The best voice ever

[Miki4]

Old school and new school rock... Who has the best voice ever? Give your opinions.

[Murder*O*Murder]

Adam Lazarra for me.

Robert Smith.

Lead vocals on Third Eye Blind, too.

[funnylittlefrog]

robert smith.morrisey.layne staley.

[spencersface]

Old school and new school rock... Who has the best voice ever? Give your opinions.

Maynard James Keenan. Whether you like his bands (TOOL & A Perfect Circle) or not; the talent is undeniable. His range is ridiculous, his tone is versatile, and he's always on key. He could sing any style and it'd be perfect. His voice continues to develop over the years, and only gets better; he continues to push the limits.

[Liarsenic]

Robert Plant. Fuck everyone else

[ryanisarealboy]

maybe not the best ever, but ted leo has a great voice

[PDon11]

Jeff Buckley, or Thome Yorke

[crwhite21]

Not exactly an unbiased summary of his talent, but I agree.

[night in town]

Freddie Mercury

[Veritas11]

Robert Plant. Fuck everyone else

Agreed.

[spencersface]

Haha well the question of the thread prompted an opinionated answer--not a statistic--and thus it contains bias, as it's my opinion. Glad you agree :)

[Murder*O*Murder]

Freddie Mercury


Good call on that one!

[phoenixinflames]

Robert Plant. Fuck everyone else

This thread should have ended right there.

[IAmNietzche]

Steve Perry

[FinchBulldog2]

Gavin Hayes, Freddie Mercury, Mike Patton, Stephen Jenkins, Matt Davies, Serj Tankian.

[MissPunkChick]

Peope might disagree, but I believe that Chester Bennington (from Linkin Park) Has the best voice.

[thesht_jfm]

robert smith.morrisey.layne staley. layne staley :) and stephen jenkins from third eye blind

[Andy]

All time, Mercury, modern music, Bennington

[a speedo model]

All time, Mercury, modern music, Bennington
i always forget how great Bennington's voice is.

[yodaplaysdrums]

I always liked Steven Tyler's voice and Axl Rose has a pretty good voice too although at times he could sound a little strained.

[aminorthreat55]

Enrico Caruso > all

[snowandlights]

Today: Ted Leo
Classic: Robert Plant/Freddy Mercury

[akillingmoon]

everyone except IAmNietzche (http://www.absolutepunk.net/member.php?u=39399) hasn't listened to hardly any music. He knows what's up. Brad Delp from Boston's voice is incredible. Lou Gramm from Foreigner is an amazing vocalist but Steve Perry from Journey is the best vocalist of all time. Jimi Johnson from Survivor is also rediculously talented. those guys wailed. adam from Tbs sounds awesome but the old school dudes didn't have pitch correction. Max Carl from .38 Special. Stan Bush is a solo artist. No one who has come around from the past 15 years has even compared to those guys.

I agree with you to an extent. In defense of my choice, I was choosing the best voice of vocalists that're active today...although the thread does ask for "ever." Oops. Also, Maynard James Keenan doesn't use any sort of pitch correction on his vocals.

[angelusdomini]

Freddie Mercury

there is no hope for you

[Troy will Fall]

dane cook, baby.

and that jessie lacey guy is pretty good too.

[LostSymphonies]

noone will ever top Robert Plant

[Miki4]

And what do you think about Freddie Mercury?! Don't you consider his voice to be one of the best in the old-school era?!

[Alex Djaferis]

agreed on freddie mercury.

personal favorites are: Dustin Kensrue (thrice), Brandon Boyd (incubus), Roddy Woomble (idlewild)

[lilRIPsta]

classic: Freddy Mercury hands down.

now: Daryl Palumbo easily.

honorable mention: Chris Ruff of Kaddisfly. A grossly underrated singer in a grossly underrated band.

[Tyler Revolution]

claudio sanchez hands down.
this past year i've really come to admire anthony kiedis's voice, too.

You've got to be fucking around.

[OveriseFan]

Freddie Mercury, duh.

[OveriseFan]

Nate Ruess is super underrated. He hits some pretty good notes on Dog Problems.

[Broken Parachute]

Was I the only one who said Robert Plant or was there more?

[myaimistruex3]

maybe not the best ever, but ted leo has a great voice

I don't know who's my favorite of today, but I like his voice alot.

Freddie Mercury

Agreed

Peope might disagree, but I believe that Chester Bennington (from Linkin Park) Has the best voice.

I disagree.

Was I the only one who said Robert Plant or was there more?

A few people agreed.

[Tyler Revolution]

I wouldn't say they're the best, but I enjoy Ray Davies and Lou Reed.

[refusedchick]

matt embree - best voice

rx bandits, matt embree, the sound of animals fighting

sick.

[Rock]

Chris Cornell

[xowearmeout]

old - freddie mercury/steven tyler.
new - anthony green.

i know a lot of people will disagree..

[Scott Weber]

Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury, come on now. Nobody else comes close.

[yourneck]

I've always loved Frank Sinatra's voice. Nobody's mentioned any girls, so I thought I'd add Billie Holiday.

As for today, I'd probably go with Chino from the Deftones.

[Jhut03]

I Dont know what youre thinking but Freddie Mercury is the best singer ever

Jonah Matranga. And Frank Sinatra is cool. And Sarah McLachlin is amazing vocal wise, but her songs suck

[worshipsmusic]

In my opinion, Maynard of tool, Claudio Sanchez (although some people find his voice annoying) or Russel Allen of Symphony X, which is sort of, not in this genre because it's too cool for most of you.

[love_american_style]

Jonah Matranga. And Frank Sinatra is cool. And Sarah McLachlin is amazing vocal wise, but her songs suck

he's my favorite song writer and i love the way he carries his voice.

[Logan95]

Mike Ness
James Hetfield
Dicky Barrett

[catchmealone]

Mike Ness
James Hetfield
Dicky Barrett

haha, are you serious? I love the Bosstones, but best voice ever?

[Logan95]

yeah, i thought about it for awhile and it asks for the "best" not "most talented" singer and I think Barrett's voice compliments the Bosstone's music perfectly, the same goes with Hetfield and Ness. All three can sound gruff and have very little range, but they're perfect in their respective bands.

[acowardforyou]

Robert Plant, Thom Yorke, Jonsi, David Gilmour.

[Tai]

I'm torn between Jack White and that guy from Blood Brothers...can't for the life of me remember his name.


Don't discuss a god when speaking of mortals; Robert Plant is a moot point. Comparing others to him is like comparing flashlights to the sun.

[ArTkY_]

I looooveee Johnny Cash's voice, so his for old school. Though I don't think he has the best, he's just one of my favorites. And Freddie Mercury... and I do like Geddy Lee's voice.

My favorites for new school stuff would have to be Kristen May (Vedera), Toby Morrell (Emery), Dustin Kensrue (Thrice), and Brandon Boyd (Incubus).

[ant]

chris cornell was way better with soundgarden 'head down' really surprised me when i heard it because i didn't know he had that range, but his vocals on audioslave are so......dry.

Zack de la Rocha, Freddy Mercury. I hate Anthony Green.

[Houston4life]

Honestly one of the main reasons The Beatles became what they are and still sound timeless is b/c somehow 2 geniouses found each other. Vocally these two are far better then everything my hears has heard, mainly b/c it is two people that are amazing. Its just TOO MUCH. But fuck... goerge was awesome too

A legend like 'Freddie' Mercury deserves to have his name to be spelt correctly, by anyone. In another thread, it was 'Freedy', now it's 'Freddy'
You spell it wrong, just like you did in another thread, if you deny it, then you're a liar.

I would say Frank Sinatra, simply because he gained massive amounts of fame on his voice alone, but this thread is about rock groups so...

new:boy i gotta say Brandon Boyd of Incubus, his vocal range is tremendous. Or maybe Maynard James Keegan...

Tyson Ritter, r u fuckin serious you poser!

you, my friend, are a fucking moron.

everyone is entitled to their opinion, and to deny the FACT that Tyson is an extremely talented vocalist is just ignorant and stupid.

you really need to either grow the fuck up, or get the fuck out of here, because people aren't going to stand for your bullshit. i've not seen a single post from you that hasn't been negative and lacking the word "fuck".

first of all, learn english so perhaps you can fill your posts with words other than "fuck."

second, learn to type, you're twenty years old, are you not old enough to type out "are" and "you"?

third, just repesct people on here, or prepared to be ripped on with every post you make.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha YES. and "chyeah". i don't know why but "chyeah" bugs the crap out of me hahaha. sometimes i'll say "oh man ROFL!" but that's usually when I'm being sarcastic haha..well, always when i'm being sarcastic, i would never talk like that in real life lol

oh man...you're super. You just gave me the most ridiculous image of someone saying that...awesome.

[SlightlyStoopid]

the list is so long



david gilmour

anthony green

brandon boyd

robert plant

bradley nowell-rip

[lightcollapse]

Adam Lazarra for me.

Robert Smith.

Lead vocals on Third Eye Blind, too.

maybe not the best ever, but ted leo has a great voice

nic newsham

daryl palumbo, mike patton

Dallas Green's is pretty sound.

claudio sanchez hands down.
this past year i've really come to admire anthony kiedis's voice, too.

fuck you.
fksdlfksjd
and tom erak from the fall of troy

matt embree - best voice

rx bandits, matt embree, the sound of animals fighting

sick.


are you guys retarded?

[lightcollapse]

Daryl Palumbo.....

old school: tom scholz from boston(hugely underated)
new school:ben burnley breaking benjamin? i don't know maybe alexi laiho he's probably the best guitarist/vocalist ever.

i like the singer from motion city soundtrack's voice, and the drummer from atreyu sounds pretty cool

In my opinion, Maynard of tool, Claudio Sanchez (although some people find his voice annoying) or Russel Allen of Symphony X, which is sort of, not in this genre because it's too cool for most of you.

I think I love you.
Claudio Sanchez and Anthony Green are the best right now.
Freddie Mercury old school.

Anthony Green.

you think those guys are the best singers in rock music?

[lightcollapse]

cedric bixler-zavala for new music for me (most of the older ones have been covered) because his range is fucking huge (he's on the whistle range list online, he's incredibly talented, especially after being in the kind of band ATD-i was with screaming and shit)

[uh oh smmoreo]

NOT Robert Plant.

Olden days: Freddy Mercury, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Steve Perry
More modern: Mike Patton, Maynard James Keenan, Alicia Keys, Dustin Kensrue, Clay Aiken

[jimmythelocke]

Matt Skiba (alk3)
Spike (me first and SU)
Stephen Christian (Anberlin)

Danny Elfman (oingo boingo)

[wesgemm08]

Anthony Green is the most overrated thing ever



the guy that plays david palmer on 24 has a pretty distinct voice, great for commercials... shouldnt this thread title be best VOCALS ever


And the kid from into the moat has the best metal vocals I have ever heard live

[xglassjawx]

Daryl Palumbo, Claudio Sanchez. Yes, I like singers with high voices.

[Throwback]

Old school: Tie between Freddie Mercury and Robert Planet
New school: Reese Roper is my favorite vocalist

[OveriseFan]

Freddie Mercury = Old School

New School is tough, but in terms of this 'scene' I would say Chris Carrabba has one of the best voices, and ranges in the scene.

[panic!luver]

Brendon Urie from Panic! at the disco =D

[petey536]

Anthony Green is the most overrated thing ever


thank you, i dont know why everyone blows their load over his voice

[petey536]

Brendon Urie from Panic! at the disco =D
you have got to be kidding me

[Speddy]

Brendon Urie from Panic! at the disco =D

Why do you even bother?


There's too may amazing singer out there (both old and new) but I really like the drummer in Atreyu's voice and Daryl Palumbo, though. Not the best out there, but I really enjoy their voices.

[x togepi x]

cedric bixler-zavala for new music for me (most of the older ones have been covered) because his range is fucking huge (he's on the whistle range list online, he's incredibly talented, especially after being in the kind of band ATD-i was with screaming and shit)

[musikfreek121]

Johnny Cash

[chicametipo]

john lennon, paul mccartney, cedric bixler-zavala, daniel johns, freddy mercuy, robert plant, aretha franklin and marvin gaye.

Freddie Mercury*

[scream4me]

claudio sanchez

Absolutely, without a doubt, Freddie Mercury.

[bradyreier]

i'd say moz.

At least Brandon has a good voice. Actually, I love his voice. Daryl's voice is sub par is HA, good in Glassjaw, and Everything about Atreyu is disgusting.

[Speddy]

I like his voice, I just don't think it would be something consitered "amazing".

[scream4me]

okay you have to go way back for this dude johnny thunders

[theerisenthefal]

not sure if this was said or not...but geoff rickly from thursday is, to me, amazing.

i agree with sanchez and green as great singers. i also like the dude from thrice

[One by One]

For me, Freddie Mercury and Jeff Buckley from pre 2000s. Dallas Green from 2000 onward.

[-Dank-]

Yea Freddie Mercury hands down. Everyone knows that he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the best voice in the world. In exchange the devil gave him aids and made him gay. or so the legend goes....

[Darkhos]

in my opinion de best voice for me
bruce dickinson fron iron maiden

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Jeff Buckley, Butch Walker, Freddie Mercury, and that cat from 3 inches of blood hits some insanely high notes, so he gets a mention too

[scream4me]

fuck yeah about the 3 inches of blood i love them

[mybreakingpoint]

Aaron Marsh of Copeland is, imo, one of the most amazing vocalists i have ever heard. Best ever? Maybe not, hard to say, but probably my favorite ever.

[kissesneverdie]

Someone doesn't like gays ^^^
I agree though, Freddie does have a great voice. Also, Buddy Nielsen, Billie Joe Armstrong (Don't Deny It People) & I'd have to say the lead singer from "Minus The Bear"

[Wobbie]

While there is no "best voice ever", my favourite vocalists are probably...

[Josht]

I'd like to say Josh Groban, because he's pretty good. Elvis Costello also has good pipes. And everyone knows Freddie Mercury destroyed his voice with cigarettes.

[Wobbie]

And everyone knows Freddie Mercury destroyed his voice with cigarettes.
I don't think he ever destroyed his voice. The vocals on Innuendo, and the 3 songs that he recorded just months before his death in 1991, for Made In Heaven (The vocals on the other songs from that posthumous album, were culled from old demos) sounded just amazing as he ever has.

[liam sm1th]

jesse lacey
john nolan
daryl palumbo

[quickstarx]

I think id go with Jason Gleason...

[Ilovejimmy]

William Beckett from the academy is has a pretty decent voice, for a band of today

[mybreakingpoint]

I think id go with Jason Gleason...

really?

i could never get into his voice, and i have no idea why. i generally love voice's similar to his, but i just haven't been able to get into his. i tolerated his vocals on How To Start A Fire but all his ActionReaction stuff and solo stuff has just been kinda...'eh' to me.


FSF's vocalists: Jon Bunch > Chris Carraba > Jason Gleason, imo. thoughts?

[RomeoAGoGo]

Will Pugh - Cartel
Brandon Boyd - Incubus
Maynard James Keenan - Tool
Geoff Rickley - Thursday
Jason Gleason - ActionReaction


just a few of my favorites

[mybreakingpoint]

Will & Geoff I certainly agree with.

Tool & Incubus have never been my cup of tea, so I really have no comment on those heh

And you should respond to what I said about Jason Gleason above your last post :-D

[quickstarx]

Well I havn't heard ActionReaction so I dunno about that. I was thinkin of FSF. He's got good high and low singing and thats what I based it on...

[xTJx]

Steve Perry
Yeah I really can't argue with that. Steve Perry's got a serious set of pipes.

For "new wave" music, I'm going with Will Pugh. (I think that's how his last name is spelt) He pulls of the highs well, and while I haven't heard him do lows, I think he could do it. Now if only we could get him to change the style of music he plays...

[mybreakingpoint]

I see. I don't know. I've never really been into the overall quality of his voice.

Now Days Away's vocalist, that man has a range.

If I had to pick one "best voice ever" he might just get my vote.

Andrew McMahom also has a voice I rather enjoy heh, strange I didn't think of him earlier lol

I haven't really listened to Days Away.

Keep in mind that I'm basing my opinions on live experiences. Anyone can sound legitimate on cd (Re: HGB) but to do it live shows actual talent.

Andrew does have a good voice, but I can hit all his notes with ease.

Edit: Apparently this wasn't directed towards me. Sweet.

haha not that it wasn't directed at you, that part was in general.

the part about not likinig the quality of his voice was about Jason Gleason, not the singer you were talking about, that's what I meant lol

and i've not heard Days Away live, so I don't know. their CD is ace though. and HGB was...decent live. I don't know how I feel about Forrest's voice. Sometimes his music ruins it for me.

and yes, Andrew doesn't have an amazing range or anything, i can hit his notes too, but i like the quality of his voice a lot, much as I like Will Pugh's.

[xTJx]

You didn't comment of Steve Perry. Hahaha....Steeeeeveeee PERRY!

HGB's music ruins it for me. It's poorly executed electronica in my mind.

I'm just trying to think of who else's voice stands out for me...

[RomeoAGoGo]

Reversed order for me.

[Yakacack]

I skimmed every post for some reason and came up with my own choices:

My two favorite vocalists period are Jeff Buckley and Jason Vena...and it was odd not seeing Jason mentioned at all. I do like Dallas Green as well, there seems to be a certain sound I lean toward in vocalists

Your first two were a good call. Dallas Green live isn't that great, and he's such a prick. He won't get my vote for this haha.

[mybreakingpoint]

Reversed order for me.

really? why is that?

[RomeoAGoGo]

really? why is that?

Jason's voice is just so solid. It has a lot of power behind it. I think it's awesome.

I actually hate Chris's voice in Dashboard, but for some reason it works well in FSF.

I just never dug Jon's vocals for some reason. Too....meh? I don't even know.

he is pretty damn good. too bad his talents are wasted in such a mediocre band

[LOL yourxdead]

I may be the only one who thinks this, but I think Cove Reber's [Saosin] voice is absolutely breathtaking. Also Freddie Mercury, Serj Tankian, Adam Grontier and Layne Stanley. ENDOFSTORY.

[Dan CiTi]

Matt Wilson

[LOL yourxdead]

Aside from Mercury they aren't that great. Sinatra, Redding and Yorke own them.

Aww i like them :X
Sinatra is great though.
