How true! Despite his unusual voice, I actually like some of their stuff. Go figure, eh? |

The most extreme vocalist I have ever heard is Aretha Franklin

I don’t know if I would call her extreme, but the Sami singer Mari Boine definitely has her own style where she mixes rock/jazz with traditional yoik. Her album Gula Gula (1990) was released on Peter Gabriel’s RealWorld label. Here live in Oslo Opera House in 2009:

For the more conventional answer, I would say Mike Patton. Otherwise look up Tenku. Yikes.

^Mike Patton is definitely up there.
However, Luc Lemay and Steeve Hurdle take the cake (for me) on Gorguts' 1998 game-changing record "Obscura".

Can't believe Kate Bush hasn't been mentioned.
Also, the vocalist from Ween... not really prog, but not really anything else either.

Milić Vukašinović was sreaming well with his band Vatreni Poljubac (engl. "Kiss Of Fire") at the first Yugoslavian Heavy Metal album Oh, Što Te Volim, Joj! (engl. "Oh, I love you, Oh!") released in 1978. Edited by Svetonio - August 02 2014 at 22:02 |

There are some very mundane examples of extreme here.
Diamanda Galas has already been mentioned and she is undoubtedly the queen of extreme, Yma Sumac had an incredible range but you'd not call her singing style extreme, I would say Jarboe as she has been described thusly: "To say she has the most amazing vocal range just doesn't encompass her ability to go from fragility and delicacy to raw screaming power. Half-siren, half-steamroller, a little like Linda Blair in "The Exorcist" in how she alternates from innocent little girl to roaring demon; 0 to 666 in under two seconds." (Guardian Unlimited, UK). However I think that is a bit of journalistic exaggeration, she is more the menacing demon than a roaring one, anyway as the trend of flooding posts with pointless video's continues unabated, here's an example that fails to illustrate anything: |

Ex-Yugoslavia female rock star and Croatian singer Josipa Lisac (already in the Prog Archives as a prog-related act) did do an amazing ("extreme") perfomance at Gubec Beg rock-opera by Ivica Krajac, Karlo Metikoš and Miljenko Prohaska, 1975. |

I said Tenku when I meant to say Tenko.

Scream your last scream you old woman with a basket, was a Syd Barrett line that appeared in many bootlegs, btw, and was a part of the original "Greatest Gig in the Sky" before it became a vocal powerhouse.
