Ian Gillan Child In Time

Rob Halford
Judas Priest, 'Victim of Changes' (Live)

Matt Barlow
Iced Earth, "A Question of Heaven"

Chuck Schuldiner glad to see a mention of him in there. Also Bobby Blitz who has instantly recognisable vocals with good range.

Bobby Blitz's laugh in the beginning of Rotten to The Core. I'm not sure that counts but then again i don't know squat about singing

I definitely agree with Halford on Victim of Changes, but no mention of David Byron or Glenn Hughes?

Byron's vocal range is tremendous, but he's not a metal vocalist. I wouldn't classify Hughes as one either.
