What Is Your Favourite Vocalist/Singer?

[Shoden]

Name him/her/them. It's hard to narrow down to just 1. I got 3 to list.

James Hetfield, Ronnie James Dio, Blackie Lawless. This is so far though. So name yours, this'll be fun, if they sing for emo bands then I must say they're open for being bashed... Enjoy ^_^. I would name more but it'd make things more complicated. Name as many as you like, just don't get too carried away.... (obey the blue chocobo gif)

[black_cloud]

-Mikael Åkerfeldt: got to love how he go from death vocals to stuff like Damnation
-David Gilmour: dude has a great voice even at his age
-Cristina Scabbia: has an amazing voice and the fact that I'm italian doesn't hurt lol
-David Draiman: just saw these guys in concert and the things this guy does with his voice is pure awesome-ness :)
-Robert Plant: any list should include this singer, who is one of the best of all time
I'm sure there are alot more but I really can't think of anymore at the moment.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Freddie Mercury

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

Shakira's voice makes me hot.
The fact that she has a smoking body doesn't hurt either.

[BardTard]

Amy Lee and Jewel :D

[bipper]

Ben Burnley of Breakin Benjamin - hands down.

[Crushed Hope]

Daniel Gildenlow is peerless to me.

[Cookie]

Paul Wall

[Shiny]

Female Vocals: Mariah Carey when she doesn't hurt my ears with her piercing high notes and Whitney Houston when she wasn't using drugs.

Male Vocals: Freddie Mercury and Elvis when he was still alive. Also, many others that aren't really famous.

[Slade]

David Gilmour - Pink Floyd
He's always had a great voice and I think it has perhaps gotten even better with age. Eg: 'What Do You Want From Me'. Coupled with his guitaring, he is one the most talented musicians ever.

Roger Waters - Pink Floyd
I love the way Waters sings.....I can't explain it, it's just awsome and contrasts so well with Gilmour, especially in songs such as 'Comfortably Numb' and 'Mother'.

Brandon Boyd - Incubus
This guy is amazing where vocals are concerned. He can doing almost everything. High pitch, low pitch, screaming, whatever. S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and 'A Crow Left of the Murder' albums show off his singing capabilities the most.

Anthony Keidis - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Anthony has a voice that can also hit many different tones and pitches and is capable of going from a funky rap to a melodic type vocal. 'Around the World' and 'Venice Queen' display these qualities well.

I like others, but these guys are my favorites

;)

[Germ Hamee]

#1) Maynard James Keenan. Amazing range, and can sing countless different styles.

#2) Amy Lee. Also, very nice range, and just has a really impressive voice.

[GooeyToast]

Agreed.

I forgot to add Bjork to my list.

[Faris]

Sharon den Adel. (Merely because I'm obsessed with Within Temptation)

[Mythra]

Crap! Can't freakin' believe I forgot Maynard. One of my favorite singers of all time and I forgot him lol. Actually listening to "Orestes" right now. Yeah, he is def. one of the best singers imo.

[Zeldy]

Lauri Ylönen, Jyrki69, (I don't know his second name. I even went on their official site and all I got was 'Jyrki69')
Heinie, (Man whats with Finnish people and hiding their second names?)
Jonne Aaron, Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull, Tarja Turunen, Björk, Amy Lee and Sharon den Adel.

[DK]

Howard Jones is my favourite singer around atm, Bruce Dickinson is also a god.

Freddie Mercury best frontman of any band ever, though.

[Shoden]

Bruce Dickinson



Dammit, I knew I forgot someone. =(

[Germ Hamee]

Agreed.

I forgot to add Bjork to my list.

Whoa, so did I. >.> She definitely wins the category for most unique voice. I have Joga as my ringtone, how did I manage to forget her?

[Reine]

The lead singers of all my favourite bands

Its often the vocalist that gives songs the awesomeness they have, hence why a lot bands just suck, because the vocalist cant sing xD

Anyway, im gonna have to go with the leads of Metallica, NIN, The Rasmus, Muse and Coldplay.

[DeathKnight]

Bruce Dickinson



Dammit, I knew I forgot someone. =(

[Skogs]

Jeff Buckley, Taj Mahal, Muddy Waters

[Cz]

I'm surprised there's been no mention of Thom Yorke yet. He's definitely one of my favourites. I also rather like Sufjan Stevens, Conor Oberst and Juanita Stein; not because they're necessarily the most talented but because of the personality they each put into their vocals.

[Madame Adequate]

Freddie Mercury best frontman of any band ever, though.

QFT.

Ryann Donnelly is possibly my fave right now. I love Brandon Boyd, too.

[daggertrepe]

Janice Dickinson.


lol j/k freddie mercury

[stuffing]

Maynard of course

[Shaded Mazoku]

Oh, let's see. I like David Bowie a lot, though mostly his earlier stuff, and I'm also fond of Tori Amos and Loreena McKennitt. But I mainly listen to Japanese music, so I guess I'd have to say that my favourite vocalist is Kyo of Dir en grey.

[Rostum]

Jeff Buckley, Matt Bellamy (Muse) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead).

[Ashley Schovitz]

Shouldn't the title be who is yourt favorite vocalist/ singer, not what as you're referring to a person?


Well besides that awful grammatical error, I'll tell you mine, my two favorite singers are Aaliyah and Selena.

[Nominus Experse]

Males: Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle), Peter Murphy (Bauhaus), Brandon Boyd (Incubus), and Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails)
