Best Male Vocalist in a current Rock Band?

[OCNewbie]

Talking about the lead singer of a rock band, and purely their vocal tone, sound, talent, etc. I'll put up a few that I like a lot.

Shinedown - Brent Smith (probably my fave of this list)
Nickelback - Chad Kroger
Disturbed - David Draiman
Staind - Aaron Lewis
Jet - Cameron Muncey

Those are my favorites that come to mind first.... do you agree/disagree, who do you like?

Disputed.

Jorn Lande - Masterplan/Jorn (Audio sample - a tho not his best work)
He sounds almost exactly the same as David Coverdale (Deep Purple/Whitesnake), but IMO better.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Bruce Dickinson's first two solo albums were rock, so does he count even though his newer ones are more metal-oriented?

 

[imported_bum]

Maynard (more for the lyrics, but the voice is great too) and the singer from "Ra." Don't know his name though.

 

[wfbberzerker]

Cake - John McCrea

 

[Mani]

Chris Cornell of audioslave/formerly soundgarden

 

[touchmyichi]

Radiohead - Thom Yorke
The Shins - James Mercer
Wolf Parade - Spencer Krug

For solos-
Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird

:/ at the OP's list (Staind and Nickelback are horrendous bands)

While I love Cake, his voice is too monotone and flat to be great.

It does a great job of completing the band's sound, though.
