The lead singer Michael Sweet of Stryper has one of the highest falsetto tenor voices I've ever heard. Though i am far from religious at all anymore, yes i needed clarify that first, I still love Stryper a christian glam metal band form the 80's. Mike could really wail, and still does. I still think they just all out ROCK even today.

He really showcases his highs in this song along with Oz Foxes shredding echoing his vocals kind of like Anselmo and Dime in Cemetary gates in this one. ( warning cheesey christian lyrics, but truly excellent voices and musicianship) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERMKZhFwGEU 80's

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7ecl6Hm0Mk 2014 STILL ROCKIN (at 1:26 you can hear Mike bring that high note)

Another I'd also include is Don Dokken that guy before he damaged his voice was also a glam metal high note king.
