BEST BAND EVER: Results!

Oliva’s fine, Stanne is a great growler, and I enjoyed that performance of Englund, but Serj is an easy vote and a really versatile singer.
 
I didn't really mind anyone here. I like Stanne a lot, he has a great sounding growl, and the added bonus of clean vocals too. I had to think hard about this, because although Serj is clearly a singer with excellent range and power, I'm not keen on that slight warble he regularly has (it gives an impression of a weak voice) and find that his performance regularly seems to be bolstered by quickfire vocals and backing vocals.

Why is Jon Oliva here?

He used to be great for a while. Like, on this song I posted. Idk why he ever got himself replaced by Zach Stevens who (at the time) was an inferior singer.

Mikael Stanne is melodeath legend and he still sounds as awesome as ever, both cleans and growls. Easy vote for him.

Didn't enjoy a single second of the other guy's voice.

You have to be exaggerating.

Serj used to be great, but his voice fell apart pretty fast in his career.

He sounds like a less-talented Russell Allen.

I don't think they sound alike at all. Tom Englund never really went for higher notes or screaming like Russell. Evergrey had some cool albums and Tom mostly shines on ballads and slower songs like this. Tough group for him.

Oh dear, this is a hard choice.
Geddy Lee is possibly my favourite vocalist here (and he's already playing bass), but I'm not sure about the voting.
 
Weakest group so far. There are so many eliminated vocalists who would've topped this group. Draws can really be a slap in the face of meritocracy sometimes.
 
Lzzy Hale is an excellent vocalist. I've never cared much for Halestorm, but her performance at Download the other year was impressive. Range, power and agility, and all executed note-perfect while performing live in a demanding set. I'm still tempted to vote Joakim because his voice is ideal for Sabaton, and distinctive, if not technically brilliant, and he's an enormously entertaining frontman. Robert Smith is also distinctive and his voice is a hallmark of The Cure....but maybe not a lot of scope for anything else. Geddy Lee's vocals are possibly what I like least about Rush, meanwhile.
