Tav Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I just listed people I like in my first post. I found it a tad harder to think of singers who I really don't like. The first one that sprung to mind is the singer from Glass jaw...watching them in a studio session you can see the way he really over pronounces his singing...Ape Dos Mil is an OK tune but I can't stand his vocals for any length of time.Also I forgot to mention Freddy Mercury...legend he should be in my top 5.

Bodast Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Geddy Lee's voice was the thing that put me off Rush when I first heard them actually... they've grown on me now but I still don't think his voice is that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 what about the voice of geddy lee, how does it get so high, i wonder if he talks like an ordinary guy, i know him and he does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott! Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Best:Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd) - emotional, clear, and at the same time, totally rawking.Matt Bellamy (Muse) - incredible range. I was trying to sing along to Plug-in Baby and my mum came in and asked if there was something wrong with the computer because of that weird noiseBono (U2) - Say what you like, but he's unbelievable passionate-sounding.Thom Yorke (Radiohead) - sounds like he's feeling everything he's singing about.Paul McCartney (Beatles) - Oh! Darling is brilliant.Worst:Morrisey - just kill yourself and for god's sake, shut up.Serj Tankian (System of a Down) - I know he's technically talented, but I just find his vocals intensely gratingThe guy from the Bravery - trying and failing to sound exactly like Morrisey.Ian Brown - seems to have got his post in the Roses purely for his charismaAxl Rose - see above (strange coincidence!)

Demon Of The Fall Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 BESTMain singer in Opeth - Opeth (talk a bout range.

Lemonade Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Ian Brown (shite live)I think I'm being a bit generous there, cos lets face it, he's shit on the records too.Oh I just thought of another one I LOVEKaren O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - what a voice that woman has... on the Fever To Tell album she can go from making me weep (Maps) to making me erect (Black tongue, Tick) in the space of two songs.

[/quote']Good call on Karen O. Why is everyone harping on about Ian Brown as a singer? He has never been about talent as a musician, he has a long lasting legacy from being the singer for one of the best British bands ever, and is also cool as fuck generally. Without him there would be no career for Liam Gallagher and all the other wannabe monkey boys. Although i'm sure many would say that's a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psydoll Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Good:*Mike Patton: Pretty obvious I was gonna go for him really. I've loved basically everything he's been involved with, he can rap, sing, scream, make burbly noises better than your local lunatic and does it all while looking good. I can't enthuse about his voice enough.*Chris Cornell: Sky-scraping vocals. Again I just love the guy's voice.*Katie Jane-Garside (Queen Adreena): Never have I heard a woman scream like this [quiet smutmasters.] Her voice holds up well live and I love the little-girl-lost vocals going into thunderous I-shall-have-your-testicles-as-an-unattractive-necklace thang.*Jessicka (Jack Off Jill): See above basically. Although I haven't seen her live.*Guy McKnight (The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster): Another one for great versatility which he can do live as well. Love his vocals - I'm not even offended when he screams that he wants to make sweet love to my mother. Or words to that effect.I'm sure I've missed someone out. Someone that should be replacing Cornell...give me time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim BENCH Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Holy shit I forgot to mention Maynard James Keenan, he's one of my all time favourite singers. His pros - Versitile Singer with great range and numerous vocal styles. You just have to listen to Tool in contrast to A Perfect Circle to see. Can hold a note and scream and a shout longer than I've ever thought possible see 'the grudge' fair enough there's delay on the vocal helping it along but after seeing it done longer live there's no disputing the matter.His cons - answers on a postcard please.another bad singer I forgot to mention was James Blunt. Horrible voice. Sounds like he's trying to sing his songs in Club Form a la Vic Reeves, and has crap lyrics like 'You're beautiful its true' and 'those three wise men they've got a semi by the sea'. Frankly I don't care if men of high intelegence are having trouble getting it up at the coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
