Best rock vocal album ever?

[Mr Badguy]

I was listening to Journey`s "Escape" and Steve Perry owns that fuckin` LP with some of the most amazing singing ever.

It made my big toe shoot right up in my boot.

What singing on what album sends shivers up your back it`s so good?

[Seshmeister]

Gay music.

Is your second favourite Jimmy Sommerville?:)

[Unchainme]

Am I The only one other Badguy who kinda likes Journey? I think Wheel In The Sky Is auctually a pretty good song of theirs.

[Seshmeister]

No I think Jesterstar does too...;)

[Susie Q]

I LOVE Journey!! Steve Perry's vocals are freakin' AMAZING!!
I also love Robin Zander of Cheap Trick, he has a good set of pipes as well.

What`s up with Journey?

Their biggest hits maybe ballads but there are some good rock numbers in there as well ("Escape", "Stone in love", "Chain reaction", "Seperate ways (worlds apart)" etc).

And if you think Steve Perry isn`t a great singer then you`re talking out of your ass.

[Soul Reaper]

Queensryche CDs. Geoff Tate has an amazing voice.

He sang his ass off on some of those songs..."Seperate ways(worlds apart)" is one I still crank up.

[Dirty Duck]

I think Perry's a wonderful singer...but to be a frontman you need more then a voice...you need DAVId LEE ROTH BAAABY!!!

[Dirty Duck]

The who has some great Live stuff..good vocals

[Soul Reaper]

Queen albums are also GRATE for vocals

[Matt White]

MOTORHEAD---ACE OF SPADES

[franksters]

soundgarden a must!

[Unchainme]

Just a small town girl, livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin’ anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(chorus)

Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlight people

One Of The Best Ballads ever, Hagar always try to rip off 'em, But defintly falls short, Didn't Journey Go on Tour With Van Halen in the late 70's if I can recall.

That screamin' on "Gonna Raise Hell" has to be up there.

"Hello There"

"He's A Whore"

"Elo Kiddies"

"Baby Loves To Rock"

"If You Want My Love"

"Auf Wiedersehen" (see screamin')

"Mandocello", "Worlds Greatest Lover", or "The Flame" for ballads....

"Anytime" from the 1997 release....

That dude's never lost a step....they blew Alice Cooper off the Amp-Itheater stage a few weeks back.

First box set nomination:

Sex, America, Cheap Trick.

[HELLVIS]

I agree with some of the above LEAD vocal albums mentioned above, but there is more to a great vocal album than just lead vocals. With that in mind, I gotta say Queen A Night at the Opera.

As far as lead vocal albums, don't forget Alice In Chains "Facelift" (especially Love Hate Love), Judas Priest "Unleashed In The East" (Victim of Changes...holyfuckinshit!!!), and Soundgarden "Louder Than Love" ( check out Big Dumb Sex)

[ben halen]

Led Zep I

VHII

Deep Purple, Made in Japan

Soundgarden, Superunknown

Wow, Victim of Changes!
I think I seriously injured my throat trying to imitate Halford on that one.


Uh, that didn't sound too good.

I forgot about Ian Gillan. I also love his opening screams on Black Sabbath's "Born Again" album.

Shit, I haven't listened to that in ages. I'll dust it off tomorrow.

Can't believe someone else actually owns it.

[Dirty Duck]

I'll take a side order of ZEPPLIN please...

[WACF]

Sebastian Bach sounded deadly in Skid Row....

[Warham]

Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.

[Mr Grimsdale]

Pretty much anything featuring David Coverdale.

[Mama's Fool]

Yeah, Baz on the Slave to the Grind album was great. Wasted Time is a great performance, whether you like the song or not.

AGREED!

But Pretty much any Queen album has some of the best lead and backround vocals around, id say one in particular but i cant choose!

[theicecreamman]

Eat em and Smile-DLR

Somwhere in Time-Iron Maiden

[Axl S]

Holy Diver

[thome]

I agree with all

not that it's worth much, steve Perry can sing like six MF'ers sometimes
i like to say what if he had a diff style heavier he would rule
but he rules in the( Soft?) Baladarific Rock style.

Slam Dancing to the, Circle Jerks, Golden Shower of Hits!

There's some Vocals you can sink your teeth into!
Hetson!!
Coup de Eta ........... MF
coup d'Ètat

coup d'Ètat(4 times)

the government gets overthrown
a sudden force,a major blow
over out,the new comes in
coup d'Ètat
give me a bomb
a molotov
it's a coup d'Ètat!
the generalisimo sets up shop
step out of line
your neck's on the block
armies marching through the streets
dressed so sharp,dressed so neat

coup d'Ètat(twice)

a push from the left and a shove from the right
it's all planned up,we'll do it tonight
first the president then his wife
we'll take them for ranson
or take their lives
attack their embassy
they are our enemies
el presidente smokes cigars
whoever he does not like
he shoots or put behind bars

coup d'Ètat(twice)

kill all


Just Like Candy Yes ? No..? Perry would Rule!!!!

[Douglas T.]

OOOps sorry didn't notice the VOCAL part of the thread! scratch all but SKID ROW! I think Plant, Bach, Tate and Perry got this thread in a dead heat!

[Douglas T.]

poodle head would rank amongst the bottom feeders!

[Jérôme Frenchise]

The only vocals that will give me shivers are some girls's. Janis, Aretha, Tina, Catherine Ringer (from the French Rita Mitsouko), Kate Bush (ahem!... :o)...

They won't give me the shivers, but I dig the vocals in "Sergeant Pepper", the Beach Boys' stuff... but that's so obvious.
A bit off the track, you also have the Pretty Things' "Parachute" (1970), that I'll recommend once again... :cool:

NICE CHOICE!

[Diamondjimi]

Kings X -Gretchen Goes to Nebraska + Faith,Hope,Love...etc.....

[Rebel]

Damn right, they can say all they want, throw together a band of whomever, but it ain't Skynyrd without Ronnie. He's probably turning in his grave seeing what Rossington has done to the Synyrd name. One of the best vocalists of the last 30 years, and without a doubt one of, if not the best songwriters.

The live version of Simple Kind of Man off the OMFTR album makes the little hairs stand up.

[Mr Badguy]

Anything by Yes.

Their vocals are always shit hot.

[Jesterstar]

Don't worry SEsh. I've been away. But when the CAts' away he collects all sorts of info on the little mice.

Game over Sesh. Oh check the Rogan board from time to time. They love Juicey tid bits about people over there. I heard what you tried to do to flappo. That will not stand.

[Matt White]

LED ZEPPELIN !V

VAN HALEN The 6 PACK

[diamondsgirl]

Freddie Mercury was consistanly good.I especially love his voice in Bohemian Rhapsody as well as Somebody to Love. Those are his two best, IMO.

Also love Paul Rodgers from his days with Free and Bad Co.

Roy Orbison had great range. :cool:
