>>implying that gay detracts from singing. Well, they were in a band called Queen.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala

the freaking mars volta

also Aswan North from Paper Tongues is incredibly talented, and has a gnarly stage presence

Talented, but I wouldn't put him up there against the big names. Mars Volta isn't on the same level as frontmen like Mercury or Daltry.

nah dude, killing himself was caused by addictions, insecurities, and the rest of the crap that comes with american pop culture.

though i do believe much of his popularity is attributed to "martyr status"

As far as modern day singers goes, i think Brandon Boyd is pretty awesome. Listen to him live, he sounds so good.

If you want just plain badass singers then I'd go for Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures) or Brian Johnson (AC/DC)

For the most talented singers I'd say Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth).
