And don't post Freddie Mercury. He's a given, and you post him once and the whole thread will just be people agreeing with you.
I pick Cedric Bixler-Zavala. Few people can put as much passion and energy into their vocals as this guy. Just listen to any of the songs from The Mars Volta's first two albums and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Who's Your Favorite Lead Singer?
Nice pick actually buddy :) love mars volta and at the drive in :)
"Nice pick actually buddy :) love mars volta and at the drive in :)Definitely.Id say either Max Bemis or Matt Bellamy"
ReTarDedFisHy picks M. Shadows (of Avenged Sevenfold) and Ben Burnley (of Breaking Benjamin)
Benjamin for his melodic vocals that made Breaking Benjamin famous.
This guy's voice is great. Period.
It's hard to pick a favorite song, but I think it has to be "Forget It"

M. Shadows because he's absolutely ripped (jk, haha) and he actually has a nice voice for a Hard Rock band.
ReTarDedfisHy knows lots of people hate on A7X because they moved away from Metalcore, but ReTarDedFisHy is glad they did.
Screaming like an idiot < Screaming like a rock star
Nice singing voice too, like in "Dear God"

"Thom Yorke."Great singer and songwriter. I agree here.

"Maynard James Keenan, Robb Flynn, or Phil Anselmo."That guy is fucking incredible.
DoctorTran said:
"Frank Black of The Pixies."I love The Pixies, but I wouldn't cite his singing as one of the better elements of the band. His songwriting is of much higher quality than his voice.

"Does the lead singer have to be part of a band? If yes then I have to many answers."No, not really. List away.
Yeah, Maynard is great, but still, I hold Robb Flynn on some of the highest ground that exists. The dood is COMPLETELY about his music and his fans, and on top of which, he's the frontman for what is probably one of the most underrated and still underground metal bands to ever exist: Machine....fucking....Head.

That was pretty awesome. I'll have to show this to my metal head friend.Feast your eyes upon "Descend The Shades of Night" and tell me this dood isn't a thorough fucking badass:"
"oli sykes"Fucking failure. Listen to real grind - like Death or Napalm Death.
"...dude. That was pretty awesome. I'll have to show this to my metal head friend."If your "metalhead" friend ain't never heard Machine Head...then he ain't a metalhead.
"oli sykes"Haha, Oli Sykes, huh?
ReTarDedFisHy doesn't listen to uhh, whatever genre Bring Me the Horizon is, but he likes the breakdown for Pray for Plagues.
"OH!" Badass.
People say Sykes is the best growler, but ReTarDedfisHy doesn't know smack about that kind of genre anyway.
"ReTarDedFisHy picks M. Shadows (of Avenged Sevenfold) and Ben Burnley (of Breaking Benjamin)A7X started to suck when the lead singer blew his vocal chords out. He cant scream for shit anymore.
Benjamin for his melodic vocals that made Breaking Benjamin famous.

DualReaver shouldn't criticize others taste in music.
Does DualReaver have the attention span of a retarded fish or something?
Can he not hold his hateful comments?
Must he always try to crash and burn others?
Haha, good thing that ReTarDedFisHy knows a thing or two about music.
And one of them is that each individual has a very different taste in music.
Edit: @Gunner:
Nope. He can't. They deny it, but he doesn't even sing the Waking the Fallen songs as they should anymore.
omg u dun undrstnd!!!! its not death metal!!! its progressive melodic death metalcore omgomg
Seriously, stop splitting hairs with genre names, it's annoying as hell.
lalalalala can't we all just play nice? :o
*goes back into hiding*
*contemplates that he could spew a whole load of mean things to dr*
*wonders what kind of thread this will become*
Edit: @DualReaver
ReTarDedFisHy is pretty sure that's splitting hairs. Don't take his word for it, he doesn't listen to death.
@jakob187:
"...I don't think you wanna fuck with me" ReTarDedFisHy thinks that it really does sum you up :S
"This is a misled statement by someone who shops at Hot Topic far too much. Next thing I know, you'll tell me you like BOO also....or Winds of Plague. Probably Job for a Cowboy.yeah, wtf i dont like grind or any of those...
its called deathcore man and it fucking rocks =/ i guess you dont like bmth anyway but theyre damn better than napalm death
"

Machine Head IS metal. Hell, I can remember when I bought the Burn My Eyes album...I was 10. That shit changed my life. Well, that and Cowboys From Hell."
"Izzy Stadlin of Guns N Roses or Brian Johnson of ACDC"Izzy Stradlin was not the lead singer of GnR >_>
However, he had a band called the JuJu Hounds
Impossible to pick one.
I will try to pick just "singers". No growlers. Well... Maybe one or two.
Hansi from Blind guardian. Listen to him live (at 4:53) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tb8yHJhlkY&feature=related
Serj and Daron from SOAD and Scars on Broadway
Barlow from Iced Earth
Chuck from Death
Halford from Priest
Eric from Manowar
Devin Townsend
Vortex from Dimmu
Bruce Dickinson from Maiden
Les Claypool
Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. He's one of those singers that have mastered the sonic-scream (like Prince, Bruce Dickinson, and Rob Halford), which I just prefer over the demonic sounding growls that come out of some of today's music. His onstage antics never fail to entertain me as well. I also enjoy the vocals of James LaBrie of Dream Theater, Axle Rose, and Freddy Mercury (even though you said to avoid him) for similar reasons.
