Sorry, I don't agree - it's a pretty subjective thing isn't it.
Don't get me wrong. I respect your opinion or anyone elses. People thinking they're always right is my biggest pet peeve, especially on forums.
We could argue whether it's good or not, but I still think it's hard to deny how unique and recognizable Maynard's voice is, whether that's a good or bad thing.
Camden I '06, Camden II '06, Bonnaroo '08, Camden I '08, Camden II '08, Philly Spectrum II/III/IV '09, MSG I '10, MSG II '10, Made In America '12, Wrigley '13, Brooklyn II '13, Philly I '13, Philly II '13, ...
System Of A Down has quite the terrible singer, his vocals are ridiculous. Dont like their sound much either besides for a couple songs off the first record. John Mayer has some great guitar too but his vocals suck, dont really like his music anyways.

me too, i love his voice. but how can anyone say maynard ruins tool?!!?
I never said he ruins Tool. I think they are a decent/good band. But they are not a great band, and as I said, all their songs sound the same. Maynard is partly responsible for that, but not solely.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

John Mayer indeed. Can't believe I didn't think of that one.

I have contended on several occasions that every Tool song essentially sounds the same. I believe Soulsinging has my back on this one. Part of the reason the songs always sound the same is because of Maynard's vocal limitations.
i do. i'd say it's the whole package though, not just his vocals. they don't ruin tool for me. tool ruins tool for me.
i would also like to toss my support to whoever mentioned cornell/soundgarden. i forgot that one. used to be legendary for it. but i can't get on board with his voice.
I would really love that band if they had a different singer.
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
Amen.
The Original Poster ALSO goes on to say the same about Jane's Addiction later, only to be backed by ANOTHER guy who says the SAME thing about DYLAN.
UGHHHH!
Janis and Perry are like near the top of the field (not to even mention Bob)!

You'll get killed for saying that on here haha, but i agree Thom Yorke isn't the best vocalist ever, but it doesn't totally ruin the band i.m.o
But i'm going to be really un-Australian and say Midnight Oil amazing lyrics and melodies but i've never liked the vocals that much. And the smiths and morrissey i agree with.
I love Smashing Pumpkins music but I can't stand Billy Corgan's voice and I cannot stand Ween. I never understood how that band made it big. It drives me nuts.
I'm suprised no one has said Corin Tucker from Sleater Kinney. I love them but I know that most can't stand her voice!
yet there is absolutely nothing original about oasis or the redwalls.
originality is over-rated. and homophobia is for closet cases.
You do know that it was pjoasisrule that likes those bands and not me right??!
I was the one who called him on the homophobia.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
Its not homophobia, its just that I picked out the easiest thing to make fun of him for.
So it's homophobia then....
because homosexuality is OBVIOUSLY the easiest thing to make fun of someone for.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
I'm sure that even some of your best friends are "homos".
I dont have many gay friends but I do respect the ones that are even though I do find it a bit weird. I dont even know why you are trying to argue with me, Morrissey is homophobic against himself, the guy wont even admit that he is gay because he is ashamed of himself.

Seriously, did Morrissey do something to you? Something... homosexual?

i do. i'd say it's the whole package though, not just his vocals. they don't ruin tool for me. tool ruins tool for me.

isn't that the case with almost all jam bands though? the only one i ever heard with vocals worth hearing was ekoostik hookah.
good call on dave. him and john mayer. i don't know what they're doing with their voices, but it feels so artificial.
I would really love that band if they had a different singer.
Amen.

Janis Joplin -- Yelling or singing?
Eddie Vedder -- Yelling or singing?

They have some cracking songs but Noel should sing...
Liams voice has kinda gone to shit but he used to have a much better voice than Noel

yeah, maybe in 1996, ever since Liams been a joke, Noel's a good songwriter, such a shame...

He did nothing to me, I just hate his music and cant stand his attitude. He tries way too hard to be controversial.
