I do have a very tough time with Robert Plant but I think that's understandable. I love the Rhythm Section in that band though.
I think the real template for the kind of singing I'm talking about would be more in the operatic Style set up by Dickinson and Halford, and I say that being not much of a maiden fan at all. And I'm pretty sure Freddie Mercury and the vocal stylings of bands like Uriah Heep had to play into their Vision substantially.
Mercyful Fate were basically a more extreme and actually satanic version of the priest style in most ways, for instance.
Ozzy seems to be a strong contender in the Doom category however. But his voice is more limited than what I'm talking about. Even though he's certainly a great singer. Or was for a while at least!
(For my dadrock screecher, I prefer Ian Gillan of Deep Purple way over plant. Blackmore over Page too, for that matter)
