Favorite Male Vocalists

Green Day would have had a completely different rrsound if Billie Joe rArmstrong didn't sound like rhe had down-syndrome rand I may have rliked the rband so much more if so. Coheed and rCambria could rhave rbenefited from a vocalist that not only had rthose rhigh notes from A-Z, rbut if they possessed ra vocalist that was more rdynamic in sound, that rrcould hit those lows as often as the highs. This rrlist portrays what I rbelieve to be the most rdynamic vocalists in rock rmusic, that were able rrto transform their music into something more than rrjust good music. rSomething a little more rcomplex.
1Creedence Clearwater Revival

John Fogerty. The most intimate raspy screams I've ever heard. Just give a
listen
to songs such as "Long As I Can See The Light" and "Heard It Through The
Grapevine" to grasp the unreal technicalities of this swamp-rocker.
2Alice In Chains

Layne Staley may not possess the dynamics the previous three offered, but the
emotion in his vocals are unmatched. Not before, nor since. It's an aching that
you
hear, a painful confession of sorrow. This, coupled with his booming angst,
lands
him in the number two spot.
3Soundgarden

As Soundgarden's frontman, Chris Cornell blew just about any other vocalist of
the
era out of the ballpark. His screeching highs and incredible control dominated
the
band's sound. It seemed as if he never had to take a breath. The best example of
his vocal capabilities, however, were on Temple of the Dog's "Say Hello 2
Heaven", where he in fact reached the heavens. Where most vocalists would go
falsetto, Cornell exploded with strength.
4Boston

Brad Delp possessed the vocal range of a god. Just when you think he's hit that
highest note he can bellow out, he screws with you by going even higher.
Thinking back, I don't think he had a limit.
5Jeff Buckley

Hallelujah. That's really all that needs to be said. His rendition of Cohen's
classic
transformed it into such an emotional heartbreak, displaying such control of his
vocals in that every note, every little nuance, was perfect. It's hauntingly
beautiful, somehow seemingly transcendent.
