Mr Gore and Goreskin - Gorerotted
The blokes from Sanity's Dawn

Clean - ?? cant really say l like or listen to too much 'clean vocal stuff'
Greg Lake, John Wetton, old 60's, 70's garage, fusion, prog etc l like
alot, but modern music's pretty crap for the most part imo.
Especially vocalists. The majority of modern music l listen to is instrumental.

Eddie 'Messiah' Marcolin you goons. How he's only got one mention is a mystery.

Also Rob Halford.

Oh, I know I'll get a lot of stick for this, but I think John Tardy's vocals are excellent. Powerful and unique.

^ What he said, plus:

Doom: Bobby Liebling
Thrash: Dave Godfrey
Death: Karl Willets
Black: Abbath
NWoBHM: Old Skool Brucey Bonus

 

[Carcassian]

Oh, and Lemmy, natch.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

death - dave vincent, frank mullen, peter tatgren
clean - akerfeldt, russell allen

[cookiecutter]

Joe Wolfe

YES. The new Heinous Killings CD was insane.

 

[~Derek~]

What does everyone think of Glen Benton's vocals? I think they're very good on The Stench of Redemption.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

his vocals on the first 2 deicide albums are Fucking great

immolation's vocalist is great, too

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Oh, and Lemmy, natch.

Lemmy has to be one of the worst vocalists ever. Too much smoking for that man.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Death - easily John Tardy Of Obituary

Black - It from Abruptum

Grind - Jon Chang of Discordance Axis

Doom - whoever sings for Thergothon

 

[cookiecutter]

I've just heard Matti Way of Disgorge and I love his vocals.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Were I to name a primary influence in my vocal styles, I'd choose Chuck Schuldiner and Nocturno Culto from Darkthrone.
