porcupinetheater: Favorite vocalist Survey

porcupinetheater 06.03.21	Hit me with yours and I'll add 'em. Neko Case feature on the next Darkthrone plz
Pheromone 06.03.21	i thought for a second you chose yourself as your favourite vocalist and i respected it and agreed with it
ArsMoriendi 06.03.21	Uh I don't know I've been in a funky mood lately, so I'm tempted to say Garry Shider of Parliament
SteakByrnes 06.03.21	Zach Britt from Young Lions and Dream On Dreamer, that dude's voice is smooth as butter and he belts with so much force man I love it. Absolutely beautiful voice that can go from pretty falsettos to strong bellowing low notes to powerful belts to some near harsh yells at the flip of a switch
porcupinetheater 06.03.21	Am I gonna have to add myself to the database or what
Devastator 06.03.21	I feel like you can throw Bruce Dickinson or Freddie Mercury in just about any song and they would be incredible.
budgie 06.03.21	idk if i can answer this
Pheromone 06.03.21	budgie can i answer it for you
budgie 06.03.21	sir.. no.... ....
budgie 06.03.21	garm would be a good pick as someone i'd like to hear on anything, from black metal to trip hop to gothic neopop whatever, but i wouldn't say he's my favorite favorite bryan ferry is a contender, same with ozzy circa vol 4 gonna go with blair howerton from why bonnie
Pheromone 06.03.21	budgie would like to pick the lead singer of jet
childatheart 06.03.21	Roger Daltrey of The Who. All the power you could want, and he can still pull off his famous screams in his mid to late 70's. Blaze Bayley is a very close second, but Daltrey edges it.
ReturnToRock 06.03.21	1. Freddie Mercury. He can sing anything, and nobody sounds like him. 2. Louis Armstrong. He makes everything sound really warm and soothing, and nobody sounds like him. 3. Kurt Cobain. Can't beat him for sheer throat-splitting emotiveness.
Demon of the Fall 06.03.21	This is such a hard question because ignoring everything but the ‘voice’ is practically impossible. I’ll just go with Beth Gibbons or Mikael Akerfeldt. There are vocalists that occasionally stun me to a greater degree (Nina Simone anyone?) but for consistency and being perfectly fitting for the artists/songs I love, then yeah let’s go with them.
Demon of the Fall 06.03.21	…or Bjork.
Pikazilla 06.03.21	kyo
Deez 06.03.21	Yeah the obvious ones would be Patton,Gibbons, Bjork I guess. Obviously Billie Holiday/Nina/Curtis Mayfield I love. Nai pal from Hiatus Kaiyote I adore, Emma ruth rundles solo stuff...But Id probably say Patrick walker (40 watt sun/Warning) Just probably hits me more than any other vocalist. More Metal wise Tyler from Mare. No doubt.
Pikazilla 06.03.21	also, emma ruth rundle
Deez 06.03.21	I was just editting to put Emma in that paragraph haaha Played
FitToSwing 06.03.21	Keith Buckley
Divaman 06.03.21	Greg Lake
Deez 06.03.21	Great shout, Diva
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.03.21	This is off to a really bad start
protokute 06.03.21	Hmmm that's a tough one, most of my favorite vocals come from harmony singing, but I would say, without thinking too much into it, Elizabeth Fraser, what she can do with her voice, as most of us know, is amazing.
JesperL 06.03.21	yea emma ruth rundle [223]
Let 06.03.21	Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins Insane control, beautiful harmonies, great range, angelic, can make meaningless gobbledygook sound poignant, saw here live and she was absolutely perfect.
JohnnyoftheWell 06.03.21	good vocals are overrated
Divaman 06.03.21	No. They're definitely not.
budgie 06.03.21	really depends what you mean by good opera trained vocalist doesnt mean anything if the music doesnt MOVE ME
JohnnyoftheWell 06.03.21	damn i didn't expect anyone to bite that. the bar is low today
rockarollacola 06.03.21	Jon Oliva from Savatage
ArsMoriendi 06.03.21	Johnny, don't make me bite YOU
Divaman 06.03.21	Your taste is so ... unique ... I actually thought you might have been serious.
Jethro42 06.03.21	Any Peter Gabriel?
ArsMoriendi 06.03.21	Johnny's taste isn't unique, it's just weebish (I think I mean that with love?)
budgie 06.03.21	oooooooooh burnnnnnnnn
JohnnyoftheWell 06.03.21	ars stop spamming i am reporting you for that gross content i wish your taste was less unique and less like a ratty kid bodyhugging a dogeared copy of grandpa's first acid trip memoirs and idk this question is weird. with most vocalists idgaf about how good a singer they are or whatever, i just care how well they work with their Sound. which is usually more specific to their band than it is to them. ig Allison Goldfrapp, Kazu from Blonde Redhead and Sakurai from Buck-Tick have versatile styles that sound good with just about anything [that they do] but are they my favourite vocalists?? eh. EH. pick one or do melt-banana idk
ArsMoriendi 06.03.21	I like Goldfrapp, Blonde Redhead and Melt-Banana, does that make them ratty kid acid trip core? :o
protokute 06.03.21	the better question would be who's got the most "unique, singular, peculiar" vocal style
Dewinged 06.03.21	Gotta be Bjork. Picture this, Bjork with... Neurosis.
ArsMoriendi 06.03.21	"the better question would be who's got the most "unique, singular, peculiar" vocal style" IDK that chick from the trip hop group Olive? Her voice makes my skin crawl. EDIT: Wait NO it wasn't Olive, it was a diff trip hop group, her voice is fine, omg which was it? This is gonna kill me
Uzumaki 06.03.21	Kyo from Dir En Grey. He can nail cleans, uncleans - you name it; he’s got a massive vocal range.
JohnnyoftheWell 06.03.21	"I like Goldfrapp, Blonde Redhead and Melt-Banana, does that make them ratty kid acid trip core? :o" it makes them unkindled or some shit, not og acidsoul gang but definitely in the lineage "the better question would be who's got the most "unique, singular, peculiar" vocal style" this question never ends well "Gotta be Bjork." she is one of many many many vocalists with a unique singular peculiar vocal style which fans will never stop overstating for its uniqueness singularity and peculiarity yeah very quirky
Divaman 06.03.21	Yeah, like I was saying, Greg Lake. And also Candice Night.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.03.21	Maybe if you'd stop overstating the significance of shit artists like Seiko Oomori people would calm down about Bork I dunno just a theory not sure if it holds up
Pheromone 06.03.21	beff juckley
budgie 06.03.21	beef jerky
DavidYowi 06.03.21	To give a nod to the new Seputus record coming out, my pick is Doug Moore from Pyrrhon. Abscess Time has one of the most expressive metal vocal performances I've heard. "State of Nature" in particular is this blacked out soliloquy that sounds devastatingly unhinged
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	seiko oomori has a judge spot on an influential talent show, runs her own idol group, is literally releasing an album of reworked tracks she wrote for other successful artists next month, and one of my 12 y/os stans her so i'm not sure significance was the word you were stretching them paws for but i'm happy enough to see that your spleen was successfully reconnected to the rest of your metabolism and that you're back with us in the land of the living [dead] to let it go
Pheromone 06.04.21	johnny check 125 also happy birthday
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.04.21	And yet she doesn't even have a bafta
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	no bafta? i will start a crowdfund and you will be the only person who regrets it more than me happy birthday phero
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.04.21	Well when she has a bafta ill concede so there's your motivator
Jasdevi087 06.04.21	Wesley Willis
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	ok phero can i borrow your bafta
SteakByrnes 06.04.21	bafta deez nuts lmao
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.04.21	Better yet if she sings a duet with the weeknd during the intermezzio of a sport contest I'll admit she's better than the deftones
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	can't that route be bypassed if she starts selling wanked in tshirts 2nd hand?
nol 06.04.21	B R U N O M A- nat king cole
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.04.21	Wanked in by whom?
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	you are the buyer you get to choose
nol 06.04.21	nat king colton
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	play the new sweet trip on full blast, wave your seiko oomori store-purchased shirt in front of your speakers a few times, and the chances are it'll contain latent traces of colton wank if coronavirus has taught us anything it's that airborne shit goes a long way
nol 06.04.21	man I really thought that was gonna bait pots, not johnny
EoinCofa 06.04.21	I like it when I open a list and see an entry I didn’t expect. Although, she has an amazing voice, I did not expect to see Neko. Frances Quinlan, Johnette Napolitano (in her prime), Jeff Buckley, 70”s/80’s Rob Halford
cordwainerbird 06.04.21	ALAN VEGA i am obsessed. as a vocalist myself he is an infinite inspiration to me. i adore how he channels his darkness into an absurdist nightmare that spits americas ugly face right back at itself. his yelps and screams are chilling to the bone. one of the most underrated vocalists in both rock n punk. deserves to be in rock hall of fame imo
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	i am open to bait please make your requests
aydross121 06.04.21	anneke van giersbergen
nol 06.04.21	play the new sweet trip on full blast, wave your seiko oomori store-purchased shirt in front of your speakers a few times, and the chances are it'll contain latent traces of colton wank if coronavirus has taught us anything it's that airborne shit goes a long way
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	budgie that comment was toxic and slanderous i'm sorry you left me no choice but to delete it
budgie 06.04.21	b-but
JohnnyoftheWell 06.04.21	no buts show yourself out please
Slex 06.04.21	In terms of pure talent, Mercury is peerless for me Anyways don't mind me, fight fight fight
anat 06.04.21	aidan moffat
Avagantamos 06.04.21	I really like Valerie Reyes' voice, but for someone I'd like to hear on just about anything, it would probably be Del tha Funkee Homosapien
cordwainerbird 06.05.21	mercury is a good choice. what a man
cordwainerbird 06.05.21	del is an odd choice but also a good one. one of the nicest voices in hip hop
protokute 06.05.21	graham nash hummmmmmmm
Jethro42 07.14.21	wrong thread
veninblazer 07.14.21	spencer sotelo and anyone that sounds like him
