We are still meeting as it was. Now that we have met in two threads, we are officially pals.

Awesome, cyber-friends. :p

Hard to pick, but I'd say Bob Dylan and Robert Plant (Led Zep if you didn't know).

James Hetfield of metallica is good also. Actually in my opinion hes the best.

Awesome, cyber-friends. :p

Now if you'll just meet me in my van by the river, I have some delicous candy for you...

Fuck that! Bubba in cell block C would like to speak to you. Says he recognizes you from somewhere.
*priestmobile doesn't stop, in response I jump into AAmobile and resume the chase.*:mad: Im coming for you!

( AA stands for atlerboys annonymous)


This really isn't as funny as it was in my head. Damnit.

I have a few.

I like Chet Baker's voice. His trumpet playing ain't bad either.

Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, for some generic examples.

Speaking of generic, Johnny Cash. Nothing ground breaking there.

I like Dawn Upshaw, she does new works and I respect that.

Joe Williams rocks. I saw him in concert before he died..."The song was written before sex became germ warefare..." Fuckin' love that guy.

There might be some others that I dig, I just can't think of them right now. I like some gruff voices, but I can't bring any to mind.

I want to hurt both of you right now...I won't, obviously, I just want to.

Messiah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah_Marcolin), probably. I usually don't focus on vocals so much and often I think certain songs would be better without them, but this guy's voice is just so powerful that it really brings something to the music.

I'd probably choose a gravelly voice were I composing music of my own, though.

Freddie Mercury, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origa

I've always liked Nick Cave's voice (at its best on 'The Boatman's Call').

Actually, I can't forget Captain Beefheart either. The guy was unique (4 and a half octave range).

It's between Mike Patton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Patton) and Johan_Hegg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Hegg).

Anthony_Hegarty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_Hegarty) and joanna newsom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanna_Newsom) come to mind, but there are many others. i generaly like weird voices, they can even be ugly.

You missed my white text. :p

joanna newsom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanna_Newsom) .

*shudder*

*shudder*

:) you either love her or you totaly hate her.
and i bet she looks better than Messiah :p

David St. Hubbins. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_St_Hubbins)

Her voice really annoys me. I just want to shake her & yell "sing properly you pretentious wanker".

i like her voice, it fits with the rest of the music, and sometimes she gives me a piloerection. just listen to the begining of cosmia or something and tell me you don't get one.

Er, i'll pass, but I suppose I can indirectly thank her for making me find out what piloerection means...

you see there's something good in every one of us.

oh and i forgot to mention: Efrim Menuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efrim_Menuck), i like his voice very much.

I still can't believe no one has mentioned the gravely monster-tone of Mr. Lordi. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lordi)

Daniel Gildenlow of Pain of Salvation comes to mind, Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian and Marco Hietala from Tarot and Nightwish.

I'd say either this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Cobain

or this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Arm

Really both are soo good

Mikael Åkerfeldt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikael_%C3%85kerfeldt)

I love Michael Crawford's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crawford) voice.

thom yorke, freddy mercury and omar rodriguez, brilliant rock vocalists

Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson is my favorite. Followed by Deep Purple's Ian Gillan. Listen to Purple's Child in Time. If the vocals don't blow your mind, I don't know what will.

Freddy Mercury probably. Personal favourites though Jim Morrison and Phill Lynott. Also Paul McCartney is an excellent rock vocalist at times, songs like Long tall Sally etc.

Chuck Billy of Testament

Animal of Anti-Nowhere League :p

Dave Vanian from The Damned.

Tim Armstrong (may not be great vocally but manages to thrive off appearing a pretentious wank).



(Why do I always take these favourite topics as a reason to put three or four people down? Might just be my apparent decisiveness.)

Leona Lewis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leona_Lewis)

She's new on the block, but she is fantastic.
She makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
She deserved to win the x-factor!! :)

Freddie Mercury

Robert Plant

Glenn Danzig

Jello Biafra

No one's mentioned god himself, RONNIE JAMES DIO
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_James_Dio
or Tom Waits
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_waits
or Lemmy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy
theres a few others aswell that I like such as Meat Loaf, Paul Di'anno (Iron Maiden), Sparky (Demented Are Go), Jello Biafra, Jack Black and last but definatley not least, great voice, but even better style

"Fuck me, i'm rich!" ;)

One damn cool performer right there.

Don' you mean: fuck me I'm sick?
It's from 'Touch Me I'm Sick', right?

Uh-huh, but when I saw them live, he substituted that line. :)

Hrm, this is going to be interesting..

Well, on one hand:
Tarja (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarja_Turunen)
Simone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_Simons)
Sharon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharon_den_Adel)
And Elisa Martin, formerly of Dark Moor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_moor)

On the other:
Alexi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexi_Laiho)
Angela (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Gossow)
And who can forget...
Rob Halford (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Halford)

Hmm, I haven't really heard much older/original doom metal, so maybe I should try Candlemass then.

oh and i forgot to mention: Efrim Menuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efrim_Menuck), i like his voice very much.
It's best when the whole band sings together. Particularly at the end/climax of Blind, Blind, Blind (http://www.archive.org/details/asmz2006-09-05.flac16), if you've heard that yet. ;)

saw it live :p . i think - it was 10 months ago it's from the upcoming album, isn't it?
*impatiently waits for new album and european tour (this spring!)*

but i especially like his voice on 'the triumph of our tired eyes'

Kate Bush.

This discussion is over.

Indeed you should. St. Vitus and Trouble are also more than worth a look when it comes to old doom as well. Out of curiousity, what bands do you know?

It's a three-way tie between John Lydon, Bob Mould, and Geddy Lee.
