Top 10 Rob Halford vocal performances
1. “Here Come The Tears”/”Dissident Aggressor” — These two Sin After Sin songs need to be listened to as a combo. From the melancholic buildup of “Tears” to the maddening angst of “Aggressor,” the listening experience covers a masterful vocal gamut. The whole experience truly transcends. It is the ultimate Halford experience.
Well compiled list. Glad you chose to leave off some of the later stuff where he’s pretty much screaming and screeching throughout. You mostly chose songs where he showed the whole range vocally and emotionally. 35 years after I first heard it, Run of the Mill still give me chills. My only minor bone to pick? You left off Dreamer Deceiver which I think could replace about any of the other choices except ROTM. Listen closely to the multi-tracking of his voice at the end of the track before it breaks into Deceiver. He’s tracked at least 6 times, and each is unique. He’s choir and soloist with some glass-shatteringly high stuff. Cheers.
I second Run of the Mill
You left off dreamer/deceiver? Possibly the greatest song ever?
Robert Halford has given me much understanding.
