Best vocal performance on an album?

[November5th]

Interesting pick! I'm curious as to why Awake over I&W? Especially given some of the stuff he pulls off (like on Learning to Live for example) on I&W.

Labrie's performance on I&W is stellar, and for me it's always a toss up. Which is his best performance, Awake or I&W? On Awake ,IMHO Labrie sang with more emotion , adding more grit and expanding more of his lower range. While at the same time sang with more power and clarity. Although I believe I&W is near perfection, the writing on Awake has a more dark tone ,which a has warranted a few more play's throughout the years.

Here are some of my favs:


Hansi Kursch (Demons and Wizards)--Demons and Wizards: His work in Blind Guardian is amazing, but I feel that he really took it to a new level on the debut album of this side project with John Schaffer (Iced Earth). It's a shame that we haven't seen anything else from this project (aside from a 2005 follow-up) because Hansi really worked with with Schaffer.

Couldn't agree more!!!

No doubt....I was thinking of including this on my list, but I didn't it want to go too long! Grimmett's singing was absolutely fantastic on Rock You To Hell....I really liked his work on the Lionsheart stuff as well.

These two are my favorite...

Daniel Gildenlöw - The Perfect Element

Mikael Åkerfeldt - Still Life
