    Inspired by the best guitar solo, who in your opinions are the best singers out there? it doesn't matter if they are Punk, Metal, Classic, main vocal, back up or whatever else you want.

    With the few real singers I've ever listened to in recent (past 2-3 years) times I'd have to say Scott Stapp from Creed "with arms wide open" and Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, his song "My December" in particular was great.
    But I will probably change my mind as soon as I listen to other singers later on

    Gotta be Johan Antilla from the band 'Radioaktiva Räker.' Guess you never heard of him, right? Well, he did a short solo career as well.

    No I have not.

    Also Lars(?) from Metallica seems to be a very good singer or was in "The unforgiven" at least. I like Metallica in general but some of it's a but too angsty, and dark/depressing for me, but "The unforgiven" didn't sound like it was aimed solely at my age group (17)

    Or maybe I've just misinterpreted the meaning *shrugs*

    This is likely biased, and according only to my tastes as of right now.

    Female: Kaisa Jouhki (Battlelore).

    Male: Marco Hietala (Tarot).

    Right now, I think the best voice would be Norah Jones...
    And for the guys', I like John Linnell :heh:

    @Casey - The reason you have not is because it is a swedish band that sings swedish songs only. Heh, the only one I know on this board that know who the 'Radioaktiva Räker' is is RooK.

    [​IMG] Björk.
    For such a frail person she has a great and powerful voice which can take you on a journey - if you let it happen. Saw her live here and there. Almost peed in my pants with joy and awe. Special creature she is. :rolling:

    I really can’t stand her music or her voice, I don’t know what it is but Bjorks stuff has to be the worst music I have ever heard in my life, but that’s just me.

    Love her or hate her.
    For most people there is nothing in between those two choices with Björk. I can understand that, but I surely adore her. She is the ****ing goddess.

    I have to agree with Mesmero, Freddie Mercury reigns supreme.

    Currently I'd pick Dan Swano (Edge of Sanity) and Mike Akerfeldt (Opeth). You'll get the full range from these two, clean, to screeching black and brutal death. Thom Yorke (Radiohead) and Maynard James Keenan (Tool) would have to be up there as well.

    Female: Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil).

    Sharon den Adell from Within Temptation (though I would like to listen to some more of After Forever and Nightwish's stuff).

    I've become rather fixated on female vocals lately.

    How come 90% of the singers here are ones I've never even heard of? Either I've got to get out more or...


    Well, I probably just need to get out more. :(

    :) I've not heard of 90% of them either.

    Ian Watkins of Lostprophets has a very distinctive voice.
    Matt Bellamy of Muse (who I go on about often as my role model) has a fantastic singing voice.
