Quote: (Originally Posted by titan9) Never in a million years would I say Vedder. Never been a big fan of his vocals myself(I can't understand much of what he sings, lol). As for "good" baritones, Paul McCoy(I know you are familiar with his work) of 12 Stones is decent. Not great, but decent. Uh, there's also Brent Smith of Shinedown. He's a baritone who is capable of hitting the high notes(kinda similiar to Brett Hestla, except, imo, better). I could name more obscure guys, but it'd be pointless because you probably wouldn't know who they are.

Meh, I figured you would mention those guys. Nothing really particularly special about any of them.

Quote: I'm a baritone myself.....and I think Stapp is a lot more unique than most of the rock radio singers today. Even if I weren't a Creed fan, after hearing 5 seconds of a Creed or Stapp song, I'd know who was singing it. However, if I heard a Nickelback or Staind or Hoobastank or *insert cruddy rock band here* song, I wouldn't know who the heck it was. Those singers aren't unique. Stapp, imo, is. The only guy you can even compare him to(and it's really a stupid comparison) is Eddie Vedder.

I actually was listening to the radio the other day (shocking, I know) and a song came on and it sounded exactly like Stapp singing it and I was confused. I was like "Did I totally miss a song off his album?". Turns out the song was by 3 Doors Down. Stapp sounds like everyone else. Of course YOU can differentiate him... you listen to his songs all the time for a long time. I can pick him out. I have listened to his songs often. But he still sounds very generic.
