Why don't we ask Lemmy?
Yannis Papadopoulos of Beast in Black. Dude's got some insane vocal range.
Will Ramos
There is something captivating about Kate Bush's delivery, she collaborated a lot with Peter Gabriel too who was a fantastic singer with unique delivery as well.
Marvin Gaye - just perfection. Also Beth Gibbons of Portishead.
Chester Bennington
Does Jack Stauber count? The songs I've heard from him are mind blowing
tldw; a contestant on a European pop idol type show had such perfect pitch and tone, the judges thought she was lip syncing. She wasn't and it's amazing.

Gives me chills every time he sings for the past 20 years.
Amber Bain of The Japanese House has a really nice voice.
There's also Caroline Polachek, who I am pretty sure actually has perfect pitch. She is one of the most technically impressive vocalists of her generation IMO.
I'm consistently impressed by the one vocalist from Beast in Black. When I watch their videos and then realize there is one voice in the song and it's that dude, it blows my mind every time.
Nobody will read this, but Kristin Hersh. She was the founder / less singer in Throwing Muses, but her solo work truly amazes me. Literally nobody is like Kristin.
For example: https://piped.video/watch?v=_RtniRWL5zM
Ronnie James Dio.
Jim Grey of Caligulas Horse and Arcane
And Devin Townsend
Henning May
Einar Solberg, lead singer of Leprous, has a unique voice. It can sound almost fragile at lower registers, very expressive.... And has incredible range.
Brandi Carlisle is completely wasted on country music. I saw her at a music festival when she was mostly playing rock music and some covers and holy shit she has such effortless range.
Vitas.
Yebba, check her out. She’s not v popular but fucking incredible voice. Here is a live performance by her
Nico and Kevin from Electric Callboy
