[Music] Singers who can't sing (or those whose voices you can't stand).

[carteater]

Liam Gallagher after 2001, shot to pieces. Seems to have gotten a little bit better now. But still very nasally.

Passenger, annoys me.

Tom Delonge.

Posters are simply using this thread to put the boot into people or bands, NOT up their street.

Yes. It's quite possible to acknowledge somebody is a good singer while at the same time disliking the tone or technique of their singing. Conversely you can like a singer's renditions of the songs he sings while at the same time acknowledging they either can't sing or that their singing ability is very limited.
Michael Buble and Rufus Wainwright are both very good singers but I really don't like either of their voices. Mark E Smith wasn't exactly renowned for his vocal abilities but he had the perfect voice for what he did.
Furthermore if you think someone's a complete knob (Morrissey for example) it shouldn't prevent you acknowledging that they can sing. You might not like his voice either but that doesn't mean he can't sing.

Kate Bush - can’t stand her voice. I know that this is akin to admitting that you have a second team and that that team is Palace to some, but there it is.

She can write well though.

Wonder if she’s thought of a career as a novelist...

Listening to Radio 2 this morning and they were playing a track from Elton John's new album with popstars playing covers of his song.

"And now, Lady Gaga signing Your Song".

"uh-oh", I thought.

Do you know what. I thought it was really good.

That's because you're used to hearing Elton John sing it. Did I mention that he is bad at singing?

I caught the end of it and was quite impressed that she seemed to be singing "Urine, Urine the world."

I heard AC DC on the radio this morning and it reminded me why I can’t stand them. Brian Johnson’s voice. Always sounds like his balls are in a vice.


Another who can’t sing but it works is Fish.

David Byrne (Talking Heads) - a genius but can't hold a note.
Ditto Shane McGowan (Pogues)
