I put this poll up at Prog Archives too and it did pretty well. And since there seems to be a lot more variety of vocals in metal than prog (as far as I can tell), I felt this was a good place to post this.

Anyway, I love me all kinds of vocals. But I'd like to know of you which is your favorite style? I hope I got everything down, but hey, whatever.

Please discuss! I think I like death growls most myself, but I'll wait for a bit before voting.

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

I don't have a favorite vocal style - it's all about context. Operatic female vocals would suck in Morbid Angel, death grunts would suck in Iron Maiden, rapping would suck in Dream Theater, etc. etc.

I tend to typically gravitate towards clean vocals and death growls, but it all depends on what I'm listening to.

I like vocals that are sung "powerfully" most of the time.  I would call it shouting, but I don't mean in the thrash style at all.  Kind of like the shouting on Earth Day (by Devin Townsend) or the end of The Manifold Curiosity (by Kayo Dot).  Just like when the vocalists "give it their all," I guess.

But I enjoy about all of these vocal styles, it's hard to just pick one.

I voted for normal clean male vocals since most of my favourite bands fit that option best.

I like really raw thrash styled singing. The kind that�s almost growled but not quite. Aggressive sneering attitude filled "fuck You" type vocals are right down my alley. The lead vocalists from acts like Demolition Hammer, Exhorder, Defleshed and Carcass are some of my favorites.

I really have a hard time deciding which I prefer since as stated before, it's all about context.  Most of those styles appeal to me, though I don't listen to many bands with full-on operatic vocals, and some of the less common forms of singing (at least in rock/metal).

Of course I wouldn't want vocals in the wrong context. But that's not what this poll is about. Wink

I went with death growls. When done deep and powerful, they're so effective.

My favorite type is probably clean vocals, but death growls are sometimes better when they're really well done. Yodeling is also pretty high up there... Tongue

This is a hard one.  I'll give my vote to falsetto, mostly for bands like Radiohead and Sigur Ros.
