This is my list of my favourite vocalists, 10 male, 10 female.
MALE
FEMALE
These are in some semblance of order, but it was actually very hard to list them in order, so some are just wherever I put them because I couldn't choose.
So, that's my top 20 vocalists, broken down into male and female categories.
MALE
- Mark Jansen (Epica, MaYan, ex-After Forever)
- Arien van Weesenbeek (Epica, MaYan) note: I only listed bands he's done vocals in, he is the drummer of said bands, and has been drummer of a few others. He's not a main vocalist, but I do love his growls :)
- Roy Khan (ex-Kamelot, ex-Conception)
- Christian "Chrigel" Glanzmann (Eluveitie)
- Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth)
