Rating: Muse

You might not like his band - hell, you might not even class their anthemic, intergalactic sound as rock - but there's no doubting that when Bellamy is at full pelt, and at highest pitch, it's an experience to behold.

Operatic, soulful and pricked with emotion, his voice is a true instrument (more, in fact than Muse's drummer ever gets to play with) and can be stunningly impressive.
