Really? Even though I didn't care for the music, I thought his singing in Vai was much much much more talented and more professional sounding than his stuff in Strapping Young Lad and his solo stuff.

Best- Rob Halford, Layne Staley, George Fisher, Phil Anselmo (when sober), Sebastian Bach

Worst- King Diamond, Bruce Dickinson, Current Chris Barnes, Vince Neil

I know I might get shit for the first two but who cares. King Diamond sounds like someones grandmother and he constantly reminds me of what people sound like when they mock metal vocals. And Bruce Dickinson? C'mon...what's so special about him? Halford as well as a variety of others beat his ass all day long

Best: Maynard James Keenan (i dont know why, but his voice just has the most beautifully haunting quality)

Worst: Nivek Ogre (Skinny Puppy. Its not so much singing, as drugged, mutilated wailing... suits the music well enough, but its terrible lol)

gaunten · 09-15-2008, 11:19 PM

best: dev, Åkerfeldt, jens kidman, bruce dickinson BITD, some more I can't think of off the top off my head

worst: james laBrie, syncroptics singer (sounds like he gurgles himself in honey or something, really sticky growl) and whoever sings in that dreadful dragonforce band
