[YDload]

Okay here are the names of all the singers/vocalists who made the cut:

Jack Bruce
Bruce Dickinson
Roger Daltrey
Axl Rose
Garm
Matt Bellamy
Mikael Akerfeldt
Rob Halford
Paul McCartney
David Bowie
Anthony Kiedis
Maynard James Keenan
Serj Tankian
Phil Anselmo

Eddie Vedder
Dave Mustaine

Jeff Buckley
Matt Barlow
Trent Reznor
Freddie Mercury
Zach De La Rocha
John Lennon
Ozzy Osbourne
Chuck Schuldiner

Now the hardest part will be putting them into polls that don't have too many similar vocalists in them. Aaah! Okay discuss who should have made the cut, who didn't, or whatever you want...




(how the hell did Matt Bellamy beat Steven Tyler by one vote?! That sucks, Tyler is GOOD :mad: )

[Jom]

Nice work once again, YD. Why Serj is in the Top 50 vocalists is beyond me, but hey, those damn voters, heh.

Lots of deserving vocalists, though, no lie.

[PepsiMetal]

Joacim Cans should have been in the polls since the start. He has better singing voice than probably 50% of vocals that did get in. :(

Serj is a great vocalist. It's not a suprise at all he is in top 50.

[YDload]

Okay well I divided them up into five groups of ten, but it wasn't easy and still isn't perfect. I just can't separate all the people who have similar vocal styles if there are more than five of them! Every poll is going to be met with posts of "HOW DARE YOU PUT _____ AND _____ IN THE SAME POLL YOU MONSTER HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DECIDE??!"

Fags.

[PinkFreud]

how dare you put chris cornell in with jeff buckley!?

in advance.

[Permanent Solution]

how dare you put chris cornell in with jeff buckley!?

in advance.
Yeah man, putting 2 sub-par singers in the same poll makes it so much easier, jeez... (:p)

[Morningrise]

It's a bummer Hansai didn't make the cut. Oh well, Sir Bruce for the win.

[heavy metal kid]

No Danzig makes me bad.

At least Staley made it.

[YDload]

how dare you put chris cornell in with jeff buckley!?

in advance.

Never :)

Cornell is in the same poll as David Bowie though, does that irk you? Because I don't care as long as they're from different eras :):)

[CantBuyAThrill]

For a while, I didn't see George Harrison on there, and I was thinking "Aw, crap."

I disagree with some things, like Bon Scott but no Neil Young (curse democracy.) A good, fairly well-rounded top 50 over all, IMO.

Well done so far on this, YDload.

[heavy metal kid]

You could put Hetfield and Mustaine in the same poll, that would be interesting.

[ThrashMaster27]

You could put Hetfield and Mustaine in the same poll, that would be interesting.

I was going to suggest that. It'd be good for a laugh.

Don't put Rob Halford and King Diamond in the same poll. I will love you greatly if you don't.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Poor Vintersorg didn't make it to the second round, along with Vortex. :(

Bah.

GARM ALL THE WAY!

[Danger Bird]

Axl Rose
What. The. ****.

[PepsiMetal]

What. The. ****.

What?

Axl is a pretty good singer. This is a vocal ability poll not personality or behavior poll. So yea, he may be jackarse, but he's a good singer.

[YDload]

Right, it's a vocal ability poll. A wounded Robert Plant should not be represented.

[lost_profits]

Joacim Cans should have been in the polls since the start. He has better singing voice than probably 50% of vocals that did get in. :(

Serj is a great vocalist. It's not a suprise at all he is in top 50.

What has Serj done for music that should put him ahead of Devin Townsend?

It's a crying shame.

[Scooch]

Roger Waters??? I'm going to watch the Wall right now because of you people!

[Neamhtrocaireach]

No Corey?

[Prince of Darkness]

I see Mike Patton winning, Mikael Akerfeldt second and MJK third.

[Stormrider]

Its an okay top 50. Theres a lot of good vocalsits in there. Except it beats me how Hansi Kursch didnt get trough.

[lionelhutz88]

At least Dio made it. I'm pulling hard for the little guy.

[King_Of_Terrors]

I never really followed the whole Top Vocalists thing, but I'm glad ZP Theart made it. When did Tarja get booted off?

[Toaster]

Devin Townsend didn't make it??? :angry: When Phil Anselmo makes the cut over Devy, it's a sad day in music history.

[Maggot Dream]

List looks decent. I'm not excited about the next polls though, there will undoubtedly be some tough chioces.

[lionelhutz88]

Devin Townsend didn't make it??? :angry: When Phil Anselmo makes the cut over Devy, it's a sad day in music history.

as far as angry badass hoosiers go, Anselmo is the cream of the crop. I love him, but I know lots of people hate him.

[Steerpike]

No Corey?

If Corey Taylor made it through without Hansi Kursch, I would have to let the stabbin's commence.

[Stormrider]

If Corey Taylor made it through without Hansi Kursch, I would have to let the stabbin's commence.

Haha...In the last poll thread, you said Barlow can croon...what does that mean ?

[crag]

Yeah, Bruce Dickinson and ZP Thearth got through, to bad Paul Di'Anno didn't :(

[Jonney Blazes V1]

I don't know how Clapton made it buy meh..It's a good list..I hope Robert Plant or Freddy win's it..No Mick Jagger or Steven Tyle rthough..Such a shame..

[lionelhutz88]

all right! I just noticed Chuck Schuldiner got through.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

What?

Axl is a pretty good singer. This is a vocal ability poll not personality or behavior poll. So yea, he may be jackarse, but he's a good singer.

No...that's up for debate too. Some people, like me, cannot stand his voice.

[Steerpike]

Haha...In the last poll thread, you said Barlow can croon...what does that mean ?

Listen to the gloomy intro of The Dragon's Child. Crooning is a soft, mumbling vocal style made popular by mid-20th century jazz vocalists (i.e. Old Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra).

[Stormrider]

Listen to the gloomy intro of The Dragon's Child. Crooning is a soft, mumbling vocal style made popular by mid-20th century jazz vocalists (i.e. Old Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra).

Oh okay. Thanks...Im glad he made it through..

[Happy]

I'll be voting for LaBrie, Mustaine, Dickinson and Theart :)

[Tommi Hendrix]

Okay here are the names of all the singers/vocalists who made the cut:


Axl Rose

David Bowie

Layne Staley

Mike Patton

Jim Morrison

Freddie Mercury

John Lennon







Couldn´t have beene better than this:chug:

[TheDMV]

Roger Waters??? I'm going to watch the Wall right now because of you people!

Good thoughts. He beat too many much better singers.

[Kronos]

Yeah, Bruce Dickinson and ZP Thearth got through, to bad Paul Di'Anno didn't :(
That's because he's crap.


All the usual suspects made it tho'.


The only thing I'm miffed about is no Tarja. Or, for that matter, any females at all.

What a mysoginstic forum

[DekWannaBFlea]

How can you people complain about Serj being in the top 50, when there are so many worse singers in this poll (Hetfield)?

[raz0r]

How can you people complain about Serj being in the top 50, when there are so many worse singers in this poll (Hetfield)?

Because he's not actually a bad singer?

[DekWannaBFlea]

Because he's not actually a bad singer?


Actually he is aweul, his voice sounds horrible in Kill em all and St. Anger.


But whatever, to each his own. To me it seems that so many singers didn't make the cut (like Myles Kennedy) but mediocre singers from good bands made it.

[PepsiMetal]

I think Maynard, Bon Scott, Eric Clapton, James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, Bob Dylan, and Ozzy Osbourne are all worse than Serj. All of these guys are average and are known basically because they're in great bands. Well except dylan and clapton, who one is a great guitarist and other a great lyricist, but both are average vocally.

I agree with the guy above, myles kennedy is a great singer. Myles didn't even get into top 100. :upset:

[Lord Abortion]

You could put Hetfield and Mustaine in the same poll, that would be interesting.
Well, all the Metallica Fanboys would vote for Hetfield, and anyone who can tell a great vocalsit from a bad one would vote Dave.

No Dani or Hansi :(

Anyone who has seen Cradle live knows how good Dani is.

Couldn´t have beene better than this
Wow, all those vocalists bar Bowie and Possibly Freddie Mercury suck.
Well done.

[Jacaranda]

No Micky, I'll just have to pull for Bowie.

[Broken Arrow]

Too bad Neil didn't make it. :(

[Josh]

Bruce Dickinson
Axl Rose
Matt Bellamy
Rob Halford
Paul McCartney
David Bowie
Ian Gillian
King Diamond
James LaBrie
George Harrison
Russell Allen
David Gilmour
Geddy Lee
Eric Clapton
James Hetfield
Roger Waters
ZP Theart
Ronnie James Dio
Dave Mustaine
Bob Dylan
Matt Barlow
Freddie Mercury
John Lennon
Ozzy Osbourne

at least this lot went through. and although beforehand i thought Hetfield was just an allright singer, now i've heard Live Shít: Binge and Purge my opinion of him has gone up a lot.

[Shadows]

King Diamond makes me laugh.

I'm glad Warrel Dane made it, but I'm a little disappointed Vortex is out.

[raz0r]

Actually he is aweul, his voice sounds horrible in Kill em all and St. Anger.

Yeah, on those 2 albums though.
his voice on Metallica, Load and Reload were much better though.

[EDIT:]Forgot about S&M, most notably on No Leaf Clover

[PinkFreud]

Yeah man, putting 2 sub-par singers in the same poll makes it so much easier, jeez... (:p)
i gon' cut you so bad you gon' wish i dont cut you so bad.

i dont mind if cornell's in with bowie, it just means im going to vote for cornell some more. he's clearly better than bowie in everything but influence anyway and possibly uniqueness. at least my top 3 got through.

let's go buckley, cornell, and patton!

[tehbuttesecks]

don't judge hetfield's voice until you've seen "live sh*t binge and purge - seattle"

[heavy metal kid]

Well, all the Metallica Fanboys would vote for Hetfield, and anyone who can tell a great vocalsit from a bad one would vote Dave.


Actually i think the vocals are one of the few things that Metallica beats Megadeth.
Both got many votes in the past round, including mine, my idea is to get rid at least of one.

I wouldn't vote for they, 2 round is enough for both.

[Steerpike]

don't judge hetfield's voice until you've seen "live sh*t binge and purge - seattle"

I don't see how Hetfield could polish his voice enough to possibly compete with the likes Hansi Kursch, Freddie Mercury, Ripper, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Lee Dorrian, Nils Patrick Johansson, Chuck Schuldiner, ICS Vortex, Geoff Tate, and Matt Barlow.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Nice work once again, YD. Why Serj is in the Top 50 vocalists is beyond me, but hey, those damn voters, heh.
I like Serj's voice. He screams random, unconnected words and phrases better than anyone, barring Jim Morrison.

No...that's up for debate too. Some people, like me, cannot stand his voice.
Same goes for the other 49.

[Kage]

Terrible list, but oh well.

It's SteVen Wilson, by the way. URGH

[heavy metal kid]

I don't see how Hetfield could polish his voice enough to possibly compete with the likes Hansi Kursch, Freddie Mercury, Ripper, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Lee Dorrian, Nils Patrick Johansson, Chuck Schuldiner, ICS Vortex, Geoff Tate, and Matt Barlow.

agreed.

But most of the singers on the list are people with high range, none the less;Halford, Diamond, Dickinson and many could not compete with vocals as Mercury, Cornell(when he was good).

[nowitzki]

Aw, I can't believe my opinions of the best vocalists aren't exactly the same as everyone else who uses this forum, why did ______ get through, and ______ didn't??? :upset:

[Steerpike]

Aw, I can't believe my opinions of the best vocalists aren't exactly the same as everyone else who uses this forum, why did ______ get through, and ______ didn't??? :upset:

Perhaps then you can explain to me how when we look at pure ability, Eric Clapton is the superior vocalist in comparison to Tarja Turunen. Because apparently that's the logic a lot of people here were using.

[Lord Abortion]

;Halford, Diamond, Dickinson and many could not compete with vocals as Mercury, Cornell(when he was good).
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

You seriously must be taking the piss.

[PinkFreud]

hey man. he's not far off with cornell.

ps: there is no way that de la rocha should be on this list. he's not good at anything.

[heavy metal kid]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

You seriously must be taking the piss.

Well maybe i exagerated with Dickinson, but Halford and Diamond aren't so great, Diamond is only a falsetto whore, and i'm a MF/KD fanboy.

You know, metal doesn't have the best singers.

[Lord Abortion]

ps: there is no way that de la rocha should be on this list. he's not good at anything.
Good man, we agree on this, at least.

I really can't see what the big deal about Chris Cornell is, Never heard anything from worth writing home about.

Meh, I just don't like his type of music, same with Patton, I suspect.

[Steerpike]

Well maybe i exagerated with Dickinson, but Halford and Diamond aren't so great, Diamond is only a falsetto whore, and i'm a MF/KD fanboy.

You know, metal doesn't have the best singers.

Edu Falaschi of Angra. That alone proves you wrong. Another awesome vocalist who should have been on that poll.

[PinkFreud]

finally someone who agrees about de la rocha.

cornell and patton both have great ranges and power. patton's extremely versatile hand has outstanding control. it's all a moot point if you dont like their music though. i suppose its all based on subjective points anyway.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

hey man. he's not far off with cornell.

ps: there is no way that de la rocha should be on this list. he's not good at anything.

It's those darn people who disagree with you that create a way for him to be on the list.

[heavy metal kid]

Edu Falaschi of Angra. That alone proves you wrong. Another awesome vocalist who should have been on that poll.

That's a great metal singer who didn't made the polls.That doesn't prove me wrong, it proves the lack of knowledge in the mayor part of this forums(including me), with all the respect.
I said metal doesn't have the best singers, i didn't say rock has the best singers.

Opera=voice gods.

Exactly, If you don't like the music or the way the vocalist uses their voice, then you won't like them, simple as that.

Opera=voice gods.

I thought you were making a cynical comment on the genre in general.

And I wouldn't say opera singers are universally the greatest. They do have the most rigorous and demanding training course, though. So opera singers are arguably the most dedicated to their careers as professional singers.

[Krabsworth]

Okay good Bob Dylan made it I wont flame now

[rhcp pman]

Nice work once again, YD. Why Serj is in the Top 50 vocalists is beyond me, but hey, those damn voters, heh.

Lots of deserving vocalists, though, no lie.
What has Serj done for music that should put him ahead of Devin Townsend?

It's a crying shame.


Enough bitching about Serj Tankian. He's a great vocalist and definitely deserves to be up here. Some people just feel insecure because he's in a nu-metal band.

Ah, but what about Bruce Dickinson, a metal singer who used to be in opera. Now I'm not sure on that fact, but I'm sure someone can confirm that.

Oh, and Tarja Tuurinen.

[raz0r]

Didn't James LaBrie train under an Opera singer?

[Lord Abortion]

Didn't James LaBrie train under an Opera singer?
Indeed he did.
It shows, really, that's why he's so incredible.
Well, one of many reasons.

[panthersfan16]

HAHA good one YD, now seriously, put Corey Taylor back on there... seriously, jokes over we all laughed, soooooooo lets get him back up there.

I mean come on, how could De La Rocha be on there and Taylor not. Yeah, nice try, now lets hurry up and get him back on there, cmon now.

[Shadows]

WTF isn't Dani Filth on this list!? :mad: :p

[Lord Abortion]

WTF isn't Dani Filth on this list!? :mad: :p
He got knocked out in the first round...:angry:

[repcak]

Axl Rose together with Anthony Kiedis
Ian Gillian together with robert plant
David Gilmour together with Jim Morrison and Roger Waters
Zach De La Rocha and Chuck Schuldiner
Mikael Akerfeldt and Thom Yorke

[YDload]

HAHA good one YD, now seriously, put Corey Taylor back on there... seriously, jokes over we all laughed, soooooooo lets get him back up there.

I mean come on, how could De La Rocha be on there and Taylor not. Yeah, nice try, now lets hurry up and get him back on there, cmon now.

Corey Taylor sucks, and I'm incredibly relieved that the army of Maggots could not be bothered to vote for him en masse. Also, I'm not sure why you're comparing him to De La Rocha, who is at the very least a superior rapper to Taylor. I might not be absolutely thrilled with Zack De La Rocha making the cut, but I would take him over Corey Taylor any day.

[Syncratic]

I would've liked to see Greg Puciato or Jens Kidman there, but it's all good.

[lost_profits]

Devin Townsend didn't make it??? :angry: When Phil Anselmo makes the cut over Devy, it's a sad day in music history.

I actually predicted Townsend to be top 20 material.
Another man who's a top vocalist, Daniel Gildenlow didn't even make it to the polls!
Yet half arses like Tankian and Axl Rose get the nod.

[Moses]

Russell Allen made it!!!

[lost_profits]

Enough bitching about Serj Tankian. He's a great vocalist and definitely deserves to be up here. Some people just feel insecure because he's in a nu-metal band.

He's been around for what 6 years? Done what for music?
Both men (Serj and Devin) border on crazy. Tankian is nu-metal's answer to Townsend, yet Devin's been doing it for years and years.

[Futuro]

Indeed he did.
It shows, really, that's why he's so incredible.
Well, one of many reasons.
I agreee talent wise, But Sometimes he will get on my nerves because he is SO loud!

Pretty good list we have got here :chug:

[PepsiMetal]

He's been around for what 6 years? Done what for music?

It's a vocal ability poll, not really an influential poll.

[asholle]

too many muse fanboys
bellamy sucks imo

[ThatBunnKid]

Not even 1 female....hmmm

[asholle]

Not even 1 female....hmmm
after all, this is the internets

[rhcp pman]

What makes you think someone has to have done something for them to be talented? This poll isn't based on influence.

I noticed you voted for Tarja Turineen in one of the polls. She's a great vocalist (I think I voted for her), but what exactly has she done for music? Trained as an opera singer, sang in a metal band and got kicked out because she's an egotistical money whore? Money whores belong in pop and shouldn't disgrace metal.

Right then - get out Bruce Dickinson - you're too popular and make too much money!

Stop trying to hide Mr Halford, I can see you! You as well - out of this poll!

Same goes for all of you lot who've had a hit record - bugger off!

Right then, who've we got now?

Hello?

HELLO!?

/footsteps echo around empty thread....

:p

Edit - Tarja should be here for deffo. Great voice and she helped to establish a new type of acceptable singing style for metal. That's good enough reason for her to be here, but she isn't, and that sucks.
There need to be more girls on here.

[AlkoholikMouse]

It's a shame Keidis wont do very well. He's a fantastic singer, but doesn't get the respect he deserves.

[rhcp pman]

No, you've misunderstood. I'm not saying she shouldn't be here (I voted for her). The point is that the other guy is basing this poll entirely on influence/accomplishment and what the musician has done for music, yet he voted for Tarja. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with rich musicians. But if you have a look at http://www.nightwish.com/english/lettertotarjaen.html, it shows that she has the skills of an opera/metal vocalist, but the demands of a MTV pop musician. She cares more about money/everything else than music. That is not very respectable for a musician.
It's a shame Keidis wont do very well. He's a fantastic singer, but doesn't get the respect he deserves.
Indeed it's a shame. Most people here mentally overload when a technically untalented singer is respected. Kiedis isn't very technical, but plainly, he sounds good. He has a great voice.

[Kronos]

I'm fully aware of her apparent diva behaviour (most folk here will know me as an ardent NW fan) and if it's all true it diminishes her in my eyes too, but the fact remains that her accomplishments in her time with NW were laudable, and the influence her vocal style has had in the metal world is considerable - who sang in that style before 1997? And how many bands has NW and Tarja inspired since then?
Money grabbing diva and easlily influenced by certain people she may be, but her talent and influence remain worthy of recognition.

Yeah, I guess: her influence>her pop mentality, so I guess it wasn't that ironic that 'lost profits' voted for her.

[Kronos]

Especially now that she's hit the self-destruct button on her career - I don't see her influence going any further now, not with her solo material...

Tarja - bright star to falling star in a few years.

RIP.

Look what you've done, Marcello.

[ThunderBass]

Add me to the list of people who are disappointed Tarja didnt make it... this contest was always going to be won by the fanboys but i thought a decent number would still take it seriously...

[Kingofdudes]

Add me to the list of people who are disappointed Tarja didnt make it... this contest was always going to be won by the fanboys but i thought a decent number would still take it seriously...

The list has some good and even great singers in it, don't get your knickers in a twist.

[PepsiMetal]

What bands have been influenced by nightwish and Tarja?

[Lord Abortion]

What bands have been influenced by nightwish and Tarja?
By Tarja...

Within Temptation
Lacuna coil
anyone with an operatic female vocalist, really.

[Steerpike]

What bands have been influenced by nightwish and Tarja?

From what I hear, Europe has had a surge of symphonic bands since Nightwish became big. They've inspired people.

[Tommi Hendrix]

Wow, all those vocalists bar Bowie and Possibly Freddie Mercury suck.
Well done.
**** off . :cool:

it´s my opinion , biatch

[Kronos]

What bands have been influenced by nightwish and Tarja?
Oooh, let me see...

After Forever - released first album in 2000

Lunatica - formed in 98, but got a female singer in 01

Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation formed around the same time as Nightwish but I'm sure there has been a bit of cross-fertilization of ideas etc.

As I said in my post, how many successful female-fronted goth/metal bands were there before 1997? And how many now?

Yet none got represented in these poll results. Shame.

[PinkFreud]

Indeed it's a shame. Most people here mentally overload when a technically untalented singer is respected. Kiedis isn't very technical, but plainly, he sounds good. He has a great voice.
eh, in your opinion he sounds good. quite frankly, to me, he sounds like he's straining all the time. it sounds like he's trying to sing out of his range.

anyone want to hear ian gillan's version of gethsemane off of jesus christ superstar? im fully willing to upload it if some people want it.

[rhcp pman]

eh, in your opinion he sounds good. quite frankly, to me, he sounds like he's straining all the time. it sounds like he's trying to sing out of his range.

Yeah, possibly a bit. I'm ok with that as long as I don't see heads exploding when Kiedis gets a lot of votes (as has already happened).

[Time]

when will the new polls be up?

[temporary]

eh, in your opinion he sounds good. quite frankly, to me, he sounds like he's straining all the time. it sounds like he's trying to sing out of his range.

anyone want to hear ian gillan's version of gethsemane off of jesus christ superstar? im fully willing to upload it if some people want it.

Yeah, I'd love it.

I'm rather sore about the lack of Janis, Tarja, and Jeff (Tate.) Still, it turned out pretty well overall.

[shadow_stalker]

Right, it's a vocal ability poll.
If its a vocal ability poll, how did people like Ozzy and Robert plant get in?

no offence to ozzy i love his solo work and sabbath but he isnt even nearbeing the same level as people like Bruce dickinson

What bands have been influenced by nightwish and Tarja?
EVenesence just rip off bands like nightwish, Lacuna coil and within temptation does that count?
