For the people who mentioned Mike Patton, where should I start off when it comes to him? I've heard he's kind of abrasive, but I've been into singers like that more and more lately.

If you want something along the lines of Faith No More, then I'd go with either of the Tomahawk albums, Mr. Bungle's California, Fantomas' The Director's Cut or that Lovage album.

If you want more experimental stuff go with Mr. Bungle's first 2 albums or the other 3 Fantomas albums.

I'd avoid either of his solo albums.

Faith No More - King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime
Mr. Bungle - California

Faith No More are the easiest gateway

Now that I think about it, the Freddie Mercury nomination makes a lot of sense.

Faith No More is the most accessible of his, then Mr. Bungle, then Fantomas. His solo projects are experimental as hell. He's downright unrecognizably beautiful on Eyvind Kang - Virginal Co-ordinates. Also, his work with Dillinger Escape Plan, Irony is the New Dead Scene (or whatever it's called) is awesome. Dude has range; dude has ability; dude is a fucking vocal acrobat -- kinda the male Bjork.

yeah, Dillinger Escape Plan's Irony Is A Dead Scene EP with Patton on vocals is the best thing theyve put out, and the only thing of theres i feel the need to listen to every so often

I actually think Julian Casablanca has a great rock voice when he actually rouses himself.

he KILLS on "Fear of Sleep". his voice shines on that track especially.

too bad the song has no hook or rewarding melody.
