I enjoy hearing female singers. State-side, there aren't many (rock) bands with women in them, so I end up listening to stuff like Nightwish, WT, Lacuna Coil, etc.
I definitely prefer female vocalists in most cases. I just think they sound better, especially in metal.
anyone who enjoys marco singing should look into Northern Kings, his other band. They do mainly covers but all are quite enjoyable
I haven't listened to them yet, but I'll look into them. I have tried his other band, Tarot, before. Not a big fan of them, but I did really like the song "Ashes to the Stars".
Edit: Oh nice, Northern Kings has Marco AND Tony Kakko AND the lead singer from Charon. That's a quality vocalist ensemble!
