Your Favorite Vocalist

For shame at the lack of mention for Chris Cornell, Eddie Veder and Steven Tyler... Some of the greatest American Rock vocalists of all time.
I'd mention Robert Plant in the same sentence to but he's English obviously.

Two great tastes that go great together.
Keith Buckely of Every Time I Die
This man is my idol.
He used to be an English teacher (which I am).
He is a lyrical genius, writing compelling and thought-provoking lyrics to a stupidly jaw-dropping degree of awesomeness.
His screaming and singing are both equally beautiful.
And he is incredibly witty and hilarious.
Have a song...

Although I don't like most of the bands you mentioned, big up massive respect, yo, for Brian Fallon. The man took everything that was great about Strummer and Springsteen, combined it, added his own flavour to it and created something magical. What a brilliant, inspiring man.TheRookie8 said:
I have a bunch of favorites (Freddie Mercury!), but I'm only going to post one because she's less well-known: Mari Boine, a Norwegian/Sami singer. She has this amazingly earthy-sounding voice that I just love.
Paul Rogers of Free
Steve Tyler of Aerosmith
Freddy Mercury of Queen
David Bowie of David Bowie
George Michael of Wham.
I know that last one is a bit left field but actually listen to his voice, it is incredible. Find a video of him singing with Queen after Mercury's death, seriously.

Eric Adams tops my list, with Dio as a close second. Eric's voice, in my opinion, combines the best of Dio, Freddy Mercury and Ian Gillian.TheOneBearded said:
This is difficult
Cleans:
Jeff Buckley
Brain Fallon
(Those two songs are just perfect)
Screams:
Gonna have to be one of these but I'm probably still forgetting some.
These are really love or hate ones, especially the last one. Screamo style screams often take a while to get into, even for people already into metal and hardcore.
David Michael Marion
Jacob Bannon
Don't actually know the guy's name but the band's called State Faults, used to be called Brother Bear
Rapping:
Zack de la Rocha
Del the Funky Homosapien
Probably Zack de la Rocha actually
If you were to ask me on another day I'd probably say something different though.
Really indecisive

Grant Nicholas of Feeder, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, Roger Daltrey of The Who can't believe he hasn't been mentioned yet the man is a vocal god Thor like power.
Nobody has mentioned Roy Khan of Kamelot yet? I am dissapoint, Escapist. My favourite female vocalist would have to be Simone Simons of Epica, with an honourable mention to Lzzy Hale.

I had stumbled upon them on their "Old White Lincoln", "59' Sound" and "American Slang" albums. They came from punk roots, so it was a blessing I found them. If you like them, give Nothington (band) a shot. Particularly their songs, "Where I Stand" and "Don't have to Wait". Or perhaps "Chris Wollard and the Ship Thieves". They have a country twang, but they do good. So does Milton Mapes in their cover of "Lonesome Town".
Sorry bout the text. This thread rocks.

Well Matt Bellamy of Muse, Jeff Buckley, Laura Marling and Alexander Ebert of Edward Sharpe are all awesome and pretty unique, while Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance deserves special mention due to the effort that you can hear, buuuuuuut my favourite vocalist has to be.....
Paul Westerberg of the Replacements. The dude just puts everything he has into some of his songs, screaming into his mic, it's beautiful.
Though at no point is it more clear than in one particular song:
This song is just painful to listen to. It's beautiful and so heartfelt, it sounds like he's dying as he's bloody well singing it.

Axl Rose.
In addition to his unique raspy voice (which I can understand how some people don't like), he is the only performer that puts as much emotion into his performance. He'd the only singer who coveys exactly how he feels through his performance.

Never understood the love for this guy. Absolutely can't stand his voice.TheRookie8 said:
Agree with Brian Fallon though
