Due to connection issues, I had to re-type all entries, and I just noticed that I skipped King Diamond in my second attempt to post this poll...Believe me, he was in the draft of this poll...

I'd have to say Bruce Dickinson from the list. Then again what I like about him has little to do with his vocals. Outside the list Oyvind Haegeland or that guy from Protest the Hero.

Place Vendome have also a second album, some think it's better than the first, I think they are both equally worth. A song from this album that has a strong TOTO influence (especially the intro) :
The keyboardist is Günther Werno from Vanden Plas.

I really liked the Place Vendome track. The Sanctuary track does sound familiar to me, but it just may be that is sounds like similar bands that I used to listen to way back in the day. The Winter Rose track doesn't really sound like James LaBrie to me. Kind of wild that it is him. Also wild that Sebastian Bach was a member of that band before him.
I read somewhere that Michael refused the offer the first he was proposed to replace Kai on vocals because he didn't like the music Helloween played (it was speed/thrash before he joined). After second proposal, he accepted and kind of softened Helloween's music, giving it a more melodic direction. The albums 'bubble' and 'chameleon' show that he is rather eclectic and open-minded, and that metal is far from being "his cup". At some point, he wanted to throw away the metal label, and released an album of acoustic songs. The complete opposite of Kai Hansen !
