MindCrime Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 Who do you think has the worst voice ever or is just an all-around terrible singer? My picks 1. Randy Newman 2. Joe Cocker 3. Tom Jones
chutzpah Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 Yoko Ono...I like John Lennon and stuff but... Yoko's voice gives me a rash
BlueAngel Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 Scott Stapp (Creed), Eddie Vedder caricature Johnny Rotten, don't get me wrong I like punk, and his voice fits in the context of his music, but technically gifted he is not.
Otokichi Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Google! "Tiny Tim" and (if you dare!) audition some of his off-key screeching. MindCrime's terrible trio sound positively angelic compared to Herbert Khaury by numerous Kilometers.
pinkstones Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Neil Young. His voice just sounds so whiny and nasally to me sometimes.
CanAm Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Leonard Cohen (This man has absolutely NO vocal ability. He talks or growls his way through his grossly overrated songs.) Gord Downey of the Tragically Hip. His voice could send someone contemplating suicide completely over the edge. Sting - Whiny, whiny, whiny!!! The cretin from Motorhead, Lemmy or something!!!
Lucky Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Geddy Lee's voice is horrible. I can't listen to Rush strictly on the basis of his voice. I agree with Sting too.
MindCrime Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Posted June 16, 2009 I'll probably get criticized for this, but Janis Joplin. She screeches more than actual singing.
Lucky Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 No, I know what you mean. She didn't have a good voice as in technically good, or beautiful .... she had an expressive, emotional voice, made for rock & roll, or the blues. In my mind a lot like Bob Dylan, or Leon Russell.
Farin Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Billy Corgan hurts my ears. b-f posted this once: Billy Corgan on a search
c_s_1987 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Originally I didn't mind him, but now Chad Kroeger is definitely my least favourite vocalist.
chutzpah Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Alright, I'll agree about Geddy Lee's voice and Lemmy's too...but...What would Rush or Motorhead sound like without those voices,I mean, the rest of the band(s) are or is pretty good musically... and, Tiny Tim (omg) that's awful...never liked Sting but a good bass player...and that guy from Smashing Pumpkins voice is really sort of flat...
Pattie Lennon Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 There are some good (bad) ones on here, especially Leonard Cohen. Love his songs. Hate his voice. I think I'll add Michael Jackson to the list. Highly over-rated and he just grates on me vocally. I think if he might stop with all the vocal gestures, it would be much more tolerable.
GypsyRoad Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 1. Yoko Ono 2. Tiny Tim 3. Neil Young 4. The lead singer for Rush 5. Janis Joplin sometimes
mpdsmom Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Belinda Carlisle, ICK!!! Warbler extraorinaire!!! Not that I listen to her...but when her solo stuff came out years ago, that's all that was played on "soft" stations.....(cringe)... Bob Dylan, GREAT songwriter, HORRIBLE singer!!! Lead singer from the band that did "Goin to the Country" (can't remember the band name, sorry! It's a 60's band and song ), sounds EXACTLY like Kermit the Frog!
Farin Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Lead singer from the band that did "Goin to the Country" (can't remember the band name, sorry! It's a 60's band and song ), sounds EXACTLY like Kermit the Frog! "Going up the Country" is by Canned Heat, but this particular song wasn't sung by their lead singer Bob Hite, but by guitarist Alan Wilson (who's a member of the 27 club btw) I can see the similarities to Kermit though
Lucky Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Canned Heat? I've never heard Al Wilson likened to Kermit the Frog. Just kidding. I don't think we've met, so welcome to SongFacts! Edit: I should pay more attention huh? Edited July 3, 2009 by Guest began posting before Martin, and finished after. :)
