My best friend Tiffany played this song for me back when I was…seventeen or eighteen. I fell in love with this version and ended up buying Deadstar Assembly’s debut album. Now, literally a decade later, DSA is hitting the road with Davey Suicide and I am ecstatic!!!!!

Obviously this is simply a matter of opinion, limited to the artists I am familiar with. But isn’t that always the case with these things?
10. Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge/Tremonti Project)
Okay, I admit it, I’m quite partial to Alter Bridge. However, that is not the reason Mark made the list. Though I’m sure there are better vocalists out there, I feel he deserves to be recognized. He and his band (Tremonti) are terribly underrated.
9. Corey Taylor (Slipknot/Stonesour)
I’m not a huge Slipknot fan, but even in their early days I couldn’t fail to notice his voice. Stonesour — and Slipknot’s later work — served only to further showcase his abilities.
8. Ville Valo (HIM)
Do I even have to explain? As Bam Margera once said, “All girls love HIM.”
7. Matt Bellamy (Muse)
I wasn’t overly familiar with Muse until I saw them with My Chemical Romance in 2007. That was when I discovered that A) Muse rocks, and B) Matt has one hell of a voice!
6. Ivan Moody (Motograter/Five Finger Death Punch)
First with Motograter and now with FFDP, this man’s voice…it gives me shivers down my spine!
5. Jonny Hawkins (Nothing More)
He has won my heart. Hands down my favorite of the more recent frontmen.
4. Brent Smith (Shinedown)
Look, if you weren’t sold by “.45” or “Burning Bright,” I doubt there’s much I can say to change your mind.
3. David Draiman (Disturbed/Device)
This one may seem odd — until you hear him cover “Sound of Silence.” From day one, I’ve loved his voice, but it was “Darkness” from Disturbed’s second album that sealed his place forever in my top ten.
2. Jacob Bunton (Lynam/Adler)
Jacob is probably the best vocalist you’ve never heard of. He now fronts Adler, which boasts Stephen Adler of Guns N Roses, but I discovered him through his work with Lynam.
1. Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge)
Duh! His voice is gorgeous!!! He has an amazing range and can hold a note forever… and did I mention his voice is gorgeous?!?!
