Best and worst vocalists.

[troyguitar]

Worst - Everyone who growls/shouts/grunts/screams/vomits instead of singing.

Best - DIO.

 

[lefty robb]

The dude from Cacophony hands down has to be the worst singer in all of metal history.

Russell Allen is tops for me, best voice in Prog.

Khan from Kamelot is awesome too.

 

[Wi77iam]

Worst: power metal singers. All of them.

 

[Hypothermia]

Best:

The dude in Ill niño

Daniel ... (Pain of salvation)

Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth)

The guy in Carptree

Gavin in DREDG (best of 'em all)

Ozzy Osbourne (Black sabbath)

Worst:

The fucktard in Dragonforce

James Hetfield

Most power metal singers exept Khan in Kamelot, hes awesome

 

[shaneroo]

josh groban's voice makes me want to vomit.
billy corgan sounds like he shouldn't speak, let alone sing (do like some of Smashing's songs though)
i hate my voice as well.....
great singer not mentioned yet, is nils from "sleepytime gorilla museum." sebastian bach used to destroy all as well.....

[Stephen]

At the moment for me...

Best
Kelly Sundown Carpenter (Beyond Twilight/Outworld)
Devin Townsend
Layne Staley
Mikael Åkerfeldt
Ozzy Osbourne

Worst
Dave Mustaine (Just has some horrible timbre to his voice that i dislike)
James Hetfield (Back in the day was great)
Alexi Laiho
Zakk Wylde (BLS, Pride and Glory was when he could sing)
And People who use pitch correction because its obvious that they can't sing!

 

[oompa]

Best: Mike Patton, i think he's the best in rock/metal music on diversity, accuracy, resource and personality.

Worst: DEP singer and all the other scream-metal bands. i really really dislike all the pointlesscreamstorandomnotes bands. they're so un-metal

 

[nespythe]

Best:As much as I dislike power metal,Hansi Kursch(Blind Guardian) and Chalky (Psycroptic)
Worst: Dave Mustaine, phil anselmo

Annndddd......
The Funniest:Antti Boman(Demilich)

 

[Naren]

And since this thread got bumped AGAIN, I would just like to point yet once again that the worst singer in the world hands down is still Macey Gray.

hate that bitch.

 

[Triple-J]

josh groban's voice makes me want to vomit.

I had no idea who he was until I saw him on a talk show recently and now the sheer horror of his "voice" has been etched upon my psyche!
The worst part is not only is he a modern day Barry Manilow but he's 100% personality free too just think of Patrick Bateman from the book/movie American Psycho but with a piano in front of him and not a dead prostitute and I'm sure you'll catch my drift.

 

[renzoip]

My Favorites:

1. Russel Allen - Symphony X
2. Sharon Den Aldel - Within Temptation
3. Khan - Kamelot

The one I don't like:

1. Stu Block - Into Eternity: Range but no tone, nasaly singing. He needs to specialize instead or trying to sing and growl and not being god at either.

2. Anette Olzon - Nightwish: She is good but I find her not to be a good fit for a band like Nightwish.

3. ZP - Dragonforce: I saw them live 3 times and the guy can't sing live half as good as he does on the CD.

Also, I love Mike Portnoy but he needs to stay away from the mic. Anyone with me on that?

 

[liamh]

Best:
James LaBrie (give him a break, the reason he doesnt sing great live is because he ruptured his vocal chords from food poisoning)
Sting
John Anderson
Mikael Akerfeldt
Diamond David Lee Roth
Worst:
I guess that Oli guy from bmth is pretty shit, or any-other death-core singers especially the ones who pig-squeel, seriously?? why??
