Couldn't agree more. Maybe you'll appreciate the Flat Duo Jets, my personal favourite band.Pararaptor said:

As long as it isn't shit or out of place.
There are a lot of great examples of screaming and growling, like Opeth. But there are a lot of horrible examples as well, like pretty much every teenage metal band. Its a situational thing, I'm not going to dismiss a band because they have screaming, but I'm going to be wary, because if you suck at it it'll bring the whole band down.

I like the old fashioned Hair Metal Scream, anything more than that is a little much for me and I really can't take growling.
I started tolerating and sometimes enjoying guttural voices when I got into:
Haggard
and Eluveitie
Also, I don't mind "harsh" vocals at all.
As for screams: I could mention Björk, Aerosmith, but I'll just say this:
Won't Get Fooled Again. YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

[HEADING=2]Did someone say screaming/growling/singing?[/HEADING]
Fuck yeah, Disarmonia Mundi!
Yeah..I loves teh screams.
I don't really like the whole squeeling, screaming, growling noises no.
I like crazy angry sounding voices though.

Sorry. I can't help but tip the hat to brief yet fairly profound statements.
I like power in my music, so someone who can scream musically is great. Magali Luyten, Matt Shadows, Rob Halford, and, yes, Roger Daltrey, are gods in this regard:
What's especially great is when a screaming vocalist can suddenly turn around and start singing with a very smooth, melodic tone. Which all of the above singers can do, although some of the videos don't show that.
On the other hand, I can't stand the growling. Mark Jansen just completely ruins Epica for me...*sigh*

Eloquent, but not really accurate. Just watch some of those videos and tell me you could do what they're doing.-Zen- said:
I suppose it wholly depends. Broadly speaking I don't like bands who just scream/growl/cookie monster/whatever through song after song. Gets old very quickly, and I'm the kind of person who likes to understand what the hell is being sung.
That said, I do not object to a scream or a growl (maybe) if done to add an extra edge to the song, every now and then.

I take it on a case by case basis. For example, I love Avenged Sevenfold's music, but I hate his scream.
It totally depends on the singer or mood of the music.
I can't imagine something really angry being sung harmoniously.
Although, if the singer/growler/whatever has a annoying voice it can turn me off straight away.
It also helps if the band/song utilises both, such as Mid-era Bleeding through or Scar Symmetry.
For a great voice, see Mike Patton. That man is a vocal god.
