Yeah, Damian's awesome! Ted Leonard's great, too. He and Damian are sort of each other's counterpart on either side of the Pond.
 
Jon Oliva has been mentioned, and in his prime he was a force to be reckoned with, like a raspier version of Geoff Tate.
 
Fates Warning's Ray Alder is another singer whose prime years still leave me awestruck. He still sings reasonably well, but along with Tate, Wilson and Oliva, his performances on Fates' four 1988-1994 albums are something of a measuring stick for many other singers in the genre, IMO.
 
And while Uriah Heep aren't progressive metal, onetime singer John Lawton did previously sing for Lucifer's Friend, and subsequently fronted some harder rocking acts like Rebel. Lucifer's Friend's last album with Lawton, titled Mind Exploding, is a heavy prog classic that borders prog-metal territory the way 2112 does.
 
I do like Maynard James Keenan, and I've liked Tool since they were new on the scene with only one album out, but I don't think he's quite the singer those other guys are.
verslibre, unfortunately to John Lawton his predecessor David Byron was and is one of the best vocalists that ever has existed. This is my ultimate fav track and album from Uriah Heep and only ever performed 3 times live during Ken Hensley and Byron era.

I think I mentioned before that David Byron looked kind like a gay porn star but oh wow he was and to date too brilliant really. Thumbs UpHuguriah heep - july morning 1972 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzRrGNygjzs&list=RDnzRrGNygjzs#t=189

That guy from Tool, the opera singer from Diablo Swing Orchestra, the male and female singers from Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

I know how much you like Byron, Sonia, and I didn't mean to slight him through my praise for Lawton, but I prefer the latter's tone, style and range. Plus, Byron seemed to struggle with high notes at times, like on this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnKgvOKnIgs

Speaking of Daniel Gildenlow, I feel like I'm the only one who loves PoS's 'Scarsick' album. Embarrassed

I'll have to stick with Geoff Tate. It was his voice that drew me to Queensryche in the first place. I have a soft spot for that high pitch style, so I also like James LaBrie.   Daniel Gildenlow is still pretty new to me but I am impressed. I've purchased three of their recordings in the past nine months. Sometimes, he sounds like Geoff Tate on Perfect Element to my ears. And then there is Mariusz Duda. His voice is beautiful but not the most 'metal' sounding.
I'm surprised how many people mentioned Keenan. I never thought of his voice as more than 'good.'
More heavy prog, please!

^Geoff Tate is an amazing vocalist too, it's a shame that he was kicked out of Queensryche. Ouch

Of course, my fav prog metal vocalist is James LaBrie, and as a female prog metal vocalist it's Aleksandra Rasulić (Oblivion Awaits, Rain Delay).

I like DT a lot and James LaBrie too, however at times I cringe (while knowing it is coming) his vocals (pitch) are not always on point tho' LOLHug

Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain of Salvation), Jon Oliva (Savatage, Pain) and Mike Baker (Shadow Gallery) are the first three that come to mind, but since it says 'vocalist' and no indication of gender is given, I think Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering, The Gentle Storm) must be somewhere in between these three, too.

Have to admit to not having a real favourite though, they all have their time and place in my playlist. ;-)

Maynard is a god and so are Nils and Carla. Haven't anything from DSO in a long time so will be visiting them soon.
