TheCyberdemon Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hendrix was horrible at vocals, but he more than made up for it on the guitar. Tom from Blink does suck, which is why every popular song by them has been mostly Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Jayson_ Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Here's some of my favorite Hendrix lyrics. Red House - Jimi Hendrix There's a Red House over yonder That's where my baby stays There's a Red House over yonder, baby That's where my baby stays Well, I ain't been home to see my baby, in ninety nine and one half days. 'Bout time I see her, Wait a minute something's wrong here The key won't unlock the door. Wait a minute something's wrong baby, Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door, something's goin' on here. I have a bad bad feeling that my baby don't live here no more. That's all right, I still got my guitar Look out now . . . I might as well go on back down go back 'cross yonder over the hill I might as well go back over yonder way back over yonder 'cross the hill, (That's where I came from.) 'Cause if my baby don't love me no more, I know her sister will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Britney is really hard to listen to. Easy to watch, hard to listen to. my brother likes this band called Newfound Glory, and the lead singer has a very bad voice. It sounds like he is trying to hit high notes while still singing with his chest voice rather than head voice (something I learned in music class in grade school) so it ends up sounding really whiny. William Hung isn't too good at singing either I also don't think Ozzy Osbourne is a great singer, he has some great guitarists though, and his sound is unique. Without his voice Black Sabbath might not have been as succesful. I read in Rolling Stone the basis of their songs was to scare people, and Ozzy has a scary voice Wow, I haven't been here for a while, and my anything overated topic went 4 pages!

R_Soul Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Britney is really hard to listen to. Easy to watch, hard to listen to. I'm not even sure about the "easy to watch" bit.

R_Soul Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Mariah Carey has a fine set of lungs, surely I don't know. I've never seen her lungs. I've just heard her voice.

Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Simon Le Bon - sorry Simon, but Duran Duran would've been big if somebody else sang instead. Regards Diggs, I have just fallen out of my chair and hit the floor. I cry sacrilege, you blasphemer! :: Ok, I have calmed down a bit. Diggs, I love you, but I love DD more. I love all things Duran, and especially all things LeBon. My goodness, you have struck a chord in me. I'm going to go listen to "The Chauffer" and try to block this negativity from my mind... :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielj Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Everyone has just about covered all of mine. Others I can think of: Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day)- I can bear one or two songs- but something about it really irritates.... Liam Gallagher- I like some of the songs- but I don't think his voice is anything special. That's odd. I like Liam Gallaghers voice. That's Oasis right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Sorry TP, but it must be the first time a chord has been struck regarding Mr LeBon! Regards Diggs, that can't be true, can it? I remember Duran Duran being HUGE here in the US back in the 80s. Were they not that popular in the UK? I just can't imagine it. Maybe they were just big where I was, but every time I turned on the radio or MTV in the 80s, they were on. LONG LIVE DURAN DURAN...and Simon LeBon! Can I somehow blame this on your wife's pregnant hormones? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen24306 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 it's got to be Nico by a long shot, i love Chelsea Girl more then life itself, but her voice defenitly takes some errhh .....getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy20801 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 The guy from Dashboard Confessional is singlehandedly responsible for me hating all of their songs, despite the songs themselves being really good. It makes me wish someone would cover "Screaming Infidelities"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggsUK Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 TP, Duran Duran were massive here too, at the same time as Spandau Ballet (featuring Tony 'pub singer' Hadley) and others of the ilk. I never liked Mr LeBon's voice, probably because all the girls at my school did. My favourite band of the new romantic gendre was Japan, even if David Sylvian did look like a big girl's blouse. Sorry to insult your hero. He was a top man in a couple of respects though - cracking videos and a liking for Ducati 888 motorcycles.

Opiate Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Avril...Not only does she NOT have a great singing voice, her lyrics are crap & her performance is boring. I think I just have more respect for people when they are as great or even BETTER in live performances. This, to me, is the true test of an artist's or group's talent and ability. Because we ALL know, studio effects ie. echo, fade, making the voice appear to be twice as powerful than what it really is, can do wonders for the less than talented. I have noticed that some people really just don't care if a performer or group is terrible during a live concert. They are just happy that they are there...which is kind of cute in a naive way. But I myself will then see them in a whole new light if they lack talent on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted July 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Oh god Opiate you brought up bad memories about when Avril played SNL (twice, the first one gives me indigestion just thinking about it, the second one, while awful, was better than the first) That was one of the worst musical performances on SNL I have ever seen (even *shudders* Good Charrolette did better than her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I won't ever fail to miss a performance by her after I caught the end of some rediculous mediochre show she performed on...I can't remember what it was now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 How have you guys failed to mention Stevie Nicks? Her voice is the most annoying thing next to all that punk crap. I don't know what the band or song is called, but there is that part where the guy goes "I'd do anything" and he does it in that whiny strained voice. It makes me nautious it is so annoying.

XXX Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Simon Le Bon - sorry Simon, but Duran Duran would've been big if somebody else sang instead. Regards What? D2 is HUGE and completely dwarfs most of the other acts in their genre of music. He has a decent voice when compared to other choices made in this topic.
