-Nick Cave until around the late 90s or so
-Neil Young
-Leonard Cohen
-Bob Dylan
-Ian Curtis
-Thom Yorke

even so I like their voices

this.

What bothers me about Gira is that he has potential to be a great singer, but he'll start singing somewhat decently and go autistic and nasally halfway through.

>Has highest vocal range in all of remotely popular music and is skilled in countless styles and vocal techniques.

You should objectively kill yourself user. Mike Patton is without the greatest.

Grimes

Here's the thing about Mike. The man has some serious pipes. He has a six octave range and excelled in any octave. He writes brilliant songs. And his stage presence is only matched by Adolf Hitler.

Seriously, Watch Mr. Bungle play What the World needs now at Bizarre Festival and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We better thank our lucky stars Mike didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world.

But Mr. Bungle as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Mike Patton backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Bungle what it is. Yes Mike wrote Girls of Porn, Sweet Charity and The Air conditioned Nightmare.

But Trevor Dunn wrote Retrovertigo, The holy Filament and Phlegmatics. Trey Spruance wrote Desert Search for Techno Allah, None of them know they were robots, Golem II the bionic vapour boy.

Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Mr. Bungle was the perfect storm of legendary talent, and Mike was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.

He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of the combo that was Mr. Bungle to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Trevor, Trey, Heifietz and Mckinnon and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow out minds out through our ear holes.

Yes, he is the most incredible front man who has ever lived, hands down.

and don't forget the orc sounds on this

This user....THIS FUCKIN user GETS IT!!!

>Leonard Cohen
>bad singer

not sure about Jarboe...in some songs like volcano she's just way too raw, voice failes to hit notes and feels uncomfortable.

What are you smoking? Cohen is a technically awful singer, even if you like his voice.

Lol, he sounds like someone who thinks he's alone at home.

he was never good

This and basically every single female indie singer ever. Not saying they're objective bad, but I've not heard a thing more bland and uninteresting than them

...

Thom Yorke is good

i take it back...both right.

Tom Delonge (lately at least):

Snowings singer. Still love them though

DELETE THIS

has a beautiful voice but can sound incredibly autistic at times

he is very memorable

there is a major difference between oai and itaots. On the debut vocals were beautiful...falsetto on baby for pree was a pleasant surprise.

...

How has no one posted this fucker yet? I wanna like The Soft Bulletin so badly, but his voice sounds absolutely disgusting

wow...how did i miss him?

wow...how did i miss him?

wow...how did i miss him?

>waifufags and nu males will defend her bland unoriginal voice

UH!

He's not really that bad. He does that crazy chanting really well. He has the exact right voice for the music he makes.

When I saw him in Tucson there was a moment where he stepped away from the mic and sang a line and most everyone could hear it. They were playing quietly but to sing that loud and powerfully to basically fill an auditorium takes some pipes.

wow...how did i miss him?

wow...how did i miss him?

Dean Wareham from Galaxie 500. I think he may have been an influence on Mangum's singing

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

even so I love his voice

...

...

>singer has a unique voice that is appropriate for the music they make
>"terrible" singer

You guys are fags. Name one of your favorite bands where the singer is objectively good.

Mark Hollis from Talk Talk is the only one I can think of.

>Queen
>Bowie
>Joanna Newsom

>not sure about Jarboe...in some songs like volcano she's just way too raw, voice failes to hit notes and feels uncomfortable.
She does that intentionally though, she has a lot of softer songs where she sings beautifully.

How dare you.

She has a beautiful voice.

Probably. He was obviously a fan as he wrote Naomi about their bassist. I don't think any other vocal style would fit for them though

Anyway, both Kim and Thurston are not technically gifted vocalists, but I like both (well, Kim's vocals are sometimes a bit naff *coughdirtycough*). Funnily enough I think Lee was the best singer of the band and he only had a couple of songs per album.

perhaps.

youtu.be/Q8UNecNMM50
pic unrelated obviously

It's the songs where she does the whole southern twang thing or sings wild and crazy that people don't like.

I think her rock vocals on I Crawled were amazing, Jarboe always sang better than Gira.

Lee has such a nice voice. I wish his singing and songwriting had more of a central role in Sonic Youth.

Dude, I even like chvrches and she has a pretty narrow range.

wow...how did i miss him?

he's pointing at us

i'm pretty sure OP meant singers that are "technically" bad like they would do bad in singing school or something

...

This thread has done complete justice.

kill yourself

he was a good musician but a terrible singer and he obviously knew that

Haven't heard much of his Swans work but he does it pretty ok with The Angels of Light

yeah

bad singing but it fits the music


not bad but boring

maybe he isn't technically good but damn he's emotive and energetic

no way

holy shit yes, it's such a turn off for me
i like Galaxies instrumentals but when this faggot starts monotonally whining with his nose it ruins everything

his weird voice is endearing

he could nail it when he wanted, otherwise he'd sound like a super nasal, super drunk drone, which i guess sometimes was kinda the point

My picks are:
Bob Dylan
Always felt he was a hack with a bunch of good songs, people just feel his cryptolyrics are something like the Book of Revelation. On top of it he couldn't sing right for his life

Billy Corgan
I know his voice is bad but I like it, it works really well when it's buried deep into the mix like in Gish or Siamese Dream.

Tom Waits
His voice is literally a gimmick that grows old really fast. It's like he were trying to play shoegaze with his voice

>will coyne
have you heard that guy live, bro?

objectively terrible choices for objectively terrible singers

Only some 90's live recordings and it wasn't too different from the studio sound. Did he lately went to shit outside the studio or something?

Tom Waits has one of the most iconic voices in history.

>Billy Corgan
I wanted to bring him up, his voice is extremely nasal but it's sometimes enjoyable.

It's part of the reason I really like his solo records. He also wrote some of the band's best songs, but doesn't get enough credit for it in my opinion. Lee was very much the George Harrison of Sonic Youth

youtube.com/watch?v=dlU6jcae5Ao

Iconic means it stands out, not that it is good.

I love it though....should hear more probably to get what you mean.

>Tom Waits
To a degree you are right, he probably isn't a good singer technically. But on some of his better albums he actually mixes things up with different heights and voices which is pretty nice so I don't think it's a gimmick.

any time he hold a note for over a second its cringetime

Thom Yorke was good up through OKC, and decent since then but he ONLY croons now which is annoying and one note.

DELET THIS WHOLE THREAD

Cohen, wut?

Reminder that knowing how to use what range you have is more important than having a wide range

Pic related. Went from objectively one of the best to objectively one of the worse and then back up because he figured out how to use what remained.

youtube.com/watch?v=mvPIvoJkmGs

Titus Andronicus singer is utter shit

Leave Gira alone

Most blues singers

How has no one posted this

I hate how he doesn't pronounciate the words and have that nasal af voice

how in the literal fuck has no one said axl rose
i dont even hate guns n roses but jeez its such an obvious choice

...

you're wrong faggot

youtube.com/watch?v=jQqK1CjE9bA

Literally any punk band.
>Johnny Rotten
>Joey Ramone
>Darby Crash
>Ian McKaye
>Fat Mike
>Tim Armstrong

I suppose some can carry a tune, to an extent. Joe Strummer was okay.

hi

Shit, forgot to put Jello with Strummer. He's on the "kinda" list in my mind

I like him, his voice reminds me of spongebob
