I'm a big fan of growling/screaming. By cookie monster, I specifically refer to the monotonous grunts of the brutal death/tech death styles.

You make a good point.

Mark Lanegan from Screaming Trees. I also always like Richard Butler from Psychedelic Furs. Has a very unique voice. I'll give another vote for Tom Waits too.

I thing "unclean" voice is one of the very essence of rock&roll, but correct me if I'm worng

 

[Roundwounds]

Mikael Akerfeldt is quite awesome.

Tim Swinger of Kiss it Goodbye fame. That dude seriously sounding like someone was pulling his fingernails out with pliers.

When done properly (and this is the key), "unclean" vocals are simply amazing to listen to.

My Favorites:

Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) - Very coherent and great range. To me, he is the benchmark.
Greg Chandler (Esoteric) - Listen to the song "Circle" off the album The Maniacal Vale. That album is a real challenge sometimes, but man, what outstanding range and power.
Rowan London (Virgin Black) - Not the best death vocals, but to sing cleanly like he does and to still pull off deep guttural vocals is not human.
Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow the Sun) - Great screams and good clean vocals.

x2 Phil Anselmo

Antti Boman (Demilich) - His inhumanly low guttural vocals are without parallel

Madeline Peyroux. For me, its an acquired taste.

Yes.

Also, Chrigel Glanzmann from Eluveitie sounds fantastic IMO.
