1: John Lydon- PIL/Sex Pistols
2: Graham Lewis- Wire/Dome/Solo work
3: Humphrey B.Flaubert (Damien Cowell)- TISM

Female:
1: Bjork
2: Lisa Gerard- Dead Can Dance

This is sacrilege because theoretically nothing about his singing was good.

But my favourite of all time is Joey Ramone. I don't think any singer has ever so perfectly fitted the music being pumped out behind them. Everything about him, despite him having nothing going for him, was cool.

If picking on absolute quality I'd go Plant, Mercury probably Thom Yorke
