Mikael Akerfeldt(Opeth), Roy Kahn(Kamelot), and Christian Alvestam(former Scar Symmetry) really stand out in the metal scene in terms of vocals. Spencer Chamberlain(Underoath) and Eric Kalsbeek(Textures) are also very talented vocalists as well.
I always find that with metal, good vocals are not really a necessity but if a band has it, they gain an extra edge and add the icing to a cake of riffs, bass lines, and drum fills.
