I don't know about "The Residents", but the rest of them are pretty good. I'm not sure I can choose a "worst", they're all different styles. I guess Claypool is my least favourite. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nathaniel607" rel="nofollow - My Last FM Profile

| No vote since I haven't heard Residents and Primus. But it's a tough call between Mustaine and LaBrie. Mustaine's capabilities as vocalist are very limited but he is at least somewhat convincing within his narrow zone but it's pretty hard to get more annoying than LaBrie, though he's more talented than Mustaine. |

| All of the singers here are good, in their own way. LaBrie is inconsistent, but coming from someone who has seen him live twice, he can really belt out beautifully. |

| I'll get crap for saying this, but I honestly can't get into James Labrie's or Neal Morse's style of singing, which is why I can't get too into Dream Theater, Transatlantic, or Spock's Beard. The music in all of those bands is excellent, but because of the singing, I can't become a dedicated fan. And not to say that the singing is bad by any means, because it's not. It's just not what I like in a vocalist. |

I won't vote in a "worst of" poll, but if you think Lemmy is bad, I have to refer you to the two goons (Ashley Holt and Gary Pickford-Hopkins) who sang on "Myths & Legends of King Arthur" by Wakeman. They hardly hit a note in the entire album. One is much worse than the other, but I can't tell which is which. Dave Cousins is another vocalist who has a "love it or hate it" voice. On most songs he's magnificent, but just occasionally, it really doesn't suit the music and grates like hell. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

As a lead vox I agree Steve Howe is about the worst. As a background harmonist he can hold a note well enough that the texture is hidden. Regarding the others, Labrie from the list. Claypool is more of a character voice which has its place. If you have ever heard him live do his auctioneer speed voice or hold one of these really nasal notes for about 60 seconds its rather entertaining. The Residents have a number of vocalists male and female. The main male voice has quite a sinister drawl that is once again a character voice and has its place. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I get that impression from him sometimes, especially in a live setting. When he sticks to his strengths in singing, he's not that bad really. I'd still take his vocals over plenty of others in the thrash metal genre that don't really have an identifiable voice. And yes, Rust in Peace is an excellent album! |

| From this list I have to say Les Claypool. I also agree that Steve Howe should never, ever be allowed to sing lead vocals. Steve Hackett is also one who should refrain from singing lead. Hackett's only saving grace is he usually uses all kinds of effects to cover his poor voice, Howe just sings-ouch! |

Not exactly, Gabriel's voice is anything but flat, in songs like Battle for the Eping Forest not only has different textures and styles, but also creates different characters, that's the opposite of being flat (without variation and emotionless). Now, about the technique, Gabriel doesn't have a great voice, sounds raspy and suffers with the high ranges, but his technique is impeccable, he manages to cover all ranges using yodels and strange nosies that add emotion, Jon just throws his voice and sounds exactly identical in every song....In comparison take David Surkamp (Pavlov's Dog), he's even acuter than Jon's, but the guy adds a strange vibratto at the end of the phrases and captures the interest singing in the vein of Edith Piaff...That's technique I heard Gabriel get out of tune only once and that's when he makes the a Capella intro of Dancing with a Moonlit Knight in the "Genesis in Concert film". He's not a great natural singer but is a great vocalist...At least IMO. Iván

Come on Iván, please man, don't go there. Jon isn't the best vocalist in the world, but worst than Gabriel? And then further compare it with that guy from Pavlov's Dog and still tell that he's worst that that guy? First of all, that guy from Pavlov's dog, he has no technique at all, his vibratto is not only forced and badly made, but also sounds terribly artificial. He trembles his jaw instead of singing propperly, which is an extrememly common "easy" way to simulate that technique, but it does not sound good at all. And talking about Gabriel's (lack) of technique is just silly. He has no technique at all, he simply sings whatever way he can, just like Jon. You are simply talking out of personal prefferance, not out of reason. You simply like Gabriel's amatourish style the same way others like Jon's. -------------

That's my personal and honest opinion, I respect your's but I disagree. Most singers when don't reach a high pitch, simply shout Gabriel created that special and unique semi yodel that increases the emotional effect. Jon has an horrendous range and makes no effort to make any variation, the only thing that changes in his singing is the volume, can't reach low ranges, he simply avoids them. I feel no changes, emotion or any variation in Jon's voice, something that Gabriel and Surkamp have. BTW: I saw Surkamp, and his vibratto is not made with jaw trembling, lets face it, without Surkamp, Pavlov's Dog would had only been another melodic Prog band, he's what makes it special, in YES I believe Jon is the only weak spot.

I don't consider myself a Jon Anderson basher, bashing implies to attack somebody normally without reason or because bigotry, but to express an opinion is not bashing. I just dare to say what I think., people believe their idols are sacred and qualify as bashing a valid opinion. His voice destroys my nerves, I love Yes music, but they are not in my top 20 exclusively because of Jon Anderson's monotonous voice. Now I'm not a fan of his lyrics, but I wouldn't have any problem with them if a good vocalist sung those lyrics. Iván -------------

Spoiler: Homer Flynn is the singing Resident. This is clearly a troll thread so I won't vote. All of these vocalists work well in their respective bands, otherwise they wouldn't be established members for as long as they've been. Clearly none of you have heard the music of Trent Gardner. While he occasionally writes some brilliant vocal hooks, he's definitely someone who could benefit from employing a different vocalist. (And his work with other vocalists has been pretty consistently excellent). -------------

As such, I find Dominici more palatable, though just pretty regular as far as metal singers go. But I like LaBrie's singing on the performance of Fortune In Lies off Live at the Marquee more. He seems to have had a great evening then, judging from the recordings.

I own all Dream Theater Albums, saw them live 3 times. Don´t get me wrong, James LaScream is doing a OK job, otherwise I would not own all their albums, but yes, I truely think that Charlie Dominici did the job better .
Maybe I am also biased due to the fact that I bought WDANDU when I came out back in 1989 ( bought the cassette at that time), and fell so absolutely in love with that album. This love lasts till today. So I was already a big Dream Theater Fan before anyone ever heared the name James LaBrie and in fact, long time before you, dear Disgruntled Porcupine, even were conceived.
But who knows, maybe I need to have my ears checked from listing for solid 22 years to WDANDU.For me somehow all other albums after WDANDU where always a slight disapointment, although I also like them, but they are just not the same. What really set me off aginst James is when I hearf him singing WDANDU The Officila Bootleg, his vocals are so utterly terrible on that recording compared to Charlie´s amasing peformance on DT's debut. So to make a long story short, PLEASE don't ever again ask me if i ever heard Dream Theater before! ------------- Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus |

I was tolerant of Labrie when there were only a handful of progmetal bands. Now the sound of his singing causes me physical discomfort. But really, most progmetal vocalists deter me from listening. I am far more likely to pick up an instrumental performance, of which there are now literally hundreds of quality options.

I don't really have a preference but if anybody has heard Mustaines voice the last couple of years it has aged terribly and can barely sing anymore. I think LaBrie's voice has gotten much better the last few years and it's as good as ever now and i have never disliked his voice other than on Awake. I havn't really heard much Phish but on the Genesis covers they performed on the RnR Hall of Fame his voice was pretty questionable so i'll unfairly go with him

The most recent clean vocalist for Into Eternity, I really dont like that guys singing, he takes high pithed vocals to an obsured extreme. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
