Most Underrated Rock Vocalists
Ever get tired of seeing the same vocalists on every single list. Well your time of saying ,"Why not him here, or them there," are over. Let's bow down to the voices of the rockers we now and want the lists to love."Child In Time". Listen to it all the way through at least once and you'll know why Ian Gillan is underrated. One of the greatest songs ever and his great vocals are a huge reason!
His screaming in child in time was so cool.But most of time he doesn't involve in best metal singers.But always includes in most underrated singers.
For sure he does scream powerfully and beautyfully, and most of all all, he is even better on stage than in studio.
And it's not just about screaming. Ian has done all sorts of things - from singing with Black Sabbath to duos with Pavarotti - and he' s all done that greatly
Just listen to Child In Time! You'll get everything ;)
He's a vocal god. The most unique combination of beautiful angelic soft tone and raw powerful tone - you can hear them in one song. The most expressive and emotive voice I've ever heard. Unmatched tonal versatility. Awesome technical skills.
Demons and Wizards: Path of glory, Love's tragedy asunder, My last sunrise, Crimson king.
Blind Guardian: The bard's song, Majesty, Thorn, Into The storm, Sacred Worlds, Otherland.
This guy is a definition of underrated.
Even if you don't vote him check out these songs because you are gonna love them and his voice.
Rainbow - Can't Let You Go, I Surrender, Stranded.
Yngwie - Rising Force, Dreaming.
Deep Purple - The Cut Runs Deep, Fortuneteller, King of Dreams.
His vocal skills and technique are really very good. But he is never in the top 10, not even in the top 50 metal singers.
Helloween - The Tale That Wasn't Right; I want Out.
He's amazing.
Primal Fear - Strike, King For A Day, Diabolus, The Man (That I Don't Know).
Delp is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. In my book, he's the greatest rock vocalist of all, bar none. His closest "competitor" is Freddie Mercury.
Delp id have a fantastic range, but what puts him over the top is his beautiful timbre. His voice just sounds amazing, with a nice, rounded sound tempered with a little tartness.
The only reason I think he doesn't get more votes is that Boston has put out a very small body of work over the years.
His voice was also very versatile across a variety of genres. If you don't believe me, check out his albums with RTZ and his work on the "Barry Goudreau" solo album. "Mean Woman Blues" from Goudreau will show you what I mean.
Easily on the top 5 greatest singers list in rock history. He is up there with Freddie Mercury, Jon Anderson, and Geddy Lee, in my humble opinion. Brad Delp should be every bit as famous and revered as they are. It's total BS that whenever I mention his name, the response nine out of ten times is "who? "
Brad brought harmony to Tom's heavy layered guitars to bring rock music back and Brad and Boston don't get the respect because Tom didn't bow down to the record industy.
Hands down; best rock singer with Paul Rogers probably second. Brad had a great vocal range; better than Freddie Mercury.
Amazing vocal skills. Criminally underrated.
He was rumoured to have busted PA systems because his voice is one of the loudest ones in metal and hard rock. Bonnet is also known among the vocal experts for his l-o-o-o-o-o-ng and powerful sustain. Poor PA systems ...
He replaced Dio in Rainbow and by the way Bonnet is not a worse singer than Dio (this comes from a die hard Dio fan).
A hard rock song: Rainbow - All Night Long.
A metal song (early symphonic metal): Rainbow - Eyes Of The World (1979).
Alcatrazz - Only One Woman.
I still can't believe Blackmore kicked him out of Rainbow because he wouldn't grow his hair long. Great vocalist.
One of the best singers of all time, not just grunge or his era. He had such a wide vocal range, and emotional range that came through his music. Most of his songs you can hear him reach out unimaginable notes (Man in the Box, Love Hate Love, It Ain't Like That, etc.), but he also gives you glimpses at a softer side of his voice at other points�"illustrating a multifaceted mastermind.
Such an underrated singer. He had one of the best voices in music history that can never be copied.
Layne does still get respect though
SO UNDERRATED AND UNLUCKY...he didn't even reach his prime and the awful accident happened...
The accident took his career. I am sure he is in the league of Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
He is One of the greatest or maybe the greatest ever.
His Falsetto is thundering.
If I recall correctly, he was the real voice of Steel Dragon. I’ve always felt he deserved way more recognition
His voice is awesome - it's like Dio, David Coverdale and Ian Gillan singing together. Check this out and be convinced:
Jorn - Don't talk to strangers (Dio cover)
Jorn - Burn (Deep Purple cover, David Coverdale)
Jorn - Perfect strangers (Deep Purple cover, Ian Gillan)
You have to agree that you've just heard the best covers of these classic metal songs.
Easily one of the most talented rock vocalists of all time. Never gets the recognition he deserves.
Amazing singer- check out lucifers friend... Very underrated album.
Uriah Heep - Sympathy.
By far the most underrated
Stumble down romancer is a fantastic tune!
Sexy, soulful voice. Highly underrated!
Unique soul unlike anyone else
Definitely one of the masters today.
Edguy: Nailed to the wheel; Sacrifice.
His dark voice is very cool.
Thin Lizzy - Killer On The Loose, Angel of death, Cold Sweat, Thunder And Lightning.
KILLER ON THE LOOSE is my favorite TL song. Phil had a great voice... one of the gods of rock.
Number 1 and Gillan number 0
How underrated you could think of a singer when he doesn't got any user/visitor to comment on him.
His solo music is just phenomenal. He has also taken a step aside from rock music and proven himself to be talented composer in classical music.
he really should earn more credits. he sings of freedom too.
Greatest living vocalist in the 2000's
1 of the best vocals ever heard
Uriah Heep - July Morning, Bird Of Prey, Look at Yourself.
Number 35? Seriously. Number one more like it.
He is very underrated.
Zxm could do with ear wax removal, Geddy has a unique voice, often much derided by those outside the Rush bubble but appreciated my many and both he and the band as a whole have been an incredible influence on so many other modern musicians.
I don't think he is underrated. Cause he doesn't have a very good voice
Best singer on the planet and nobody's heard of him. It's criminal! Check out his solo stuff, or more recently Black Country Communion and be convinced!
Chris Cornell is mostly just known for Soundgarden, but since then he's done tins of amazing songs. He's not just an amazing singer, but also a gifted songwriter that weaves gentle ballods and powerful rock into sole albums or song, and truly deserved the same amount of fame as Kurt Cobain.
He's a vocal god.
This is a huge voice - try Melancholy, Dracula, Damien.
