Bob Catley has been the underrated singer of English pomp/AOR rockers Magnum since their formation in 1972, and has also released a string of high quality solo albums that take on a more metal influenced approach. He's also well known for his work with Avantasia and Ayreon.
Note: This OP hasn't been updated since 2015 or so at the latest, so I have moved it into this WIP section with the intent of it eventually being properly updated. Therefore, this listing of his vocal range should not be taken as comprehensive or cited as a reference elsewhere.
