30 Seconds to Mars

Despite their increased accessibility, frontman Jared Leto’s vocal style hasn’t lost its edge and is still as dark and haunting as ever. Whatever your preconceived notions about him are, listen to Leto live, and he’ll make it worth the price of admission for you. The dude sings like he means it, like it’s the last performance he’ll ever give. Maybe it’s those acting skills at work, but his flair for theatrics only makes a 30 performance that much more evocative. - Brien Overly
