There are a list of Silent Hill songs with vocals by the lovely Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (sometimes credited as "Melissa Williamson") with her beautiful voice. The composer of the beautiful Silent Hill music is Akira Yamaoka. Some of these songs are written by others (for example, Joe Romersa wrote the lyrics for "I want Love"). On many places like YouTube, iTunes, and many others give all the credit to Akira Yamaoka who is the composer. Shouldn't Mary Elizabeth McGlynn be credited as the artist or do I have it backwards? I would ask my awesome favorite music teacher sense she knows a lot about music but it's been nearly 4 years since I last talked with her. x_x So anyway, I hope you guys get what Im saying. Who should be given credit for these songs? Elizabeth McGlynn? or Akira Yamaoka?

Just look the songs up on the Silent Hill wiki. Tells you pretty much everything you need to know. But for a more direct answer, I think anyone who contributed to the songs should be the one given credit, but if you mean like, who'd be considered the artist for the songs, I'd say Akira Yamaoka.
