it is contained anger, not down right screaming one (like on clash city rockers, for example, speaking of the same singer).

First vocalist that came to mind was Dennis Lyxzen from Refused, and Matt from the Bronx.

I'm done telling you that I'm in love
What I have will never be enough
Come on baby go live life on your own!

Cantankerous · 02.13.2008, 01:09 AM

nico does have a sadness about her voice. good call, as well as elizabeth fraser. i prefer sad or lazy over angry.
hope sandoval is capable of sounding sad.

Everyneurotic · 02.13.2008, 01:30 AM

sandy denny was reflective and nostalgic.

i love her.

Silent Dan Speaks · 02.13.2008, 01:56 AM

The lack of mention of Jeff Mangum bothers me. He's great for anger and sadness, especially at the same time.

j Bannon (angry/furious)
nina simone (sad)
diamanda galas (both)

ILL MISS YOUUUUUUUU DU DU DU DU DU DU DU DUUUUDIDIDIDIDID DU DU DU DU DU DUDUDUDUDIDIDIDIDIDIIIIII

slint rules just too fucking much.

althougt the vocals on the other songs sound rather more poetic than sad.

also:

ian curtis
robert smith (obvious choice)
matt talbot - hum. equally sad they are confusing, mind blowing and take you to a whole different world.
you're so beautifull - adorable's homeboy chorus. not really sad, but yeah
slowdive - think avalyn 1
some jeff magnum
some neil young - like thrasher. its not really sad sad but i really like it.
smiths - morrisey

i agree on mr angry steve albini. its like, the most recognizable and one of the coolest voices ever.

Rob Instigator · 02.13.2008, 05:14 PM

whoever sings for CODIENE

they have the ultimate voice for complete earthshattering depression

Glice · 02.13.2008, 05:46 PM

I have a very different sense of humour to most of you, it would seem.

ANYWAY.

Ian Curtis and Lou Reed can't sing. They do not being able to sing very well, but the inability to hold a note (cf Frank Sinatra, Dido) isn't melancholy.

Annoyingly, I think Marras is right - there's rarely a voice, in itself, which conveys anything (it's a combination of melody and arrangement, surely?) but Diamanda's is perfect.

There's something brilliantly annoying about Jandek and David Tibet's voices.

And to close I'd like to say that there's something very, very upsetting about the Carter Family, regardless of the content of the song.

fugazifan · 02.13.2008, 06:54 PM
