I'm not into squeaky helium voices.

Hm. Not sure I know what you mean. Really beautiful and very melodic voice. To each their own I guess.

Modern oasis with Liam at live shows.

Oh, I thought of a good one... the Fuckemos. I kinda like the low-pitched voice but not over the course of a whole album haha.

She sounds like a cartoon character to me.
Their drummer is great, though.

I always found Deerhoof's music to be very cartoony (in a good way.) The vocals are fitting, if you ask me.

They remind me of the fellows in your signature. Albeit not as good.

I dunno, one of my favorite genres of music is J-Pop, so I guess her voice doesn't strike me as anything too squeaky or annoying.

I just thought of the perfect one.. TORA! TORA! TORRANCE! Pissy, noisey, mean, slashing, creative fast college rock with two sharp contrasting guitars, an amazing rhythm section.. just really a great, high-energy band. With the worst vocalist I've EVER HEARD. EVER.

Limp Bizkit. I don't care what anyone says. The bassist/drummer/guitarist of this band really had something special going on. Even though the band sucks, if you pay attention musically, there's a lot of interesting riffs and such... certainly moreso than most mainstream bands. But Fred Durst is terrible.

I love the Black Eyes.

Few are. :cool:

In Reverse surely? The songs are average but Liam is a really good singer.

Anyway, too few bands realise that being technically good musically should not have to extend to your singer, i hate it when the vocals on an otherwise decent rock song are given the studio sheen treatment in order to be passable for radio; See The Killers or Maximo Park.

I really like his timbre as it's pretty unique. He's indeed a bad singer in the sense that he's nearly always out of tune live.

The Beatles when Ringo sings :D

Joy Division.

Ian's timbre is beautiful but I guess that on a technical level the voice is very far from perfect.

Neil Young. He kinda has a duck voice but that doesn't prevent it from being moving on his best songs.

Television. Verlaine is far from great technically (on the vids you can see how he struggles in order to sing as best as he can), but his voice suits the music.

I think this thread is about vocalists whose voices can ruin the music, not vocalists who don't have technically good voices, but still fit in with the music.

she does a great national anthem, and she sings the great songs anyway
but yeah think you're right
an over the top preaching Jim Morrison can still irritate me

Exactly, Death and the Maiden.

I should have called it "good bad, shitty VOCALIST".

Or "shitty frontman"
