Tord Lindman formerly from Änglagård, it's a shame he only had vocals on a few tracks and is no longer with the band.

And...this Lee in which band does he sing..., cause there is this one Lee that sings in a band called Rush and...well, lets say he is not in many favorites lists!
Harmonium singer is great! So is PFM´s!!! and Loccadas also!

I really like his voice too, very expressive. I also like Robert Amirian of Collage.

Almost everyone mentioned already are great!
Serge, Francesco, Michele, Jonsi, Willy, the lead singer in PFM...
I would like to add Leonardo Saso from Locanda delle fate. What a theatrical voice he has. Also, Demetrio Stratos from Area. I only heard his voice in Carnascialia, but I got an impression of his voice and let me craving for more.

Czeslaw Niemen (RIP) was one of the greatest vocalists, in my opinion. Sang in Polish. Had an incredible voice and a very emotional manner of singing. One can appreciate it without understanding the language.

Thumbs up for Francesco Di Giacomo (Banco del Mutuo Soccorso) too. I really like how he uses his voice.

Hello, I created this topic because I noticed that whenever a poll about the best singer or something is created, all of the choices are english-speaking vocalists like if there wasn't other great singers. I happen to think that many of the vocalists I really love do not sing in english. So who are those great "foreign" vocalist in your opinion? We can see that as a tribute to those ignored greats. I'm gonna mention Serge Fiori from Harmonium because I don't know if his name will pop up and his voice is beautiful. Listen to Harmonium en Tournée to see how it sounds even better live.
