    And Billy Corgan shouldn't be on the list, his voice was perfect for that band.

    Now his voice just sounds like he's talking in a really scraggly voice... ionno, I don't really like it, it seems changed, somehow..
    If I could, think I would give in.

    nah, she sings like a bird. Not very many here will like her style of music, but she is as vocally talented as it gets, and manages to not be annoying like Celine Dion. She can't help it that she's hot.
    ...
    That voice is annoying... extremely annoying. Especially when she goes into those 'Can Only be Heard by Dogs' ranges.
    ...
    And it's not just the style... I will admit that Christine Aguilara has a great voice... she just uses it to sing crappy songs.

    Stevie Nicks should be on there.

    ugh.

    whoever told her she could sing was clearly trying to get in her pants. it sounds like a cow dying.

    Fred Durst too.

    Geddy Lee for sure.

    Just turn it down. The song sucks. The video is kinda humerous.

    Agree on Fred Durst and Geddy Lee, of course. But Stevie Nicks has a great voice, very unique. Sometimes her lyrics are retarded, but I really appreciate her voice.

    8) Conor Oberst: As the wunderkind who leads Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst was given a certain amount of leeway since he was a young teen when he started out and his precious singing--so sensitive and intimate you could hear the post-nasal drip--was mistaken as precocious. Well, he's in his 20s now and he still sounds like he's swimming back to the womb for protection from this hard, harsh world. Come on buddy, stand up straight and stop trying to imitate the Cure's Robert Smith. He got there first. And even he must know he sounds a little silly.
    WAY harsh. I like Conor's voice, it suits the music. The thing I love about folk music is it doesn't matter how great the voice is, it's important that the songwriter sings the song how they want it sung. Conor Obert, Elliott Smith, Neil Young etc. etc. may not have technically perfect voices but that's not the point!

    Another thing I don't understand... Everyone complains about british people singing with American accents, then the moment artists sing with their own accent people accuse them of putting on mockney! Hypocracy!

    and your Dylan comment well... common complaint but I love his voice personally.

    Not really. She just has really nice hair that covers half her face so you can't see how average looking she is...

    She's no masterpiece in the traditional sense but she's cute as buttons and really totally my type. Average can be good if you do it right. If only she didn't sound like a modern day theme tune for Steptoe & Son...

    She maybe attended a Swiss boarding school and speaks with a cut-glass accent for all I know and I haven't any prejudice against -cock-neys, just not into that glottal stop over music. Oh, but I've no problem with Madness or The Specials.

    I've tryed sooo hard with Dylan and accept his songwriting has some greatness but just can't get past that voice y'know.

    Yeah cus like, unconventional = bad innit? I mean like, if singers actually use their voice as an instrument as opposed to a way to get on the radio, it fucken sucks, miright?


    Jeez. I think Dylan would agree that his voice is perfect for what he does. I would also add that his vocal performances on songs like Girl from the north country, Shelter from the storm and Joey are absolutely beautiful.
