Songs with distorted vocals? (electronic, rock, album, beatles, pink floyd)

maedhros2 · 12-31-2008, 02:05 AM

I'm looking for songs that feature heavy electronic vocal distortion or vocoding, such as King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" or Foetus' "Time Marches On." At the most extreme, I'm looking for something so distorted as to be unintelligible. Any suggestions?

as for distorted vocals best example i can think of is Six Finger Satellite and Fantomas. Mastodon also has lots of good distorted vocals too.

One common distorted vocal effect one of many recording techniques the Beatles music influenced as innovated by Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick via John Lennon request. John Lennon's voice was processed through a Leslie speaker for the highly experimental song "Tomorrow Never Knows" on The Beatles' 1966 album Revolver. The Beatles also used George Harrison's Leslie-processed vocals on the song "Blue Jay Way" on their 1967 album Magical Mystery Tour.

In the 1970s, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd passed both his vocal mic and his guitar through a Leslie on early live versions of "Any Colour You Like" and sung along to the solo as he played it, and Ozzy Osbourne sang through a Leslie speaker on the song "Planet Caravan" on Black Sabbath's 1970 breakthrough album Paranoid.

Jon Anderson of Yes sang vocals through a Leslie on "Astral Traveller" from the band's second album, Time and a Word.

Jerry Garcia's voice was processed through a Leslie Speaker on the song "Rosemary" from the Grateful Dead album Aoxomoxoa.

Led Zeppelin used Leslie processing on Robert Plant's vocals in the song "What Is and What Should Never Be" from their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II.

Matt Bellamy uses a Leslie speaker for Muse's song "Yes Please"

Alan Parson Project's "The Raven" from the debut Tales of Mystery & Imagination is the first rock song to use a vocoder.
