I can't remember where I read it but Thurston has said that Lee is the actual 'musician' out of the pair - the one who grew up listening to the Dead and Dylan and Neil Young and all that. Thurston was a noise no-wave fuckabout or something so saying that Lee writes the melodies and Thurston the skronky weird shit is probably right (for the most part anyhow).
I thought that Thurston can't write a vocal melody to save his life was so well acknowledged as to be a kinda fan in joke... and also agree on the point about Lee shouting - he has a cool singing voice but sometimes overdoes the shouty bits.
