The greatest vocal performance ever is... whenever I sing in the shower.

As much as I love Ian Gillan and "Child in Time", I chose Other. There many other vocal performances that I love (I even opened a thread on the subject once Wink). To mention just two, I'd say Greg Lake on "Epitaph" and Richard Sinclair on "Winter Wine".

You have only heard one half of Hammill then. Listen to an album like "Fireships". Where is the snot there?


If you're talking about later Hammill throat exercises, no I have to say I haven't heard any of his later work. And I can imagine his voice like Gabriel's got more more seasoned, dryer and robust. But in the 70's both of those vocalists just got on my nerves. Same with Gentle Giant, music was great but the vocals just irritated the hell out of me.

As much as I am a fan of Peter Hammill, the award goes to Cathy Berberian, composer and singer extraordinaire and wife of Italian composer Luciano Berio, for her "Stripsody" performance of 1966.

Top choices: Arrow, Man- Erg, Plague..., After The Flood, A Louse Is Not A Home...this list could go on and on really.

RONNIE JAMES DIO'S VOCALS ARE BETTER THAN ANY CONTENDER,ESPECIALLY ON HIS SABBATH AND RAINBOW MATERIAL.

SADLY HE WENT A BIT WEAK ON HIS SOLO WORK, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HOLY DIVER.

To this day I haven´t heard anything like it, it was really progressive for 1972.

You're kidding!!

David Coverdale is so much better than him (in the same band)...

By the way, Coverdale's still singing like he was 25 years old (I saw Whitesnake alive last year)...

 I can't say the same 'bout Gillan...
