Off Key Songs

Postby empyrean » Thu Jun 11, 2009 12:21 pm

Are there any NW songs that sounded like off key?

The Sugarcubes Bjork comes to mind when it comes to off key singing.

The Associates - Waiting For The Loveboat, is the first one that comes to mind. I'm sure there's a ton more.

Pretty much anything by PiL. Hardly NW, but definitely off key. LOL

The B52's have some of the best sounding off key NW tunes around IMHO.

Oops, lest I forget to mention Barney Sumner?..[;)]

Stuff from Gary Numan, Japan, Howard Devoto, sound off key to me but it probably isn't. [:)]
