There is one genre of music that by far surpasses all others in the production of powerful vocalists…Opera. However, if we are talking rock’n’roll, 80’s heavy metal produced its share of vocal athletes as well. Powerful "screaming" vocalists & shredding guitars are the hall mark of the genre. A small sampling:
Bruce Dickenson-Iron Maiden
Rob Halford-Judas Priest
Tom Araya-Slayer
Geoff Tate-Queensryche
King Diamond-Merciful Fate
These guys are the definition of "metal." By no means is thier music for everyone, but if you are looking for guys with lungs of steel, a 5 octave range, and the ability to awaken the dead beasts of hell- these are the dudes.Thought up another screamer:John Brannon of Negative Approach/Laughing Hyenas,that guy is crazy <img>
more fav male vocalists:
Iggy Pop
Joey Ramone
Rob Tyner(MC5)
Richard Buckner
Townes Van Zandt
J Robbins(Jawbox/Burning Airlines)
Bob Mould
Bill Janovitz(Buffalo Tom)
Soo Young Park(Seam)
Jeff Martin(Idaho)
Greg Dulli(Afghan Whigs)
Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo(Sonic Youth)
Mark Linkous(Sparkehorse)
Mike Ness(Social Distortion)I’ve always been impressed by John Lennon’s screaming on songs like "Yer Blues" and especially on "Well, well, well". But in my mind there is no one to even come close to Kurt Cobain. He could scream like no other. Pain on music.
Jerry Cantrell was the lead guitarist and backup vocalist of Alice in Chains, Lane Staley was the Lead vocalist, but when you consider it, they almost always sang together, the Alice in Chains sound is the dual lead vocals sound.
Can’t belive nobody’s mentioned Mike Patton (faith no more/MR BUNGLE)
Henry Rollins for sure…if you ever see a show live you know what I mean. It looks like the man is going to bust a vain any second.
I have to also agree with kweezy
Rob Halford-Judas Priest
Tom Araya-Slayer…every song seems like he gets louder when he plays live and since almost all the songs they play he is screaming that is kind of impressive.Best Screamer–Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney/Heavens to Betsy
I don’t think anyone mentioned Frank Black either.
