Taken from the album Made In Japan, the live version of Child In Time where he starts singing softly and then builds up to the screaming that goes up in octaves! To this day I haven´t heard anything like it, it was really progressive for 1972. What are your thoughts on this... |

well other than the said performance I really am blown away by Claire Torre on "The great gig in the sky" and also Jon Anderson on "Heart of The Sunrise" (sorry but) There is also quite an amazing vocal performance on the deftones song "Knife Party" during the Bridge |

| Since you asked for the greatest vocal performance I will have to tell you. The greatest vocal performance was by the amazing Tim Buckley on the album Greetings from L.A. The song is called Get On Top. Next Question. |

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...  ------------- http://www.mylodonrecords.com/ |

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. |

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.

Peter Hammill sounds like he has asthma, I can almost hear the snot in his throat and nose when he sings. Way overrated IMO! Same goes with Gabriel.
As for prog, I would go with just about anything Annie Haslam has done. As for non-prog, give me Chris Isaak anyday. What a range! His music maybe syrupy and simplistic, but he can really belt a song out!

You have only heard one half of Hammill then. Listen to an album like "Fireships". Where is the snot there? ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

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 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 ). To mention just two, I'd say Greg Lake on "Epitaph" and Richard Sinclair on "Winter Wine".
