LOL

That is my only problem with Opeth. The music and Mikael Åkerfeldt's normal vox are great.

And also, just buy Still Life and try to listen to the whole thing. At first I was actually kind of AFRAID of the vocals, but I've grown to love them. If you can't get into the growls on Still Life, then stop trying to get into Opeth.

I hear you. One of the main beauties of Opeth and bands similar is the contrast between growling and clean vox. It's one of the reasons I listen to them.

Anyways, to the point, here's a list chronologically:

Morningrise:
To Bid You Farewell (strongly recommended)

My Arms Your Hearse
Credence

Still Life
Face Of Melinda
Benighted

Blackwater Park
Harvest

Deliverance
A Fair Judgement

Ghost Reveries
Atonement
Hours Of Wealth
Isolation Years

Watershed
Coil
Burden
Porcelain Heart
Hex Omega

I think that solves everything as far as pure clean vox goes


Definitely listen to Alex's comment. It's everything I was about to say.

You should check out Unhealer by Ihsahn, It has Mikeal Akerfelt as a guest vocalist on it, amazing song, amazing album.
Also If you havent already you should deffinetly check Out opeth's live album Lamentations, the first half is all their lighter stuff and they end it of with their heavier stuff, amazing DVD.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Hey

I've only got DELIVERANCE and BLACKWATER PARK

From what I remember, these tracks don't have any growling:

-Harvest (Blackwater Park)
-A Fair Judgement (An awesome track off an otherwise pretty terrible album, and it has growls on nearly every track)
-BLEAK (This track has growls, but once you get past them (They only last for a minute) the singing and the rest of the track is great)

Sorry, I'm not the biggest Opeth fan, but thats all that I can remember from the top of my head.
Good luck - Some of the local Opeth junkies will be able to help you much better than I.
