Malfatron Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Who are your favorite vocalists in music Doesnt have to be the best Heres mine in just the order it came to my mind 1. Mike Patton - Mr. Bungle/Faith No More The man can hit so many octaves and can sing at any pace. Just a wonder to behold 2. Jello Biafra - Dead Kennedys Whats to say here. Such captivating vocals. By far the best "punk" type voice 3. Su Tissue - Suburban Lawns. Such a unique playful voice and really elevates the band 4. Gene Ween - Ween Can be silly, serious, heartfelt, vulgar, and can be elite at every genre he tries. Seen him live 3 times and it was always great 5. Freddy Mercury - Queen duh 6. Courtney Barnett A cooler version of Jewel. 7. Dave Mustaine - Megadeth Megadeths band is awesome but Daves clean voice sets it apart. The last great album was Youthenasia and hes not as great live, but its pretty elite, especially for metal 8 Bradley Roberts - Crash Test Dummies not a one hit wonder. Hes like an opera. 9 Cibo Matto Japanese singers. They are awesome 10 Leonard Cohen The master. Honorable mentions John S. Hall - King Missle Andrew Eldritch - Sisters of Mercy Mark Mothersbaugh - Devo Regina Spektor Eugene Hütz - Golgol Bordello David Bowie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Roy Orbison, Sam Cook, Tori Amos, Julian Casablancas, Ian Curtis (Joy Division), Ian MacKaye (Fugazi), Ry Cooder, JJ Cale, Daniel Rossen, Jarboe, Zappa I'm a big fan of Steve Albini in most respects except personality. I love his voice but he's not really known for that. @Malfatron absolutely nailed it with Mike Patton and Aaron Freeman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_shadows Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Steve Perry Freddy Mercury Floor Jansen Sharon Den Adel Dani Filth (acquired taste but I wish I could do those shrieks) Johan Hegg J.P Leppäluoto Peter Steele Tony Kakko (though I don't listen to much Sonata Arctica anymore still love his voice) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Good names already mentioned. As a big metal guy, Burton C. Bell from Fear Factory needs to be on the list. This is the group that pioneered heavy/clean lyrics, and it’s due to his work. Fantastic front man in his prime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an amazing frontman overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammymvpknight Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Art Garfunkel deserves to be somewhere on a shortlist. I’ll add Celine Dion and Whitney Houston as women 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Not a big music person but a few obvious ones for me are Chris Cornell, Layne Staley and Jennifer Nettles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamq Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Jello Biafra is a great shout. DK is one of those bands that's better the louder you turn it up Young Bob Dylan had a beautiful voice. The smoking and drinking transformed it into something I still love, but many don't Otis Redding Johnny Cash Alice Cooper Meatloaf Donovan Ozzy Olivia Newton John Laura Branigan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
