For some reason, I really like male artists who can do a mean falsetto.

how about Michael Stipe (of REM) on the song "Tongue" off of Monster?

Good point. I am adding him.

listen to much Sigur Ros?

Of course. Thanks, Nick!

I like both Frank Black's forays into falsetto, and, although he doesn't use it much, Bruce Springsteen actually has a decent range.

I don't know if you like Prince or not, but he's definately one of the falsetto kings, I think

Also Mick Jagger

Yes...the Buckleys are brilliant. Try listening to 'Sometimes' by the band called 'Ours'.
