phil anselmo currently
Literally no bands. Bad singer ruins the lot.
...
Honestly I think Biafra has a lot of talent behind his vocals. He won't win a Grammy honestly but it's pretty unique as far as punk music goes.
what is early swans
Woah, thanks for posting this. Never heard it before but it's a fucking great tune.
Radiohead. Deep down you know it's true.
tigers jaw
New Order
...
he was going for shouting more than singing then
Should be an obvious one. Meat Puppets as well.
Why?
Ghost Mice
Daniel Johnston
This Heat
Bygones
Both Calvin and Heather suck in the most magical way possible
Most punk, rock and pop.
I mean, once you're used to listen to opera, popular vocalist all seem unskilled, but you wouldn't expect operatic vocals on a pop punk song or whatever.
DELET.

posters disease
Galaxie 500
No one mencioned Wayne Coyne yet?
i mean that guy might have the most horrible voice in all psychedelia
This, he literally can't sing, but somehow, his voice still fits perfectly
I RAN MY CAR INTO A COP CAR THE OTHER DAY
say anything
leonard cohen
the sisters of mercy (the band)
suicide
it hurts
VU
Hell Nah
Godsend might be my favorite song of all time and a good portion of that is for heather's vocals. If not it's in my top 5 for sure. Not a second wasted and Heather's vocals are amazing.
literally pretty much any goth band desu
bob dylan
Absolutely
Absolutely
Gary Wilson is just a real nigga
UNIRONICALLY The Beatles
Fight me
Remember the title of this thread was "Bands where the vocalist is objectively bad but it works".
You are right when you say that his vocals are unique, though, but there are many who find his singing quite annoying regardless. But, as the title says IT WORKS!
DOLLY PARTON!

this
if it works it isn't bad.
fucking idiots.
R.e.m.
this. Listened to Low-Life again recently and, my god, Bernard can't sing. In live shows he always fucks up too with timing and whatnot. BUT New Order remain one of my favourite bands and Low-Life is still an incredible album to me.
Joy Division
Are you saying that all of the band are bad vocalists as they all take up lead vocals at one point?
Who's the guy in the front? Is that the singer? He looks fucking sickly. Look at those fucking hand and arm veins and his damn cheekbones. Did the dude have a fucking eating disorder? Is that why they had to break up? Fuck.
Paul was a good singer, but you're on to something with John and George as bad lead vocalists.
Rush
Paul was good. George was mediocre. John was inconsistent.
This is RHCP
>prime ozzy
>bad

I'd put Stipe down as someone who maximised the fuck out of a relatively modest talent. Almost all the 90s stuff is top performances. Then he got old and lost it 100%
Yeah. Hate to give props to Yorke, but that one radiohead cover of Ceremony really shows up the Bernard
Ian Curtis had a fantastic voice he just never sung completely in tune but that was obviously intentional.
Yeah,thom's voice kind of sounds like if Matt Bellamy lost his balls
Came to post this.
His singing is objectively bad though, he remains almost monotone through most of his studio performances. Still enjoyable though, does suit Joy Division
Smashing Pumpkins are good despite Billy Corgan's singing
The Shaggs
...
Pere Ubu
AnCo songs with Panda vocals
Sonic Youth (all of the vocalists)
Fred Schneider in the B-52's. He had literally no musical background before joining the band and he's still one of the greatest frontmen of all time.
Xiu Xiu
some times all you need is to be charming as fuck, and Fred's got that blessing.
>leonard cohen
>the sisters of mercy
>bad vocalists
Kys
He's not really bad, just completely unremarkable
Cohen even makes fun of his bad singing voice in one of his songs.
This huma
Dream Theater
Daniel Johnston
as said, early swans was mostly yelling.
as soon as michael gira tried to sing, I think his voice was pretty pleasant.
I'd say sonic youth but it doesnt even work really, when Kim and Thurston are unbearable they're really, really, unbearable. At least Ranaldo is usually ok at his spoken-word-esque stuff.
i freaking love cohen and eldritch for their way of emoting and expression but in terms of technical singing skill which i guessed op meant by objective they're pretty rancid

The Modern Lovers. Jonathan Richman sounds like some kid trying to sound detached and cool like Lou Reed but just comes off as goofy. And that's why he's great.
You absolute fucking cunt. Morrissey's voice is heavensent.
>You'll Be In The Air
Thruston is good imo
Kim sucks though, but sometimes it works, like in most of Daydream Nation
...
...
It's part of the charm imo
