Some think he has one of the worst voices ever, but the guy sure did hit high notes and even gets very low.

Incredible singer and songwriter! His vocal range is amazing and Incubus as a band has very talented musicians. Every album is unique and progressive so it's interesting to hear what will come out next from this band.

Jeff Scott Soto Report Abuse
Ex singer of Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, Eyes, Talisman, Journey, RockStar Movie Soundtrack, Queen Extravaganza, and currently with Trans-Siberian Orchestra as well as his own band SOTO and solo project. This versatile vocalist can sing anything and is the most underrated singer out there, with over 100 musical projects he's been involved with in his 30 year career.

If he was a singer for some popular band he'd easily be in top 10, one of the greatest singers of the '80s.

John Lawton Report Abuse
One of the most beautifull tones in rock with clean and powerfull high notes. He mostly uses no falsetto. Listen to Lucifer's Friend albums for the best of JL.

Most don't know him, but he really should have been a household name....Imagine a young Robert Plant meets a young Ronnie James Dio and an idea of the range of John Lawton's voice, He could sing the phone book and it would sound good.

Great up-and-coming singer! Definitely some Radiohead elements to his vocals, but he adds a bit of his own uniqueness to his delivery.

Conor Mason Report Abuse
A great vocalist from the band 'Nothing But Thieves'! You can definitely hear some Thom Yorke influences in his voice, but his range is enormous! Definitely a band that will reach huge heights in a few more years.

Should be top 5 along with myles kennedy and rob halford,milli has a genuinely phenomenal voice his range is 5 octaves and his abillity to hit his upper range perfectly is second to none deserves to much much higher,for reference listen to 'we all die young and Steelheart' both by his band steelheart wonderful singer no wonder the doors chose him to tour with them back in 2010.

A very influential singer and songwriter from Canada! A true performer! His voice may have lost its power from the mid 2000s on, but during his hey day from the '80's up to the early 2000's he was awesome!
