I think Storm is my favourite. It's just so emotional, the vocal delivery is legendary.

Indeed, his voice works are really good. I've showed them to a friend of mine who is studying Music Theory in Hamburg and he was blown away with Ziltoid, of how could Devin applied Metal with Opera Vocals in such a good way. He instantly became a fan.
Also, I really like this one:

The best thing is when good vocal piece can use words to enhance a melody.
Surf's Up by Brian Wilson is the perfect example of this, plus I love sharing the song. It's amazing music but when you listen the words are complete nonsense. They let the music tell the story while they just make the right sounds to go with the melody.
None of the words in the entire album make any sense, really. There are some fantastic lines nonetheless. It's all very effective with the psychedelic feel of the album. Everyone who likes Pet Sounds and/or any of the Beetles stuff from around then should buy the original SMiLE sessions. It's tragic that it was never finished off and released.

That's also true, I've heard many songs that the lyrics simply didn't meant a thing, BUT changed how I perceived the song/music itself. I think that's a better technique than just simply "read a poem" type of song. I'm not saying they're bad or anything like that, I have a couple of songs that I really, REALLY like the lyrics, but for me, music it's all about instruments. Maybe because I grew listening to my grandfather playing guitar by itself.
