oh yeah, someone on the other page brought up matthew bellamy, one of my favourite singers. As you suggest Merk, Knights of Cydonia is nothing overally spectacular vocal wise although it does get some awesome operatic sounding acapella stuff going towards the end there, ala queen. If you want to check out songs showing off his vocal ability check out "microcuts" (sings the entire song in falsetto), backing vocals of "megalomania" at 3min 39sec - 3min 42sec and 4min 13sec - 4min 20sec (again, awesome falsetto), but then "cave" particularly the chorus for power and emotion, as well as "citizen erased" and "hoodoo" which shows ability to switch registers often, with "hoodoo" showing he also has a good lower register and good vibrato.
Microcuts, megalomania and citizen erased are off their album origin or symmetry whilst hoodoo is off their latest album, black holes & revelations.
You guys should check it out, even if you don't like the music you'll still probably appreciate the musicianship.
