I always find these Top Fives impossible  :? .  I'll have to do 5 (in no particular order) and loads of honourable mentions.  It's all pretty much bluesy hard rock and old-school metal I'm afraid.  Here we go:

Glenn Hughes
Layne Staley (with Jerry Cantrell - what a double-team!)
Ronnie James Dio
Ray Gillen
Keith Caputo

And the rest.  Sorry, there are loads:

Doug Pinnick (and everyone in King's X)
James Dewar
Bon Scott
John Garcia
Chris Cornell
Eric Wagner
Paul Shortino
Tony Martin
Darin Wood
Paul Rodgers
Rob Halford
Nicky Moore
Ian Gillan
Lou Gramm
Amy Lee (shoot me, I love Evanescence... )
Týr (the whole band)
Peppi Marchello
Jeff Keith
+1 to Steve Marriott

And some great guitarists who are also fantastic singers:

Dave Meniketti
Leslie West
Dave Gilmour
Richie Kotzen (even better on vocals than guitar, the bugger!)
Warren Haynes
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM
