71 - Corey Taylor - Slipknot / Stone Sour
hopefully I don’t lose everyone with back to back Nu-Metal entries. While Slipknot is somewhat of a gimmick band, Corey has one of the most versatile voices in metal
He’s much more subdued and clean on some of his Stone Sour tracks like
Through Glass or a cover of
Wicked Game (Chris Isaak does not appear on this list despite that song being an absolute banger)
I’m not sure there’s a better combination of rap / screaming out there than their debut album
Slipknot (this one is just simply too good to try and pick a few favorites from)
as far as raw emotion goes, check out
Iowa which Corey recorded “completely naked, vomiting all over himself, and cutting himself with broken glass”
