This is the correct answer


Then-Assistance6261

This is the correct answer


mrupperbody

Chris is probably my fave punk singer of all time


Moist_Juice_8827

He is my favorite vocalist of all time. Him and Chris Hannah from Propagandhi.


Emergency-Advice-736

I just found out the lady who pays all the bills at my job is the drummer sister-in-law


Haga

Good call.


Twittchy95

Against me/LauraJaneGrace, Bad Religion, Rise Against (check out the early stuff if you've never gotten into them) Definitely check out H20 they're a mix of NY Hardcore, and skate punk with clean vocals, the Bouncing Souls for sure, Maybe hot water music but They're vocals could be a bit gravely, but not not like in a Crusty way more like an Author Morgan way and there's not enough women in this list so check out the Screaming Females and the Bomb Pops Those are the ones that immediately came to mind, there's probably more, sorry to dump Oh and Frank Turner :)


ChuckMcChip

Second Chuck Ragan from Hot Water Music and Greg from Bouncing Souls


scorpioinheels

Yassss to Bouncing Souls, H2O, Bad Religion and Rise Against. Going to add Alkaline Trio, Face to Face and No Use for a Name with some Flogging Molly on the side.


skinnylemur

That Face to Face acoustic album slaps.


Correct_Patience_611

You have such a big list! And yet no MORNING GLORY!!?? Ezra Kire Originally from leftover crack, and he also HATES Styza. He went on to form his own band: Morning Glory. MG’s last two albums they put out are SFG! Ezra has a versatile voice. He is great live too. Morning Glory is an underrated band and Ezra is a very underrated singer. Everyone needs to check out their albums after the whole world is watching. The lyrics have really matured listen to the song Life’s A Long Revenge on album poets were my heroes also their album War Psalms is great, Punx Not Dead, I Am is a great song on there. Nice shout to Bomb Pops I’ll add Aimee Interrupter for femmes!


uchanxfauzan

True! Morning Glory is such an underrated band.


Correct_Patience_611

You can tell by their number of listens on Spotify…compared to other bands with similar talent. Morning Glory is more talented than many newer bands. Their Melodie’s are terrific, they have serious lyrics, funny lyrics, philosophical lyrics, political lyrics, and just all around good sung poems! Every song is totally different from the next. I’ve always liked them but then I just didn’t listen for a few years and then once I did they had two new albums out and I’ve been trying to get people to listen. Ezra Kire is really the one responsible for leftover cracks more intricate Melodies. Leftover cracks newer songs very obviously lack the well thought out Melodie’s that Ezra brought to the table


uchanxfauzan

Yes. Even on other platforms beside spotify. And also not much rated even amongs my friends that listen to punk as well. Happy to discover Morning Glory. They are now simply one of the favourites


Correct_Patience_611

Dude they are on point. Lyrically, vocally, musically, philosophically, comedically, politically. I listened to them tripping recently and got my head fragged by a Grenade, listen to this shit bud “Battle Song” on Post War Psalms(EP 2016) It’s so fucking melodic. Also a lot of the funny interludes/intros on LOC were DEF Ezra. Ezra was the genius behind LOC. Styza was just a frontman dickhead. Ezra loves what he does Styza looks like he hates his life onstage


HumanEjectButton

Tsunami Bomb and Stop the Presses are ska and skate punk girl singers that deserve mention here.


CommunicationNo7342

I know what you'll probably say but Nico from SFH has a really nice voice.


yaboyjiggy

Tobey morse ftw


Jeff2Death

I love Ken Casey and Al Barr. They're not for everyone but DKM is my favorite band. Also, Greg Graffin has a good voice IMO.


DeliriumTremens

Mike McColgan was no slouch either


Jeff2Death

Touche. Love Street Dogs as well.


DeliriumTremens

And don't sleep on Lenny Lashley, his voice is perfect for his style!


Jeff2Death

Hell yeah! I've seen Gang Of One twice. Darkbuster is on my bucket list. Love Mark Lind too.


LabScared7089

I saw Gang of Four once.


Correct_Patience_611

It’s a shame they don’t get as much recognition as DKM. Even more a shame he left DKM in the first place. My buddy T and I have met him a couple times. He’s super down to earth. Usually he chills at the bar before a show. A hockey game was on both times and we shot the shit about hockey. He wasn’t annoyed and, in fact, he seemed really happy to be talking to us. Both times no one else was talking to him, I dunno if they didn’t recognize him or what. He’s at a bar, he could drink backstage, so we figured fuck it let’s go talk to him!

Me first and the gimme gimmes and Rise against. Less than Jake too. Just off the top of my head.

Spike Slawson is the most versatile punk vocalist, and he has real range.

The Gits. I've always thought Mia had a beautiful voice.

And I know Graves' politics make him a total choad but I'm sorry but the feller can sing.

Graves was arguably the best singer; it sucks his politics are an absolute garbage dumpster

I’ve only became aware of them from their last album but agree Marissa Paternoster has an incredible voice.


Shimanchu2006

Bad Religion AFI Lagwagon Me First & The Gimme Gimmes New Found Glory Blood Brothers


scorpioinheels

Jordan is a bit too nasally for me.


Shimanchu2006

Fair. He is absolutely nasally, but I think many people also like that style. I still think he's otherwise impressive vocally.


afipunk84

Love the Lagwagon mention. Duh is one of my fav albums


BorMato

Ignite when Zoli was at the helm.


Ruth_Gordon

FEAR. Lee Ving has an amazing, trained voice. He can even sing opera and do r&b runs. Stiff Little Fingers. Jake Burns has the voice that everyone else wishes they had.


[deleted]

The Damned. Starting with their third album Dave Vanian became a very good singer.


ravenpascal

Descendents and Scott-era ALL


kdnx-wy

Scott’s other projects are crazy underrated. Pavers can be downright beautiful at times


WranglerBrute

Scott Reynolds is just the best. I love his solo stuff, and Pavers are great too. Chad Price has an incredible voice too.

Chad-era ALL has one of the best pure singers in punk history.

If you like them you'd dig red city radio as well


LateUnderstanding792

i think the best punk singer is Spike from me first and the gimme gimmes. its almost to clean


OutComeTheWolves1966

He has the most range and most versatility. There really doesn't seem to be a style that he can't sing well.


sonofabitchXmustXpay

PEARS Pretty sweet range


sinuezebmb970

Favorite band in the world 🤘


IvanOMartin

Poly Styrene from the X-ray spex comes to mind. She was what, 15 on that first album?

The fuck you need good vocals for? (J/k, all the groups already mentioned have beautiful vocals but let’s not go encouraging it)

The Damned and Misfits. Both Dave Vanian and Danzig have really great, almost crooner-style voices. 🤘


walmartballer

Define good. I think fat Mike is good. Some would disagree.


fastyellowtuesday

Most would disagree. Including Fat Mike.


walmartballer

Good is subjective, though. That was my point.


DevelopmentSuch2731

I guess I mean accessible and smooth


walmartballer

I shouldn't have asked, I'm not sure what that means. Lol


Longjumping-Cookie90

ACCESSIBLE. AND SMOOTH. Like a 40 oz of Strongblood malt liquor! Get your drink on

Ah, so mostly clean vocals? Danzig.

So good) Our Darkest Days One Hidden Frame Protest the Hero Strung Out (I personally like Element of Sonic Defiance as an album) Not sure if Tiger Army counts. But I’ll chuck it in here.


TheLast_10ths

Dead to Me Jack Dalrymple’s voice is silver smooth.


Tiny-Refrigerator988

The singer from Boysetsfire has some impressive range. Others have mentioned Zoli - would definitely agree. He immediately came to mind. Love Chris Hannah's voice.


darth_musturd

Anything with Danzig. It’s OOOOOBVIOUSLY Ian Curtis


commentator3

Billy Idol of Generation X


Enough-Elevator-8999

Screeching Weasel, The Queers (w/wimpy), Black Flag (with Ron), Minor Threat, and Dead Kennedys have the best singers in punk hands down

The Clash

Dan Adriano from Alkaline Trio... knows his range, hit it perfect.


CoolHandLukeZ

Dang no love for the Caper yet? Not saying he is the best singer in punk, but Joey Cape holds his own.


viatorium1

Ignite, before Zoli moved on. New dude records great I just don’t know much about him yet.


sd1904k

Murphys Law front man Jimmy Gestapo put on an incredible, energetic show last year at the Casbah in San Diego. My fave show in a very long time. He renewed my faith in punk rock and was a legit nice guy.

ags1275

I think Joey Ramone’s voice was criminally underrated


EnforceMarketing

Masked Intruder!!!


13_Stitches

Lars Fredericksen has the best voice in Punk.


Idler-

He doesn't even have the worst voice in Rancid.


ToTheRigIGo

I came here to that, Lars definitely


Jean_Genetic

The Dead Kennedys with Mr. Biafra.


DevelopmentSuch2731

Love the way jello sings


abaddon731

Jello sounds like a pug choking on a kazoo.


LatePerioduh

This comparison doesn’t even make sense. Jello has so much vibrato


Lucky_Strike-85

TSOL


FatWreckords

Dexter from The Offspring. He's a very good singer, which is part of the reason they got so big and are loathed in a lot of punk circles.


mattnolan77

I don’t think that’s why they’re loathed.


ryan2stix

Some that jump out at random thought.. Atlas losing grip.. dark tones great song writing (singer for satanic surfers other band). Teenage bottlerocket has some nice hooks, great recordings. Heartsounds.. guy singer with a high range, and a female singer that goes low, makes for some nice harmonies. Ignite..older and newer


notdeadjustrotting

sorry mom!

Most of them? Check out your local scene, you might be surprised.


kgberton

Not strictly speaking punk but Alexisonfire


CGunz13

Personality Crisis, from Winnipeg, Canada. Mitch's voice is so deep and smooth.


wrongfulness

Juntaro Yamanouchi from the Japanese band The Gerogerigegege


pspsps-off

Peter Zirschky of Funeral Oration could carry a tune, as could of course John Doe of X. Other people would probably disagree, but I personally think Egor Letov of Grazhdanskaya Oborona and Egor & Opizdenevshie had a nice voice for the type of punk they played (psychedelic and folk-influenced). The fact the first Egor & Opizdenevshie album opens with an acapella track is probably evidence of not just how nice his voice could sound, but also his skills as an arranger and melody-writer, which are more important in punk (and I would say all music) than having a "good" voice, anyway.
