i dont think anberlin is all that great vocally...ive seen them live and he wasnt able to hit the album notes even closely and ive seen several vids of him not being able to. again to continue it but i would strongly look at coheed & cambria if you want high vocals... ill throw this vid up for further proof
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMM0_mQGXpQ really starting at like 1:34 but i would recommend watching the whole thing
IMO Anberlin is in a league of their own in modern music, they are still very unique sounding. I have seen a bunch of live videos where he sounds great.
I don't like Coheed...
Danyel's got one amazing voice: Rober Randolph and the Family Band - "I Need More Love" he starts in about 0:40
Tim Owens has some pretty high moments throughout this one: Judas Priest - "Cathedral Spires"
Always loved Cornell's voice, thought he was often hit or miss live: Soundgarden - "Jesus Christ Pose" There's a short interview at the beginning of this one, song starts around 1:05, vocals come in around 2:30

idk... to me anberlin sounds way to generic musically. im not sure how to word that in a more direct way i guess. tahts just my opinion but they sound very similiar to every other poprock band out there. but thats just me, im not saying i dont like them, theyre alright, just not my shot of whiskey
I've actually seen Anberlin live... They didn't stick out to me, to the point where I can't remember a single thing about them, other than the fact that I saw them.
this isn't my cup of tea... but i'd be willing to bet money that Luciana can go higher than mariah (cleanly atleast)
Queen of the Night Aria is one of the highest that I'm aware of.... it's like listening to Maynard ferguson lol
p.s. best I can tell the highest note is F.. above high C... but i could be mistaken

It's certainly not as high as it used to be. On the Snakes & Arrows Live DVD he strains to hit the high notes that he effortlessly hit in his earlier days. Understandable, since age and countless thousands of shows have taken their toll. It's maybe one reason why Rush generally stays away from their earlier stuff.
My vote for highest vocals would have to be Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge. 4 octive range also. Video on youtube that shows it all ->
Crazy stuff IMO. Live once when playing the song Blackbird in Seattle, he held the ending note for 31 seconds. Just my 2 cents

Jessica Cleave was in EWF very early along with Bailey and she sang higher than he did.
IIRC Minnie Riperton had a side project that was only sold at Petsmart. She gets my vote.
this is probably the highest male vocals ever recorded (without use of falsetto)
it is the only castrati to ever be recorded

Not the highest vocal recording ever.. lol... but for you guys who are into the heavy rock check out the song alien on the myspace. Awesome Australian band.

Probably for the best saying as they really hit their stride in the 80's! I always preferred it when Geddy wasn't singing the screechy highs, he is gifted with a beautiful singing voice.
