Favorite Male Singers This Past Decade?

[KingLouieLouie]

2.Chino Moreno (Deftones)
4.Serj Tankian (System of a Down)
7. Sonny (P.O.D.)

Good calls on all the ones you listed, but had to specifically address these 3...

I can't believe that Moreno went as far as he did w/out being mentioned (especially by me).... I've loved the Deftones for years...."Around The Fur" and "White Pony" are my faves..especially his vocal delivery on "Change".....

Serj Tankian.... He would be a lot better if he constantly didnt growl... I know he does it for effect/affect, but it grates me... Other than that he does have a solid melodic voice....

Sonny... I havent listen to much of POD since "The Fundamental Elements of Southtown" was first released, but should again.....

I'm glad no one has mentioned Fred Durst yet... he's definitely a joke.....

Surprised that Jonathan Davis hasnt been mentioned yet? Not really since several (including myself) believe that he forces his vocals to the extent that they sound EXTREMELY unnatural.....

Ones I would like to add that havent been yet mentioned:

1) Jimmy Gnecco (Ours) If there is someone who could somewhat be compared (and I mean SOMEWHAT) to Jeff Buckley than it's Jimmy Gnecco..
Don't know if you've, Brandon_Webb, (or others) have heard of them.. but they remind me a lot of Radiohead and Muse....They released their BIGGEST hit in 2001 (received a lot of play on MTV X back then) "Sometimes", but havent been heard from much since....

2) Lynn Strait (Snot) I've mentioned them before.... Snot recorded/released their unforgettable debut album in '97 "Get Some", but unfortunately Strait died in a car-crash a year later while they were in the midst of working on their follow-up.... They would have even been bigger than all those other Nu-Metal bands that surfaced around that time since they actually exhibited some "CHUTZPAH" contrary to the others....

You should check out the Deftones first album. It was self-titled and had some awesome tracks. Check out "Bored" and "seven Words" two of my favorite songs.

Limp Bizkit sold out big time, but Dollar Dollar Bill Yall was a great album. And the same goes for Korn (imo). Korns self titled album was a very good one (Blind is my favorite song by them). But they got main stream quick, and I pretty much got tired of them

Yeah... I've heard Deftones before..albeit a long time ago, but should listen to it some time..... I agree about those 2 songs... just incredible.... Really glad that the Deftones have managed to survive this long.....

I was pretty much forced to listen to Limp Bizkit all of the time since one of my close friends was heavily into them....Each time a new c.d. of theirs was released, he would constantly play them nonstop..... It's hilarious that they even attempted to record w/out their most "talented" musician, Wes Borland, but I guess he's since returned to try to "salvage" them... I'll discuss more of Limp Bizkit on that 311 thread........

Korn.... their self-titled debut album was one of the most definitive albums to be released in the 90s (at the time that is), but when looking back it seems that all those "copy-cat" bands that came out around that time detracted away from it (so it hasnt survived as well over time as it would have)..... "Life Is Peachy" was definitely a "sophomore slump" in terms of follow-ups that I've ever listened to and since they've become relative "caricatures" of themselves (especially Davis).....

2 more vocalists I would like to add:
1) Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse)
2) Tommy Jordan (Geggy Tah)
