{Heavy singing Pat}

1:34 to 1:50 and then skip to 2:10 and stop at 2:37 because nobody cares about the actual instrumnets in a Pat Benatar song. I think this counts as like heavy singing

{Rhett exchanges pleasantries }

:10 to :56 but I shall not attempt to stop from going further it just isn't rhett after that. You could fall asleep to his singing but I wouldn't suggest it because of what follows.

{Best Distorted/Harsh/Heavy singing - Alexi Laiho}What we have here is a category Alexi Laiho might actually do well in, since thoroughly distorted vocals has basically been his entire career as an extreme metal frontman. From Children of Bodom's cover of "Bed of Nails", originally by Alice Cooper, Alexi goes between distorted melodies and impenetrable harsh vocals. He manages to pull that monstrous false cord distortion down into his mid-range, belt comfortably up to G4 in the chorus, and then switch into full extreme metal mode, layering screams and growls over the unexpected blast beat outro. Not the most accessible thing you'll ever here, but for consistent and thick distortion, it does just that from beginning to end.
1:49-3:49 (but you can skip the guitar/keys licks from 2:29-2:39)

{Most Pleasant Tone - George Formby}George being affably naive with some pre-war crooning.
