Listening to Slipknot right now. There's a ton I like though.

Still remember getting up and buying this:
http://youtu.be/2_ELM0LyQLI (http://youtu.be/2_ELM0LyQLI)
"Sentry the Defiant", and "The Hard Sell" by Coheed and Cambria
http://youtu.be/Pmsua-OLY_8
Drive by Incubus
"Build God, then we'll talk", "But it's better if you do", "I write sins not tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco
Used to love screaming along to Child in Time by Deep Purple when i had the pipes.
...or the story of how i blew out my voice at an early age.
Clutch. God, just about anything by Clutch. God, Neil Fallon has such a sexy deep voice, and I hate the fact that I can sing in his range. But, damn, if I'm gonna, it might as well be him.
My faves are these:
The Mob Goes Wild: http://youtu.be/Z78PjvfCVTQ (http://youtu.be/Z78PjvfCVTQ)
Mice and Gods: http://youtu.be/Cs9y2fw1ja8 (http://youtu.be/Cs9y2fw1ja8)
Soapmakers: http://youtu.be/sveqshG0ZHQ (http://youtu.be/sveqshG0ZHQ)
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin (aaaahhh haaaaaa haaaaaa HAAAAAAAA)
Golden Slumbers - The Beatles
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin (getting better at imitating Robert Plant's famous banshee scream)
Florentine Pogen - Frank Zappa
I used to sing low too, but i prefer singing mid to high.
Almost the entire catalogue - The Beatles
There was one song that i sang to sound more manly in denial, even: The Torture Never Stops - Frank Zappa (a dark, moody, weird track with low, low voice) Wasn't very satisfying.
Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin
When i am able to:
The middle part of Child In Time - Deep Purple
There are many, but top three I think would be...
- "Only The Strong" by Flaw
- "Lonely Boy" by The Black Keys
- "The Blister Exists" by Slipknot
In no particular order. :P
Pretty much anything by Poets of the Fall. |D Although I'm raping the songs compared to their vocalist (his voice is ear porn).
Anything by A Day To Remember or Breaking Benjamin.
Sometimes, I like to sing along to Imagine Dragons, Owl City, and the occasional Eminem, but because I can't sing, I usually get hit with something or stop myself to avoid embarassment ;L
Anything by Arch Enemy, particularly from the "Wages of Sin" album. Still amazed that's a lady singer.
- Heart of Darkness -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlW65C7xAzA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlW65C7xAzA)
I like old Bleeding Through as well.
- Love Lost in a Hale of Gunfire -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G841df0G-CM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G841df0G-CM)
Old A7X is good too.
- Second Heartbeat -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n7xsR8T-Ac (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n7xsR8T-Ac)
If I'm just looking to sing along with something a bit more mellow, I gravitate towards The Smiths. (too lazy to find links)
- I Want The One That I Can't Have
- Frankly Mr. Shankly
- Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
- Shoplifters of the World Unite
Anyything by Coal Chamber, Slipknot, Soil Work, Soil, Cradle of filth, Miss May I, The Devil Wears Prada,
Rain, smile electric and a couple others by 40 Below Summer
American Head Charge
Mudvayne LD40
Chimera
Mushroomhead
Otep
Walls of Jericho
Basically any hardcore, nu metal and speed metal....my list gets too long lol.
Before both overuse & puberty ruined my voice i used to sing and scream along to these:
Child In Time (my voice didn't crack even once)
Strange Kind Of Woman (i had memorized the WHOLE guitar/vocal duel and was screaming along to it) ("Oh my soul, i love you AHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!")
Highway Star ("nobody gonna take my car, i'm gonna race it to the ground!")
Space Truckin' ("come on, come on, come on, let's go space truckin', come on")
Lucille
Fireball ("golden light above you shows me where you're from.....")
Speed King ("I'm a speed king, you gotta hear me sing, i'm a speed king, see me flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!")
Bloodsucker ("got a black breast chinese eyes, got an english brain that's gonna make me wise")
Mistreated (the fast coda with the really high screams)
Smoke On The Water
Lazy
Burn ("you know we had no time, we could not even try, you know we had no TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE", or in the live versions: "tie,hie,hie,howwwwww!")
You Keep On Moving
Never Before (i loved singing harmony to the "i was hurt when i was younger" part)
Woman from Tokyo ("my woman from to-kay-o, she makes me see!")
Mary Long ("how did you lose your virginity, Mary Long? When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?)
Mitzi Dupree (by the time i discovered that song (2008) my voice was at its worst though. I mean, it is bad now, but there's a good reason i stopped recording almost entirely for a while)
The Unwritten Law (see "Mitzi Dupree")
Montana (loved singing the bridge sung by the Ikettes on the studio recording "I'm plucking the old dental floss that's growing on the prairie" No wonder i don't have any trouble with unusual rhythms!)
Cosmik Debris (the Ikettes bridge, Frank's voice was too low at the time "I wrapped the newspaper 'round my head so i looked like i was deep")
Flakes (this one i can still sing without trouble "They don't do no good, they never be workin' when they oughta should")
T*tties and Beer (i once had the dialogue between Frank and the devil memorized i think, but i don't know for sure)
Hush
Mandrake Root
Kentucky Woman
Black Night
Rock And Roll ("it's been a long time since i rock and rolled.....")
I'm In Love With My Car
Over The Hills And Far Away (my voice was back for a brief time in 2009 when i discovered Led Zeppelin)
Dazed And Confused
Bron-Yr-Aur-Stomp
The Mighty Quinn (my favorite song as a child)
The Long And Winding Road
Keep Yourself Alive
The Ocean (Led Zeppelin, not Against Me!, although that one is good too)
Gallows Pole
"Herr Mannelig" which is a Swedish ballad, but I like the version by In Extremo.
"Armageddon" by Unheilig
Lots of others, but those are the first two that spring to mind.
Anything pretty much by Queen.
The obvious one is Bohemian Rhapsody, but I can't help singing along to this one. It's one of my favourites. Moreso now.
Queen - 'Who Wants To Live Forever' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jtpf8N5IDE#)
The Rolling Stones - Get Off of My Cloud (1967) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3F4GmbHl5g#)
I think I am the reincarnation of Mick Jagger.
You say he's not dead yet?? Could have fooled me.
The Road to Babylon - Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Advance Romance (fits my range perfectly) - Frank Zappa
City of Tiny Lights - Frank Zappa
Mother People
Mom and Dad - the Mothers
Going to California
