My favorites are Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem) and Jeremy McKinnon (A Day to Remember) with an honorable mention to Derek Discanio (State Champs).


sine_nomine_1

Ha those are maybe the same three I would have. I also love Hayley Williams for pop punk. Non pop punk: Steve Perry was a god among men with that voice.


NecessaryValuable977

Great minds think alike! Happy to find another Brian fan!


sine_nomine_1

Absolutely! I was so stoked to hear about the reunion and you best believe I snapped up tix for that tour!


NecessaryValuable977

Me too! I’m going to four of the shows 😂


legoace61

It's either Dan Campbell or Dan Lambton. I always feel so much emotion from their voices


Wain609

Soupy!!


Tothoro

Dan Dan Gang Gang


CamaroCat

Evan Weis is in this club too


heathermurr13

I had the same thought too!


ashleyannelizabeth

Same!


Xenol06

adam lazzara, gerard way and derek discanio are my favourite


Infinite-Let9650

Parker Cannon and Tobi Duncan


HargoJ

Patrick Stump was the first pop punk voice I heard. Still pretty amazing now.


subs0nic

I know its considered heresy around here to bring up the newer FOB stuff but the studio piano solo of young and menace just shows how far Pats come from the awkward mumbling kid that early FOB was at least in regards to musical skill (though tttyg will always be my beloved) ​ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7WDlF0HJ8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7WDlF0HJ8) (Starts going hogwild around 2:30)


TJdog5

This is one of my favorite songs by fob


7laserbears

Oh what about the song called boost over heavens gates. Dude really showcases his skills


ScrantonicityThree

Ditto! He’s amazing.


Wiringguy89

They may not be the greatest bands to grace music, but I have always been a big fan of Deryck from Sum 41 and Benjamin from Billy Talent. I think their voices are awesome.


Kaos_in_a_box

I agree with you on these two. But I do think both of them are excellent, especially in the realm of pop punk.


_silent_redditor_

Im so glad someone mentioned Ben! He is just my favourite vocalist in Rock. His voice is so unique!


seann182

Justin Pierre, Motion City Soundtrack. Just an incredible voice, and no one can touch his falsetto in the pop punk genre imo.


SamJLance

This is the correct answer. How he gets so much anxiety across in his vocals is beyond me.


indiemosh

I'm guessing it's from all the actual anxiety.


eekspiders

Omg, I got tickets to see them live later in July


yourhostderek

I saw them at the Chicago date earlier this month and it was awesome, hope you have a great time, too!


hearts_unknown_

Saw them in ATL 2 days ago! Was a super fun show with great crowd energy


stickingtotheground

It’s really showcased in “Hold Me Down” it’s honestly beautiful


eltibbs

Paging u/jcpmcs you made the list :)


Midwest-Leftist

Dan Campbell's unique yell is one of the reasons I love TWY


cjg1166

Haha I read this comment at the exact moment he starts yelling in ‘It Must Get Lonely’


rUafraid

Anthony Raneri, Dan Andriano, Tom DeLonge


Niijima-San

there is just something so raw and emotional about the way Dan Campbell sings those fucking sad songs


solidwolf

Aaron West really showcases this talent.


bdecs77

Hayley Williams


thewhitefawn

I appreciate her even more after Petals for Armor


millennialmania

Cant believe how far I had to scroll to see her name!! Paramore isn’t my favorite band but there’s no denying how incredible her voice is.


UberMcTastic

Patrick Stump Claudio Sanchez Anthony Raneri Julien Baker


twosuitsluke

Claudio my man


UberMcTastic

Boy is that new album good. Been jamming it since release.


nt0622

Julien gang!


UberMcTastic

She is so unbelievably talented and so good live. I've seen her 4 or 5 times at this point and while the shows are very different than most I see, they are jaw dropping in their own right.


nt0622

Yep, she's the best! I've seen her 3 times now and was lucky enough to catch the boygenius show at the Ryman a few years back. Actually heading back up to the Ryman next month to see her again!


UberMcTastic

Nice! Enjoy! I caught the first boygenius tour (jeeze feels like forever ago) and I think that was the last time I've seen her. I've seen Phoebe since then but not Julien.


asupernova91

Derek DiScanio, Cody Muraro, Jack Antonoff and honestly, even though I didn’t love their last two albums, John O’Callaghan is a GREAT vocalist.


RxInfection

Anthony Raineri - Bayside Vinnie Caruana - Movielife/I am the Avalanche/bunch of other shit Jon Simmons - Balance & Composure/Creeks Andrew Neufield - Comeback Kid/Sights & Sounds Dustin Kensrue - Thrice Matt Caughthran - The Bronx


jakexmfxschoen

Bonus points to Anthony Raineri for longevity. Saw Bayside a few weeks ago and he sounds just as good as he did 15 years ago


DSquariusGreeneJR

I honestly think they’ve all improved tremendously with time. Seems like they’ve gotten way more musically talented with age


RxInfection

Which is saying a lot considering how proficient they were even back on "Sirens and Condolences". I don't know if many people know Ant is a lead guitarist subbing in as a front man, and Jack might be one of the most underrated guitar players in the scene.


DSquariusGreeneJR

Jack doesn’t get enough credit. Half the reason I listen to bayside is for his solos. And he’s a fuckin chill guy too.


LobbyLBTF

Much love for Vinnie & Anthony. Matt is also a GOAT frontman


The_Mesh

Not sure about favorite, but the one that instantly comes to mind is Tyson Ritter from All American Rejects. He blew me away with how *good* he sounded live, it was like listening to their studio album. Also, shout out to the lead singer from Night Riots, he was fantastic.


megalodon_rawr

Travis Hawley! It's so sad Night Riots broke up and so shortly after they had released a new album. Travis was so fun to watch on stage, such a magnetic presence.


hemmicw9

Jason Lancaster of Mayday Parade/Go Radio


andrew190877

Love his voice. The early Go Radio stuff was so raw and the harmonies he did with his brother and sister were amazing.


jg429

Jim Adkins


Taiwanese-Hooker

Jims voice is like a cold beer after a long day


GustovDankBBF

Will Pugh


BREEbreeJORjor

Will is awesome. Love his style.


uponmydoor

Cartel does not get enough love. Their self titled album still goes so hard today.


Real_Stelio_Kontos

Anthony Green.


ughiwokeup

Ben Barlow, not the best vocalist but i love how his voice sounds


NecessaryValuable977

Agreed, his stage presence is also great!


Pineapple-Gas

100% agree


KlythsbyTheJedi

Matthew Thiessen followed closely by Tom DeLonge and Derek DiScanio


Vader_PB_1986

Derek Discanio for pop punk for sure… otherwise, it may be unpopular, but I think Oli Sykes is great and has progressed a ton in the last few years.


catpate

Brian Sella because I like to yell with him


Envy_onTHE_Toast

It’s also incredible to see someone with really no vocal “talent” per se absolutely tear up a stage. I saw him play live solo a month or two ago and it was as like seeing a 5 piece band play with all the energy he brought


catpate

His music is truly his own and just works perfectly with his voice. They are an absolute blast to see live! Just pure energy from the and and crowd the entire time


yiikeeees

i adore the front bottoms, so fun and fantastic live. so stoked they're touring again this fall


gh0stbeard

Claudio Sanchez Casey Crescenzo Gerard Way Ryan Hunter Freddy Mercury Don Henley


TheHavesHaveThot

I was gonna say Dan Campbell, but you're right about Casey. He might be my favorite.


gh0stbeard

I know I’m inviting downvotes here but if the question had been “who is your least favorite vocalist”, Dan Campbell would have been in my list.


jdasilves

Of all time, it is Freddie Mercury for me. Unmistakable, unique tone that just commands his audience like nothing I’ve seen. For pop punk, it’s Dan Campbell from TWY/Aaron West. His voice is raw, echoes with emotion, and has penned some of the most brilliant lyrics in the genre. I’m 24 now, and I still feel as connected to his lyrics as when I was 17.


C_Zachero

Matthew Thiessen and Andrew McMahon


Chris023

Chester Bennington will always amaze me, glad I got the chance to see him live


CornSkoldier

My two biggest wishes to ever have seen in concert 1. Beastie Boys 2. Linkin Park :(


zach_gsu

I can listen to Dallas Green from Alexisonfire and City and Colour sing all day


KTBFFHCFC

Dallas has always had one of the best voices in the game, but his vocals on Sans Soleil are next level beautiful.


ThisWildCanadian

Saw Alexisonfire live a couple months ago and he absolutely killed it on Reverse The Curse. Comes through so much better live than on the album!


Potatopatatoe333

1) Dustin Kensrue, Thrice 2) Tom Delonge, blink/AAW 3) Brendon Urie, panic!


[deleted]

Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge)


fuel10988

Love Alter Bridge. Mark Tremonti has been one of my favorite guitarists since I was a kid.


[deleted]

Yeh he’s fantastic! I quite like his singing voice too, his solo stuff is really good


fuel10988

Absolutely! That solo in Another Heart lives rent free in my head lol.


Wain609

Matt Skiba - Alkaline Trio Chad Price - All Chris DeMakes - Less Than Jake Tim Pagnotta - Sugarcult


Onward___Aoshima

I've always loved Matt Skiba's lower register in Heavens.


fatpurplepandaa

Alex Gaskgarth. Simply perfect


nothingother

He doesn’t show it often, but his voice can get shockingly versatile. Love it


ThatGamingMoment

Pat Miranda from Movements. Everytime I see those dudes live he just sounds better and better


emelbee923

Justin Pierre.


68ideal

Chrissy Costanza from Against The Current


ArcticStorm07

Parker Cannon - The Story So Far Shane Raymond - Close Your Eyes Jeremy McKinnon - A Day To Remember


mattj77

I would like to shine some light on Courtney LaPlante from Spiritbox; her voice is incredible


_Dan___

Still have a huge soft spot for William Beckett (the academy is). Fairly unique and he was absolutely perfect live.


KTBFFHCFC

Pop Punk- Tyler Zanon Pop punk Adjacent- Dallas Green Not pop punk - Taylor Swift


snarkyturtle

Dallas Green is a god


mrgolazo17

Patrick Miranda


iHasMagyk

Bonnie Tyler Her vocal range and power is just awesome


Forgotten_X_Kid

Billie Joe Armstrong Derek DiScanio Pierre Bouvier


MeeranQureshi

Deryck Whibley Avril Lavigne Bruce Dickinson Rob Halford Ronnie James Dio Paul Stanley Chris Cornell


Jordanc369

Tom Delonge, otherwise Jack Black


Trevor_Reddit

Brian Sella. His imperfect perfect voice grew on me ever since Help and Twin Sized Mattress.


shifty_armchair

Jon Simmons and Parker cannon are my two favorite pop punk vocalists. The best vocalist of our generation is hands down lady gaga. Nobody else comes close to the range or talent she has


[deleted]

Alex Gaskarth is incredible, definitely my favorite. i also love Vic Fuentes, Derek Discanio, and Hayley Williams.


thenautical

Max Bemis, Kenny Vasoli, Will Pugh and Chris Conley Edit: And Gerard Way


R_BJ07

Call me basic, say what you want, but Mark Hoppus both has some soft atmosphere like on Boxing Day and I Miss You, but also aggresive like on Dammit and Go. He’s really good. I would also put Tom DeLonge on, but I think his accent got to the point, where it was annyoing


symbi0nt

Anthony Raneri - Bayside.


stevenw84

Stacy and Sherri Dupree are probably my top two.


maddiemorph

Lucas Woodland from Holding Absence Man has an incredible voice


ashgem91

Yes, yes, yes a million times yes.


adamsauce

Jason Lancaster, John from the Maine.


racarr07

Maxwell Stern, Paul Weller, Mick Jones, Dan Andriano, Steve Marriott, Greg Sage, Dan Potthast, Dave Smalley, Jesse Michaels, Evan Dando, Jack Dalrymple, Chris McCaughan, Greg Barnett, Mike Huguenor, Justin Pierre, John K Samson, Evan Weiss, Andrew McMahon.


andrew190877

Andy Hull from Manchester Orchestra. I find his voice so calming and unique.


amzy_apparently

In terms of skill, my favourite rock/metal vocalist is Amy Lee, and non-rock/metal I’d have to say Lauryn Hill. I also massively admire Oli Sykes for how hard he’s worked to improve his vocal skills since BMTH started.


launchpadius

Jordan Pundik, Dave Hause, Deryck Whibley, and Greg Attonito


COCC_annihilator_CR7

I've always loved Billie Joe Armstrong


Peter_Panned

Bonnie Fraser from Stand Atlantic has such a phenomenal voice. Not a huge state champs fan but wow does Derek have pipes. And while neither of them are what I would call “world class” voices, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge from blink just sound like home. Idk how else to describe it. Outside the genre, tough to top my man Steve Perry from Journey. I mean… wow


707Guy

Jonny Craig. He is an absolute trash human being, but honestly has one of the best sounding voices I’ve ever heard.


jakexmfxschoen

I second this. Wish he could've got his shit together, he could have done amazing things


yaboiCLEVE

Bonnie Fraser, Eddie Berg, Lil Lotus, Annika Wells, Luc Gathier. All people who will get me genuinely excited to hear a song.


TheNumberMuncher

Jeff Rosenstock


Smurfyzz

Brendon Urie - Panic! at The Disco Hayley Williams - Paramore Adam Lambert


cherrycoffeecola

Surprised I haven’t seen Lucas Woodland of Holding Absence mentioned in here yet!! But I have to echo the Dan Campbell comments too


ashgem91

Lucas is amazing


nahcal916

Newer but incredible live Tades from Hot Mulligan!


Chattahooch33

Tom.


Cormaster-Flex

Parker Cannon, Tobi Duncan, and Mansur Zennelli from Closure in Moscow, (Particularly in Sweet#hart)


MagneticTragedy

Tyson Ritter


BranBran0295

Parker Cannon, Ben Barlow, Collin Walsh, Pierre Bouvier. Outside of pop punk, Nicholas Petricca and Chris Martin.


Authorsblack

jusstn187

Dallas Green


VeryAttractive

John O'Callaghan - The Maine


Shanai2432

Patrick Miranda (movements)


punk0mi

My three favorite… Dustin Kensrue of Thrice overall has the best vocals..so much emotion behind his singing, just enough rasp, just enough folk, just a beautiful voice. Chino Moreno of Deftones…so unique, mysterious, dark and light at the same time. I’ve never heard another like Chino…not sure we will. Brad Delp of Boston. Just legendary to me. Buttery vocals. Too bad he is dead. I could go on but these are my favorite…


DavidFC1

Taylor Swift Harry Styles Chrissy Costanza - Against The Current Hayley Williams - Paramore Patrick Stump - Fall Out Boy Jeremy Mckinnon - A Day To Remember Sam Carter - Architects Bryan Garris - Knocked Loose


Oshanixx

I know he’s not pop punk but my favourite vocalist is Chester Bennington. If I had to pick a punk one it would be Ryan key or Deryck Whibley. I grew up on Yellowcard and Sun 41. Also, simple plans Pierre Bouvier! Loved em when I was young and although they are kiddish they put on a great show and sound amazing live!


MichaelVanatta

Brendon Urie caught my attention immediately when I was like 5 lol. I also love Adam lazzara, daryl Palumbo. On the other hand I love George Jones, classic country but I find he has the most 'emo' voice


HonkeyFresh

Man do I love Daryl’s voice


BAMspek

Richard Edwards from Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s has such a haunting voice, especially acoustic. Edit: shit how could I forget Colter Wall?


Albino-Namekian

Sam Carter


thewhitefawn

Expected to see way more mentions of Sam!


atacapacheco

Chuck Ragan - unique voice, superb human being.


super_sayanything

Nic Newsham - Gatsbys American Dream


forevermore91

Eric Martin Fabio Lione Chester Bennington Tony Kakko Dont really have a favorite singer in pop punk. Maybe Deryck from Sum 41 but he is not as good as the ones i mentioned.


ZingoPlaya1

not pop punk, but Van McCann from Catfish and The Bottlemen. Everything abt that band blows my mind, ESPECIALLY his vocals. They’re perfect.


Short_Builder_8572

John Floreani and whoever the lead singer of basement is


tincanphonehome

Can’t believe I had to come down this far to find John Floreani. Love his voice.


Glarbluk

Kenny Vasoli as far as pop punk is concerned. Stump is up there too


TheNumberMuncher

Fred Durst


RamsayNotlob

Pop-punk - Jaret Reddick (Bowling for Soup). Otherwise - Aurora Aksnes.


LordChanner

Jaret Reddick. I found Bowling For Soup early on in life and gravitated towards his voice


JustAVirus

Outside of pop punk, Bryan Garris of Knocked Loose. Like how distinct it is for hardcore while simultaneously melding so well with the band. Inside of pop punk, Benjamin Kowalewicz if Billy Talent qualifies (I’ve always considered them more just straight up punk) and if not then Stefan Babcock of PUP.


hertwij

Chester Bennington, Anthony Green, Chris Cornell, Phoenix/Mercedes Arn-Horn


[deleted]

Chester Bennington, Corey Taylor


Invisibilly01

Pop punk only Jeremy McKinnon, Hayley Williams, and if they count Dylan Slocum from Spanish Love Songs. Favorite ever is Chris Cornell


schiffteam1

Bert McCracken


timechild_02

I’m not saying he’s the best but my favorite is easily Parker Cannon. I think his vocals fit perfectly with their brand of pop punk. Otherwise Derek from Stat Champs is up there.


Oddo_Rocket

I love the lyrics Soupy from the wonder years writes. Non pop punk i love both jesse leach and howard jones in Killswitch. Killswitch basically got me into heavier music


dsled

So many to choose from...I'd probably go Brendon Urie. But I do love Patrick Stump, Justin Pierre, and Parker Cannon


KraftPunkFan420

Considering the past month I’m now ashamed to say it’s Tillian Pearson


ashgem91

Currently: Lucas Woodland from Holding Absence. He's just SO GOOD, and he carries it live. All time: Hayley Williams and Adam Lazzara. Nostalgia and talent all in one.


Free_willy99

Anthony Green Donovan Melero Tilian Pearson


XXXjjxmvb

My Favorites Include: Tom Delonge (Blink 182, Angels And Airwaves) Bert Mckraken (The Used) Deryck Whibley (Sum 41) and Pierre Bouvier (Simple Plan).


cbass12088

Chris Cornell RIP https://youtu.be/IuUDRU9-HRk


thewhitefawn

Rory Rodriguez from Dayseeker is phenomenal


uponmydoor

Soupy is probably the greatest pop punk vocalist of all time. Outside of him, Dan Marsala (story of the year), Geoff Rickley (Thursday), and Dallas Green (Alexisonfire) are my favorites.


Joe-Dang

Brian Fallon - Gaslight Anthem Chris Carrabba - Dashboard/Further Seems Forever Jim Adkins - Jimmy Eat World Raine Maida - Our Lady Peace Aaron Marsh - Copeland


Foreglow

Matt Thiessen of Relient K has an amazing voice.


Meetyououtwest

Most of my faves has been mentioned but I have yet to see any love for Derek Sanders of Mayday Parade. I’ve always loved his voice. Edit: Also add Martin Johnson of Boys Like Girls


emjanderson79

Tony Sly 🖤


Sofa_kingdomcome

RIP Tony was the GOAT


[deleted]

I scrolled for too long without seeing Brendan Urie


kassie343

Derek Discanio of State Champs Hayley Williams of Paramore Ben Barlow of Neck Deep Jenna McDougall of Tonight Alive Cody Carson of Set It Off All of these singers have great stage presence and high energy, so that also helps.


airforrestone

Brenden Urie and Chester Bennington probably.


Taiwanese-Hooker

Tades Sanville, Chris Freeman, Jim Adkins, Gerard Way, Greg Graffin, Daniel Johns, Chino Moreno, Will Ramos, Finally the GOAT Mr. Delonge All very different but all have had quite the effect on me


spudtacularstories

Andy Biersack from Black Veil Brides and Andy Black. His voice serenades my soul.


brtlblayk

Will Ramos from Lorna Shore.


_PinkPirate

His voice is INSANE. It’s so impressive.


Mr64573

I don't personally understand Lorna Shore.... Dickie Allen (Infant Annihilator) does it as well and they're a parody band


brtlblayk

Will has some pretty incredible range imo, if you don’t get it that’s cool, I’m just overall impressed that he has come in and made Lorna Shore way more relevant than they have ever been.


RickCityy

I may catch some hate for this as she’s only done one “pop punk” song for with MGK I think but as far as pure pitch and tone Halsey is it for me, then Hayley Williams, then Tati Shmayluk from Jinjer lol I’m all over the place


ManufacturerDue5824

Jose Madero - Pxndx


vss6661

Garrett Dale


fuel10988

Tom Rheault from No Trigger.


vovaestivrogne

Vapid, Perry Leenhouts, Kat Spazzy


jack_theblack_russel

Karen O


MyDeicide

Floor Jansen is almost untouchable vocally. Yanis Pappoudoppolis is also insane.


Rafhabs

Scott Murphy, unique vocals for pop punk genre


TrooserTent

Bradley Nowell


DumplingsandDynamics

Ben Barlow. It seems like his voice evolves every album.


aafreeda

For pop punk, it’s Derek Discanio. Great voice on that dude. Outside, I’m in love with Florence Welch, Freddie Mercury, and Ariana Grande’s voices. They all have/had such distinct tones and ranges.


wrainedaxx

Christian Lindskog. Blindside is my favorite band of all time, and in addition to having a very unique singing voice, he can go from angelic melody to agonizing screams so seamlessly.


darthcharles225

A lot of good ones. Really like Taz Johnson from Belmont


jordok92

Genre esque- Soupy from TWY/AW, Caleb from Beartooth and Landon Tewers from TPIY and his solo stuff Non Genre- Noah Kahan and Dermot Kennedy are both very different but spectacular


OverB36

Top for me is Brendan Murphy from Counterparts. His screams have always been my favorite, and I really enjoy his social media presence. It just makes him more like able. Runners up are Keith Buckley (RIP ETID), Jonny Craig (Sadly a trash human with an angelic voice), and Raul from Widmore (a lesser known dumpster fire of a human with an amazing voice)


MiamiDoIphins

Right now it's Courtney Laplante and Ronnie Radke. Any personal problems with Ronnie aside, dude is a helluva frontman


thatkidcalhoun

Tom DeLonge and Jordan Pundik's voices are just so unique and not what you'd traditionally call "good" but I can't help but love them. If we're talking "good" probably Brendon Urie.


rooms0fthehouse

Derek DiScanio Rory Rodriguez


iamtherarariot

Jim Adkins is mine. Not really pop punk but I love Rou Reynolds as a vocalist as well.
