12 Best Hard Rock Singers Of The 1990s
7. Mike Patton - Faith No More
When it comes to the greatest bands of the 90's, people don't bring up Faith No More as often as they should. Across each record, the band created a unique blend of sounds that encompassed funk, metal, and balladry into one beautiful concoction. While each musician was responsible for making this mix possible, the band wouldn't be half of what they were if not for Mike Patton.
During his time with Faith No More, Patton proved to have one of the most versatile eclectic in the business, as he switched up styles without batting an eye. On tracks like "Epic" and "Midlife Crisis," the dude could go from laying down a 80's style hip-hop flow to carrying a tune for the chorus. Even on the band's cover of "Easy" by the Commodores, Patton's singing voice is incredibly smooth than you might expect out of a rocker.
The actual sound of Patton's voice is great, but the technical skill behind his singing is what puts him on another level. In the realm of popular music, Patton's voice is one of the most versatile thanks to his range, which spans up to six octaves. Even if you aren't sold on Faith No More's hits, Patton has done more with his voice than most singers could hope to accomplish in a lifetime.
