Bjork boo

>>72223250
W-what do you mean by that?
Is Tom ok?

Joanna Newsom pre-HOOM was really good in a quirky way, unfortunately her voice broke

I also really like Phil Elverum and the guy from Modest Mouse, Phil always has that soft tone but clearly can hear when he's yelling. Guy from Modest Mouse for LCW was quite good as well, iconic even

After deliberating for a couple of minutes I'll go with Neil Young, but Bjork was definitely close

>>72224309
HOOM has her best vocals you pleeb

>>72224228
his okay

>>72224691
it's a lot less vibrant than Ys and MeM. HOOM is her best album but I don't enjoy the vocals as much, so sue me

>>72224727
i see em as just as vibrant, but in a much more subtle way. they're not as immediate as her vocals on ys, but they're much more rewarding imo.

>>72224828
This, HOOM is her most nuanced work. And Ys is my personal favorite.

past 90's fuck no but still

>>72224828
the vocals on Ys are much closer and emotive, listen to Only Skin and then put on In California or something, you immediately hear how close she is to you as if she were whispering. maybe it's just a personal perception but it feels like the audience expands in HOOM and it's more like she's in concert or something, rather than playing to you personally. I'm trying not to sound like a fag here

>>72225012
yeah her rough voice is so perfect on Parallel Lines

My favorite singer next to King Diamond

>>72225067
hm yeah i can see why you'd think that. the more expansive and instrumentally diverse arrangements on HOOM puts a maybe less *personal* feel on the vocals. but i see that aesthetic as just as emotive and evocative as the aesthetics on ys, just in a different way

dev is my favorite musician of all time. kind of a bold opinion but i honestly think he's the greatest singer that ever lived. not only does he have amazing vocal chops, but the amount of feeling and emotion he can put into his voice is incredible

for me the song that does it is storm, with the bridge going into the last chorus.

great song. I don't think he's the greatest voice ever, but I would agree that there are moments where he truly does bring feeling into his music in ways few people ever could. The Death of Music, Deadhead, Kingdom, Failure, The Way Home, Bastard, etc. It also doesn't hurt that he's phenomenal live as well. He's my second favorite musician ever behind Richard D. James.

Robert Smith for sure

I feel like Phil Elverum is the obvious choice but really really truly Phil Elverum

Elverum's voice has become very agreeable to me over the years; I'm not fond of how it sounded in any of his work under The Microphones.
