100 Greatest Rock Vocal Albums

Not II I think , more so cause he had a lot more in his voice in the second album , though it is debatable, and I think I had said they are about dead equal , so II being bigger and more influential , can get a tie break and move on ahead ....

II was probably bigger, but does that ALONE make it more influential? You have to question these things, grasshopper.

III is certainly more versatile, and SIBLY totally destroys everything on II.

sorry was off, and nah man , variety i agree, but as vocal standards, Plant's biggest number is probably WLL, nearly every high note singer goes for that as a benchmark performance , and it also has heartbreaker , these 2 songs alone make II a lot bigger than III , vocally and otherwise .... he sounds more powerful on a whole on II as well , more weight in his voice , so nah , the greatness factor would bring keep II in the top 10 , however, you could switch III and IV , that makes sense, id personally have all 4 in the top 25, i think its dserving ...

Fair enough. But I really disagree with WLL being the "benchmark" performance for high note singers. You could say that for Black Dog, and Dazed as well.

of course, hence, on a greatness level, unfortunately, the other 3 are ahead , though you;re wrong with Dazed, CB is easily the biggest song vocally on the 1st album .... from wolfmother to dickinson to cornell to kennedy , they've all done it .....

Wanted, since you're a mod, can you get this damn thing updated?

And I think an Aerosmith album should be in the 41-50 range. Either the self-titled or Rocks, cant decide...

Probably my favorite thread on the vocal forum, and no activity!

Where's my good man gray?

even though im through with lists, that remains one of the best top 10s ive seen around here ...

Yeah, so you agree with it?
Think it could use just a little work.

Yousha · **Posted:** Mon Aug 08, 2011 3:43 pm

I honestly think Quad could drop below to 7, it really isnt as huge/groundbreaking....fantastic as it is ..... and the 3 beneath it are clearly bigger vocal albums .... in fact, 3 of the biggest ever....Grace can stay for being the single most imporant vocal album of the past 20 years and by a substantial margin....but Quad can drop .... and Innervisions > LZ also ......otherwise, perfect....the albums on are about perfect....thats the important thing ....

The lowest I could see Quad is #6. No lower.

Yeah I can agree with that I think .. I still think as a vocal album and how it burst onto the scene being so huge and all, In Rock gets a top 10, if not , then 11 ....

It really wasn't huge and it didnt burst on the scene. Maybe it did in England, but here in the states they really didnt get huge until Machine Head.
