10 Great Vocalists

10 vocalists that I've always considered a cut above the rest.
1Trent Reznor

Let's get right down to it... Most lists that I create will have something NIN on them. Reznor is probably my favourite ever, from his screams to his whispers, his swagger to his voice cracks, I can't get enough of him. Best performance- Hurt.
2Kurt Cobain

Much better voice than Dave Grohl, it must be said. His voice has a few very unexpected twists to it sometimes and his Unplugged performance is more than enough to convince me. Best performance: Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
3Dio

Simply put, one of the best metal vocalists ever. Black Sabbath were at their best with him, and he was a God on his own as well. Best performance: Don't Talk To Strangers.
4Peter Gabriel

Beats Phil Collins in pretty much every way. Genesis just weren't the same without him, I gotta give him credit. Best performance: Anything off The Lamb or Peter Gabriel 3.
5Layne Staley

Yes, he did go on a slump towards the end of his career, but who can honestly blame him? His earlier performances are some of the best in grunge, if not in heavy rock full stop. Best peformances: Rooster (Alice In Chains) or Wake Up (by Mad Season)
6Liam Gallagher

Easily the more bearable personality of the two Gallaghers, and the best vocalist as well. One of the definitive rock/pop vocalists. Best performance: D'you Know What I Mean?
7Thom Yorke

No doubt about it, Yorke is a complete cut above the norm. Muse never had anything on Radiohead, and Yorke may well be the reason why. Not to mention his lyrics! Best performance: Everything In It's Right Place, 2+2=5 or Karma Police.
8Maynard James Keenan

All his attempts to draw focus off of himself simply make him look better. His folk-influenced voice most commonly seen with A Perfect Circle is probably his best, but his angry vocals are only edged out by a margin. One of the best lyricists I've heard, certainly. Best performance: The Outsider or The Grudge.
9David Gilmour

He puts more emotion into his guitar, to be fair, but ever since I heard Wish You Were Here, he's been one of my heroes and greatest influences, both vocally and on guitar. Best peformance: Wish You Were Here.
10James LaBrie

Yes, it's true. I honestly don't see what's wrong with his vocals, I can't see anyone denying that he is definitely a good singer at core at the very least. Without him, Dream Theater just wouldn't be the same, his high vocals have lead to that famous love/hate relationship with fans, but I have to put myself FAR on the love side. Best performance: Pull Me Under.
