Favorite and Least Favorite Vocalists?

[Blue_Jay]

Thread title says what the theme of this thread is about. Some of my favorite vocalists include Warrel Dane(Nevermore)because nobody in metal has the vocals he has, Tony Kakko(Sonata Arctica)cause of how powerful his vocals are, John Tardy (Obituary) just cause, VRDRBR(or Nachtraaf from Urfaust)because of how COOL they sound like he sounds like a demon possessed clown and I freakin love it, and Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth) because he sounds like a true viking!!

Least favorites are Meshuggah's, Metallica's, Cephalic Carnage's, Darkthrone's, and Black Sabbath's vocals.

What about y'all's...

How in the hell do you not like Darkthrone's, and Black Sabbath's vocals? Nocturno Culto's vocals on Transilvanian Hunger have been my favorite as of late. I enjoy Orlok quite a bit too. As for non-black metal vocals the dudes from Valkyrie have a pretty cool sound goin.

Ozzy's vocals and the band's guitar style is the reason why I don't like Black Sabbath, sounds kinda hair metalish and I don't like that.

Darkthrone I like their vocals just not as much as other bands so I placed them on the list for some reason the vocalist makes me have to be in a certain mood to listen to Darkthrone.

I forgot to add two other vocalists, Chuck from Death and Pasi from Amorphis. I'll keep on adding others the more I remember.

Edit: I'm also not a big fan of Suffocation's and Nile's vocals.

You've got to be joking. Have you even listened to Black Sabbath?

I love indie music.

I love indie music.

Ohh, trust me, I like my fair share as well, but that poppy, often-times whiny voice makes me want to bash my head into a wall.

Maybe it's just that I haven't adjusted to them yet (similar to what a lot of people go through when getting into DM and BM), but who knows.

 

[Zephyrus]

ICS Vortex (Borknagar, Arcturus, Dimmu Borgir, Lamented Souls)

Attila (Aborym and Mayhem)

Daemon (Limbonic Art, Zyklon's first album)

Vocalists from Kataxu, Pentagram and Urfaust.

I'm not picky about vocalists, so I don't play favorites much nor do I single out my least favorites. If the vocals are intolerable, I simply won't listen to it.

>>>>How in the hell do you not like Darkthrone's, and Black Sabbath's vocals?


I freaking HATE Ozzy Osbourne's vocals too. I don't care what kind of legacy he has in metal...his vocals drive me crazy. Whiny like no tomorrow!

Favorites:

Tarja of Nightwish
Max of Soulfly/Sepultura
Chuck of Testament
Mustaine and Hetfield
Billy Milano

 

[Zephyrus]

Ozzy's vocals on the first album sounded rather bad, but from Paranoid onwards I think they sound alright.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Ozzy's vocals aren't whiny - they're ghoulish!

 

[SheisMySin]

>>>Ozzy's vocals aren't whiny - they're ghoulish!

His vocals fit some songs...I love them on No More Tears.

But Ironman...war pigs...etc...just grates on my eardrums.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

favorite. Daniel Heiman on the two Lost Horizon cds.

 

[Blue_Jay]

You've got to be joking. Have you even listened to Black Sabbath?

srsly. Sabbath ozzy is awesome. And how the fuck could you hate Darkthrone's?

Anyway, my favorites would be Darkthrone, Opeth, and Lost Horizon.

Least favorites are, oh I dont fucking know, probably Funeral Rape's and any melodeath band with a female vocalist (i.e. Arch Enemy, Light This City, etc.)
