Who the hell crossed out Bruce Dickinson and put Paul Dianno?!
No comparrison! Bruce is far more gifted, Dianno should stick to punk,though he has got better with age I'll give you that!I'd nominate, (in no particular order) Marty Robbins(Pete Townsend is a big fan apparently),Jim Reeves (voice like ovaltine), Nat King Cole, Pavarotti? John Denver.
I like a lot of metal too but I reckon most would be classed as distinctive and not "good".

Loads, all good.
Robert Palmer (sadly missed), Van theMan, Stevie Wonder, Adrian Borland, John Martin, Peter Gabriel etc etc etc.
Got a soft spot for Rod the Mod though, the old Leggy Blonde-Addicted Serial Monogamist.
All together now: "I yam saaaaaaaaaaaiiiiliiiiiiingggg..."

Mike Patton and Eddie Vedder are good choices. I'd probably add Ben Harper.
Technically, Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips) and Craig Finn (The Hold Steady) are not great singers, but they work very well with their bands' sounds.

On 'Slide Away' in particular.

Has noone mentioned David Bowie yet? I particularly like the slightly wistful quality his voice has taken on as he's aged.
