Hehe, I think the only singer I've heard who reaches really high notes without sounding familiar or cliché is...Rush's Geddy Lee!

	Dude, I agree with some of the other people on here. Check out the likes of Devin Townsend, P.O.S, Opeth and Riverside. I would add Orphaned Land and Saviour Machine to that list also(mainly because I don't think Eric Clayton doesn't have an 80's sounding voice). Awsome music and great, great vocals.

	fair enough not being into neurosis but to suggest isis or cult of luna are less boring!? i wonder how much neurosis you have heard? isis are a bland regurgitation of neurosis at the best of times (...of grace). plus isis veer more into post-rock and neurosis would surely be doom prog rather than prog metal? i think the trio of vocalists in neurosis are one of the most powerful in extreme music history. i too am regular disappointed by glam vox, the new dragonforce album would probably be appreciated a lot more by me if it wasn't for the inane and desperately unoriginal wailing over the top, sometimes instrumental is just the most reliable choice. do mastodon count as prog metal? there are some talented growlers!
