I think A Design For Life is probably his best vocal, so much passion.

Design for Life is his best vocal by some margin, nobody else could have sang it.

Honourable mentions to everything on Gold against the Soul.

This is so hard, given that I could (and often do!) listen to James sing all day...

Removables second chorus, he really lets go and belts and it's bloody amazing and makes me smile.
Nobody Loved You think this has been mentioned but there's a lot of audible pain in there. Some people would have let it get soppy [see Queen's "No-One But You" as a case in point] but James harnesses it and creates a beautiful, haunting performance whilst regaining composure.
PCP just for the speed he sings at and how many words he crams into those few minutes. A lot of people couln't have done it.

Also, as an aside, does anyone else think that on Judge Yrself he doesn't really sound like "James"? I don't know if it's just that I was tired this morning but it came on my iPod and I was struck by how different he sounds.

THB era gave him a good vocal sneer.

Even compared to the other stuff around that time. I don't know what it is that's different, but it's definitely something...

It is great, wish they'd dust it off. Only seen them play it once.
