Hands down, old Ronnie is THE voice of Heavy Metal, the tiny Italian-American that could, he's lost it lately though, his range is a pale shadow of his former glories, but he's still better than Ozzy...
and others, the list is long, I like
Leonard Cohen
Nick Cave
Howlin' Wolf
Yeah all men of the gravel throat, but if we're gonna talk vocal skills, few can match the late great untouchable, inimitable Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, now that guy could smash glass houses...what a voice, volume & range and bell like clarity...and endurance too! Ghazals were never quite the same...
Azeri singer Alim Qasimov is also quite the throatmaster, vibrato from another world...he did a duet with the late Jeff Buckley...I also like the Tuvan throat singers...lotsa weird stuff really :)
