best rock\metal vocalist ever?

[SpookyFrank]

Or Frank Black. or PJ Harvey...

Corrected

But yes, Frank Black is the mutt's nuts. And alongside Iggy he's one of the few names on this thread I've heard sing live, and PJ Harvey too come to think of it. Frank Black singing live is a force of nature, when he screamed 'repent!' during Caribou it was hard not to feel like he was actually heralding the real apocalypse.

Phil Collins

I wasn't around in 1284 and so I'm unable to comment.

 

[sojourner]

And how the fuck did this thread make it this far without anyone mentioning the name Iggy Pop?

For shame

cos i, for one, don't consider him a rock/metal vocalist

garage, yeh

 

[sojourner]

..and I like Ian Hunter too.

good, but not great

 

[Nanker Phelge]

good, but not great

Nah, you're right, but I felt he deserved a mention as Mott often get forgotten and I'm a big fan.

Indeed, there was the The Kingdom of Germany imposing a trade embargo on Norway, and Rod was prancing about England in leapord print pants singing about some Maggie woman.

Yeah, any band who can come up with a line like "And then we went to Croydon" deserves a mensh on here

Just kidding, I love "All the young dudes." Really takes me back.

 

[5t3IIa]

No Mike Patton? Are you all mad?

 

[sojourner]

[5t3IIa]

There is a Faith No More Q in every single one. Ask Nanker.

 

[Meltingpot]

All very good choices

Rob Halford stole his look from me, you know

Are you "hell bent for leather" then?

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

Count Grishnach from Burzum

 

[Pie 1]

True. Shame on us getting carried away with the metal !

 

[spawnofsatan]

Dani Filth

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Sir Philip Lynott.
Convict #431674 Ronald Belford Scott. AKA "Bon"
Graham Bonnet
Baron Lemwold of Kilminster

Mr QofG's would like me to say "At last!" to this choice as he has been spluttering because there seemed to be no mention of Mr. Bonnet

 

[stavros]

Iggy anyone?

 

[killer b]

jello.

 

[Greenfish]

Bob Dylan.

I always liked Jim Morrison's voice towards the end when it had been toned by Marlboros and Scotch. 'Roadhouse Blues', 'L.A. Woman', stuff like that. Really raw sounding.
