2 - Maynard James Keenan (TOOL/A Perfect Circle)

He's the singer of my favorite band, so I had to place him high. This may a bold statement, but I seriously think he has the best voice of anyone I've ever heard. He can sing really melodically and beautifully one moment, then rip it in high gear and yell his lungs out the next, while still sounding insanely good. His lyrics are extremely smart and thought provoking and not too weird so that average people like me can understand what he's talking about. They can also be really shocking and offensive, yet with practically no cursing, that's called poetry. But it's his humbleness that I really like. For years he's been leading a band that has had massive success, yet he barely ever does any interviews or anything. He's all about the art and not at all for the showbizz and there's barely anyone today who can claim that. He can also brag about being one of the very few people who fronted two kick ass bands at the same time.
