Who is the best VOCALIST???

[JesusChristPose]

Without a single solitary doubt, the best vocalist is Chris Cornell. If you disagree, I suggest you listen to his solo Euphoria Morning, the man has range, power, precision, beauty, etc, etc, etc.

 

[Opet]

Mikael "Metal God" Åkerfeldt
Bruce Dickerson
Jonas Renkse
Peter Steele
James Maynard
I had a thing for both Ray Alder and David Wayne both at the same a while back.

 

[KIRILL]

Daniel Gildenlöw ... no doubt about it...or wait maybe Mike Patton? gahhh i don´t know......

Unsurprisingly, no mention of Simen Hestnaes, the most underrated singer ever....Not to mention the best!

Based on his own career choices, he doesn't consider his vocals all that impressive/important... so maybe it is best if we all forgot him lest we become depressed about it...

 

[Liquid Tension]

Daniel Gildenlöw gets my vote all the way....

 

[JesusChristPose]

Daniel Gildenlow is a close second to Chris Cornell, imo.

 

[transfixed]

Mikael
Jonas R.
Garm
Vintersorg
Devin T.
Simen

...

 

[Zpeed]

Mikael Åkerfeldt
Warrel Dane
Matthew Barlow
Dan Swano

 

[Don Corleone]

AKERFELDT FOREVER

 

[Misanthrope]

Vintersorg closely followed by Stanne

Misanthrope ( who speaks of vocalist and not growlers here )

 

[Salamurhaaja]

Picking one would be hard, but I think I would go with Taneli Jarva. top 5 would also include Vintersorg, Stanne, Åkerfeldt and Rehn. I might be forgetting someone, but I have no music on, so my brain is freezing

You have a point. But I just happen to think credit is due where credit is due.

Anyway, isn't lamented souls still a go? I'll be damned if he doesn't do the most chilling vocals I've ever heard on the tune Var.

 

[svenske kocken]

BRUCE DICKINSON of course. Second is Rob Halford.

 

[Schraiber]

Mikael Åkerfeldt
Dan Swanö
Kurt Cobain
Greg Gaffin... or is it Bret Gerwitz? I never remember >.<
Jello Biafra
Bruce Dickenson
The Ozz Man

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

In this order:

Yaroslav of Divina Enema
Mikael Åkerfeldt
Vintersorg

This is just my opinion, the "best" is undefinable

 

[Sullen Jester]

Garm, from Arcturus and Ulver.
Lawrence Mackrory from Andromeda, Darkane and Forcefeed.

 

[Jesper_X_]

devin townsend is the best vocalist in music. He and Mikael are both surpurb, as is Vintersorg.

 

[City_of_da_Moon]

Mikael Akerfeldt
Matt Barlow
Hansi Kursch
Bruce Dickinson
That fella that sings on the new borknagar album ( i think its that vintersorg guy)

 

[Ermz]

Chris Hall. The vocals aren't precise and the lyrics aren't exactly the most cryptic shit you'd ever hear, but his vocals come from the heart, and what better place to start?

 

[Stinkfist]

Some i forgot:

Maynard James Keenan
Vintersorg
Bruce Dickinson
Dead
