Underrated vocalists?
Oh, how I love copying threads! Anyway, forum's almost dead, nothing new here, so why not.
Who do you think are the most underrated vocalists in metal?
I'll start off with one of my favourites - Damian Wilson. Amazing voice, good range, but barely known.
So who would you guys/gals say?

Re: Underrated vocalists?
let me guess, hansi kursch will be mentioned here since, like buckethead, not everyone calls him the greatest.
never sure about the "rated" bs stuff but ill put up olaf hayer and to put one with even lesser known bands, henrik båth

Re: Underrated vocalists?
now now now, Hansi's a specialized vocalist, tends to get rated about where he should be.icecab21 wrote:let me guess, hansi kursch will be mentioned here since, like buckethead, not everyone calls him the greatest.

Pasi Rantanen though, very under appreciated.

Re: Underrated vocalists?
Roy Khan is for me the best singer ever, and I think he's kinda underrated!

Many mountains we have climbed
But all the bad times are behind

Going to add Nils Patrik Johansson (Wuthering Heights & others), Tommy Karevik (Seventh Wonder) and Miljenko Matijevic (Steelheart) to the list. ^^

Re: Underrated vocalists?
If you want to broaden your definition of power metal, Jon Oliva back in the day was hard to beat:

I've never really managed to 'classify' Savatage. They really did transcend genres.

Re: Underrated vocalists?
And because I've had too much beer tonight (again) here's another singer that doesn't get enough attention:
George! I think he sings pretty well...

(yes, I'm aware of the shameless self-promotion, but after 7 years and over 3700 posts I guess it's allowed every now and then!)
