After seeing american idol, I thought of this thread. There are tons of artists that make it but their voices suck. Some are still good even if their voices suck. Some still suck.
1 example: Axle Rose! Guns and roses were HUGE. But Axle sounds like
a cat in a blender.

OK, name some!

Neil Young. I love the guy but singing is not his strong suit.

I'd like to see him do the entire New Order catalog and Bernard Sumner do his inturn.

Good one Motors, Neil Young is a perfect example. I love him too. (Don't make fun of me Blir).

Well, Blir just stole my answer.

Ben Folds and Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind) are other noble candidates. Then again, pretty much everyone on the modern rock charts nowadays would qualify.

How about Bruce Springsteen? Not the best singing voice.

alanis morrisette, tori amos, and regina spektor... especially regina spektor and her awful, phlegmy voice[xx(]

Although you could debate whether they "made it", It's Immaterial's singer John Campbell always struck me as having a particularly untrained voice. Despite that, I don't think I could hear anyone else singing an It's Immaterial song.

Got to go with Bob Dylan on this one.

By my standards , this is deep and well thought out .

Tom Waits Has a nice horrible voice.

by **Mechi** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 9:34 am

Bob Dylan also for me... with all due respect... since I love his music.

Heh, I was listening to Throwing Muses' [i]In A Doghouse[/i] last night and thinking about this...

Kristin Hersh—in her early Throwing Muses days—had, by traditional standards, a very unpretty voice. It was gurgling, screeching, and weirdly quivering and nasally. But she's fantastic, powerful, and really throws herself into each song. I love her!

Alanis Moreupset
and the rest of those awful screechy men-hating-and-bashing "womyn" singers of the 90s....

I really enjoy PiL's music, but Johnny Lydon's voice is pretty grating.
