For me? Mercury, hands down. And I'm not even a Queen fan. Plant also has a great voice, Halford is really not my style even though I think he has a fantastic voice. I could throw a few other names to the table: - Geddy Lee (Rush) - Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) - Geoff Tate...

Not my favorite prog metal band, but definitely a perfect example of good prog metal. Fantastic instrumentalists (specially Michael Romeo), great singer and damn good records. If I had to pick a favorite album I'd probably say V ... but then again I might give a different answer on a...

RE0? They might be the kind of neutral you're looking for. If not, they're a pretty good bet for what they sell for anyway.

I gotta say I just LOVE the ety sound signature. I love(d) - they don't get much fun nowadays - my er6i, and I was blown away with the er4p's I had for a while. However, there's a serious BUT that just made me let the etys go (and not get them again when I was in the market for a new pair) which...
