Jahfin Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 by Rob O'Connor It's stunning to learn that others don't share our tastes. Then again, how did an entire generation embrace faux wood paneling, shag carpets and putting thick plastic on their furniture? Well, someone thought it was a great idea! Hey, I like Bob Dylan's voice and kept him off this list because I could! Instead, I found the ten singers most likely to make you drive off the road. Now that's a terrible fate. Not only are you stranded in some ditch, but you're stuck listening to one of these ten singers, who it would seem are singing that way just to mock you. Oh, the injustice. Click here for the list.

Wow. Tiny Tim. Havent heard his name in a long time. "Tiptoe through the tulips". haha. But he was singing it to be funny. I like some of Frankie Valle's old stuff.

ally Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Whitney Houston comes to my mind, Everytime I hear her I can't help but think that she's just showing off her range. She can sure belt it out but for god sakes, she doesn't have to prove it to us with every song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can sure belt it out but for god sakes, she doesn't have to prove it to us with every song Same thing for Mariah Carey but thanks to American Idle melissma is a huge part of what people seem to like these days. Also, no list of "annoying singers" is complete without Bruce Springsteen and Axl Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle87 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I agree with almost every one on the list. But I need to hear more from John Mayer before... Chad Kroger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bong-Man Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 4) Frankie Valli: Frankie Valli was a hero to some back in his day. I grant you this. He was consistent! He consistently sang in a voice designed to send dogs running for cover and perfect for breaking glass. "Rag Doll, " "Sherry," "Dawn," "Big Girls Don't Cry," the list is enormous. He very well could be tried as a war criminal. Who would object? Seriously? Who? Are we allowed to compare Robert Plant with Frankie Valli ? Because as far as original range and later limitations, I think they have a lot in common. Eddie Kendricks (Temptations), and Frankie Lymon are really the only other falsetto male pop stars I can think of....although I'm sure there's more.

The Pagemeister Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The guy from Smashing Pumpkins, the Creed guy and James Blunt (just from that one song) are good choices for sure. Dylan should have been on the list easily. Also, maybe they forgot to consider Ween: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyedye Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Bob Dylan I hate his whiny, nasally voice however, I do like a few songs of him. Overall though, ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The guy from System of a Down (just plain stupid delivery) and the guy from Counting Crows (can you say whine?) are the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleNecker Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Dylan has a pretty bad singing voice in his early days, but I think I think he has wonderful singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audacity Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Andy Partridge of XTC can be annoying at times Les Claypool of Primus can irritate Michael McDonald of Doobies, Steely Dan etc. should shut the fuck up Christopher Cross is in the same category as M. McDonald Rod Stewart sucks, except his earliest singing Steve Perry sucks donkey dicks Yoko Ono is the worst Buck Owens, I just can't watch him when he sings William Hung, what kind of crap is that?

zepyep Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi all, by Rob O'Connor It's stunning to learn that others don't share our tastes. Then again, how did an entire generation embrace faux wood paneling, shag carpets and putting thick plastic on their furniture? Well, someone thought it was a great idea! Hey, I like Bob Dylan's voice and kept him off this list because I could! Instead, I found the ten singers most likely to make you drive off the road. Jahfin,got something to ask you,since you know a lot about music,both today and yesterday,... Dylan,ok,but he had something to say,and still does!Cash,not the best singer but then again he *knew* what he was singing about,he had been there and Dylan had his eye open,wide open,... I guess Bruce,but hearing him sing 'Badlands' in 1980,Axel,singing 'Paradise City' in 1988,I guess it's all the time/material,... Now that's a terrible fate. Not only are you stranded in some ditch, but you're stuck listening to one of these ten singers, who it would seem are singing that way just to mock you. Oh, the injustice. I'll always have some Elvis,Holly,Muddy to help me crawl out of the ditch,....is my legs broken? KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I had to reach a certain stage of life before I "got" Bob Dylan. Used to be in the crowd that says "love his songs, hate his voice" but have to admit he does sound might good in menopause. Mine, not his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeplinger Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I once heard how some used to say of Guns n Roses, great band, but the god awful singer. I have to laugh because I think Axl Rose has, or had, a really good singing voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepaholic Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Tom Waits. I just don't get it. On this same subject. Keith Richards once said; "If you want to torture me, just put me in a room and have Geddy Lee sing at me." There, i fixed the name. Daltrey may not be Paul Rodgers but he does not belong anywhere near that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
