Hell of a guitarist, though.

Best: Devin Townsend.
Worst: Me.

The worst singer I can think of is Macy Gray. When I first heard her, I thought, "How did she get a record deal?! Or, more importantly, how the hell did she find a band that would agree to back her?!"

Seriously the worst singer I have ever heard in my life. Sounds like some old haggard woman who smokes 5 packs of cigarettes a day and is drunk on whiskey half of the time.

I really really don't like James LeBrie's voice.

Sebastian · 02-27-2008, 12:01 PM

Best - Phil Anselmo
Worst - i cant stand the Trivium vocalist... but there are many more shitty vocalists out there...

Best: Anneke van Giersbergen! Her voice gives me the warm and fuzzies. She could sing the fucking phone book and I'd love it.

Worst: Shakira. When the Autotune is THAT obvious and you still sound like shit you should pack up and train to become a CPA.

Wow, I had forgotten about this thread.

I can't say that I agree with most of you on the best vocalists.

Mike Patton is definately one of the vocalists who boggles my mind every time I hear him.

I really dig the singer from Disturbed.

^ I may not be a Disturbed fan, but David Dramund has an AWESOME voice.

I don't care much for Disturbed's music, but he has a great voice.

I only said a worst vocalist because I have NO idea who the best vocalist would be. My favorite vocalist is probably Christian from Scar Symmetry, but I really can't say who a "best" vocalist would be. I only know that Macy Gray is the worst vocalist to ever sell a considerable amount of albums. I doubt anyone could name someone worse than her.

Best vocals:
1. Antti Hyyrynen from Stam1na.

He doesn't stick to one way of singing, he does whatever fits the song.
And playing the guitar and singing at the same time on their songs is probably one of the hardest things to do, but he does it perfectly.

2. Devin Townsend
Awesome.

3. Mattias IA Eklundh
Not the best, but he does a damn good job.

Somewhat annoying vocals:
1. Tommy Rogers from BTBAM growling on the more progressive or up-beat parts of some songs. Otherwise he's not bad at all, it's just the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Worst vocals:
1. Dani Filth
