Best Rock Singers of 2020
Figured this might be better than the 2016 Rock singers list (AKA a old list of mine) because it isn't overly specific. They'll be ranked by overall vocal ability, likability, and charisma. That being said there's always going to be one or two that I forgot to include. What do you consider to be the best rock singer of 2020?
Jonathan Howsmon Davis, also known as JD and JDevil, is an American musician best known as the leading vocalist and frontman of the nu metal band Korn. The Nothing was a solid album. He's still got it even after so many years of mediocre releases. His vocals were really strong on that album. If he ever decides to do another solo album I bet it'll be solid.
Chibi is a Canadian musician, songwriter and producer, mostly known for being the lead singer of the band The Birthday Massacre. I don't wanna sound rude... but WHO?
Corey Todd Taylor was born in December 8, 1973. He is an American musician, author, and actor best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the Nu-metal band Slipknot and hard rock/alternative metal band Stone Sour. Not a Slipknot fan... but he does have quite a range. Which has been shown time and time again. He can definitely sing pretty alright for the most part. But again... that's kinda to be expected.
John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne was born on December 3, 1948. He is also known as ''The Prince of Darkness''. Ozzy is an English singer, songwriter, and television personality. He rose to prominence in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the band Black Sabbath. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath ...read more.
Maynard James Keenan, often referred to by his initials MJK, is an American musician, record producer, winemaker, and actor, best known as the vocalist for Grammy Award-winning progressive metal band Tool. He also is the singer of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer bands that vary in style. Although Fear Inoculum was a SNORE fest. I will admit his vocals are as strong as they ever been. Not sure how much longer it'll be for his next album to come out. But knowing him it might take a few years.
Matthew "Matt" Kiichi Heafy is a Japanese-American musician, best known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Orlando based Heavy Metal/Metalcore band Trivium. Trivium's latest song displayed he still has vocal capability. Although he kinda sounds like Corey Taylor in said song. Maybe that's just me but oh well. Regardless he seems to be doing well this year which is pretty impressive.
Massimiliano Antonio "Max" Cavalera is a Brazillian singer, guitarist, and songwriter who currently plays in heavy metal bands Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, and Killer Be Killed.
Myles Richard Kennedy is an American musician, singer and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Alter Bridge, and as the lead vocalist in Slash's current band: Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. Knew I had to include him at some point. Hate or love Alter Bridge one thing is true. Myles really knows how to sing. His range is quite decent and he overall is a solid singer in general.
Kevin James LaBrie is a Canadian vocalist and songwriter, who is best known as the lead singer of the American progressive metal band Dream Theater.
Deryck Jason Whibley (Born March 21, 1980) is a Canadian musician, best known as the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, songwriter and producer of the punk rock band Sum 41. He has made 7 studio albums with Sum 41 to date.
Adam Wade Gontier is a Canadian musician and songwriter. He is the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter for Saint Asonia, but is best known as the former lead singer, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter of the Canadian rock band Three Days Grace. Grown out of TDG for the most part. But, Flawed Design by Saint Asonia was a tolerable album. Nothing I'd call great or excellent but something tolerable. Which sorta counts for something I guess.
Brent Stephen Smith is an American singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist of the band Shinedown.
Chad Robert Kroeger is a Canadian musician and producer, best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Canadian rock band, Nickelback.
Hansi Kürsch, born Hans Jürgen Kürsch, is the lead singer, lyricist, co-composer and bassist for German power metal band Blind Guardian .
