octaves. When I saw them in concert, I thought my ears were going to bleed...

I don't consider many on my list as Metal singers but good Rock singers.

Lemmy is God, but I wouldn't consider him having a great singing voice. With that said, I don't think you have to have a great voice to be really damn good and successful, like Lemmy.
