    I was just responding to someone stating (obviously without any knowledge of the subject) that the SP never won awards for their songs or something.

    Cool, i didnt actually see anyone say that.

    Im not doubting his song writing, love some of the stuff he's written but his voice is really whiny in my opinion.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    They're total shit. Oasis is quite good at times. At least they had Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.

    Many more people would agree that bands like Lamb of God and Mudvayne are actual shit than people would with Oasis.

    "Metal"'s definition changes every 3 or 4 years. It's just dropped tunings, songs that revolve around the same tempos and rhythms, and people that can't sing. It's shit. Lamb of God I'll give you but Mudvayne is for the nu metal kids.

    have you actually sat and listened to mudvayne? chad probablly has the best voice/scream in metal(listen to Severed off LD50, yeah.. the chorus is layered, but still.listen to it)... Ryan is fan-fucking-tastic on bass (listen to his bassline on Internal Primates Forever), and Matt can kill on the kit....they're just a great bunch of

    i'd rather listen to them, then a bunch of whiny british fucks

    A lot of these 'metal' bands have great musicians but that is not singing and often it's not even screaming (though the latter doesn't apply to the two bands in question).

    I've listened to both bands and don't like either of them whatsoever but whatever floats your boat. Honestly I don't really care to defend Oasis very much either.

    to respond to the criticism of Geddy Lee - while his voice is not my favorite, i still can't get enough of it. I listen to Rush at least once a week. his solo album is great too, and it features drumming by this dude who plays for Pearl Jam and used to play for Soundgarden.

    granted, many Rush lyrics are geeky as hell, but fuckin' a, they RAWK.


    the worst voice in rock...

    i had to look this up, even though i have a Dream Theater album:
    James LaBrie - either he has 10 times the velveeta of Steve Perry or he's trying sound angry and brooding, but sounds like a tool instead. that band has some impressive moments, but his singing ruins them for me. the only song I like by them is "Pull Me Under" - that songs jams so much that the singing doesn't bother me.

    and of course, there's Scott Stapp.

    To anyone who has and will say Billy Corgan:

    Fair enough, but you obviously haven't heard that bald little man scream. Good lord.

    Edit:

    Corgan's voice right now is almost accessable. It's less trebly and whiny - he actually sounds like what most people consider a 'singer' now. Personally I love his voice no matter how he's using it and the Pumpkins are my favorite band, so I'm not exactly unbiased,.. but his voice is downright pleasant on some of the boots I've heard from the last month or so on anyone's standards.

    Also, he HAS won awards for his songs. To name one I know 1979 won a grammy and I believe they've won others including awards for the videos which are always outstanding.


    with Billy Corgan, the production seems to be a factor.

    for example, on Siamese Dream, produced by Butch Vig, his voice sounds incredible. never a bad moment. in fact, never a less-than-great moment. but on Mellon Collie, produced by Flood, sometimes his voice is a little grating - especially at the higher pitches. but I've always loved the way he sings. his voice is one of the most expressive and unique out there.

    You're right, and I don't think either of those production styles is bad. I think Flood produced MCIS perfectly for what it was and vice versa for Butch Vig's SD.

    The production he's been using - not just the producer but Corgan who produces them as well - since Machina is quite good. Very different.. a lot smoother than in the past.

    Corgan: Doesn't scream everything and when he does he's actually screaming. There's a big difference between a real scream and the throat/gut screaming shit those bands do.

    Also Corgan's singing has something conspicuously absent from modern metal: PITCH AND MELODY. That's cut and dry dude, I play in a band with a couple guys who love that stuff so I hear it all the time. You can't argue against that.

  • That is like stating that all metal heads wear eye liner and black with fishnets and are all gothed out. Get over it dude. I happen to wear AE and A&F shirts and shorts and like Dave Matthews and Slayer, and Van Morrison and Rage Against the Machine, just because someone wears a particular brand of clothes doesn't mean they are doing it to fit in, did you ever think those brands are popular because they are comfy? You are the reason stereotypes exist, stop casting judgement and listen to what you want to listen to and fuck anyone who says your music is crap. You like it, listen to it and be happy and let others listen to what they want to listen to. Arguing over music is like arguing over colors I have no right to tell you that Red is vastly superior color to Green, I just happen to like it better it is more appealing to me. Different strokes for different folks.... sorry to vent, but ignorance pisses me off.
    I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste a day. Now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I've learned is always wrong. Things are true that I forget, but no one taught that to me yet

    But red is the mightiest of colors ;)

    Actually you do have a point. For example, I never got into country music, probably never will, but I see why ppl like it. In the same aspect, I understand why ppl like rap. But don't associate image or worthless crap with the music! Just listen and chill.

    I love metal but the singing is lametard. Every time Nick Oliveri barks into the microphone I just want to break his evil face.

    One way to tell when you've kicked someone's ass in a debate is when instead of countering a point they just act like a sarcastic jackass like no one will notice they didn't address the point.

    Like I said, I know the music pretty well and you could've at least put up a good argument about their vocal qualities.

  • My vote for worst voice:

    Bob Dylan<- Great writer, awful singer
    Anthony Keidis <- Cannot sing..should have stuck to rap/rock
    Tom Waites<- Simply horrible
    Kurt Cobain<-Pitchy..all over the place
    Jon Anderson (Yes)<-Can't stand his voice at all... worse than Geddy Lee's
    Lemmy (Motorhead)<-Again, great songwriter..awful singer
    Anyone that has sang in AC/DC
    Al Jourgenson (Ministry)<-Doesn't sing, screams
    Ozzy Osbourne <-I respect the man, but God his voice sucks..and has only gotten worse with age.

    Shaun Ryder (Happy mondays) - Can't carry a tune to save his life
    Ian Brown (Stone Roses) - Ditto Shaun Ryder, I saw him live and I still can't believe he actually gets paid to sing like that...
    Ian Anderson - just hate everything related to Yes
    Kate Bush - feels like nails in chalkboards to me

    i think the following are lacking when it comes to singing:

    ozzy osbourne - his glory days are over now, he just sounds like an old granny
    metallica dude - most annoying band in history
    iron maiden dude - can't stand him
    other bands from the 80's similar to maiden etc.
    some new emo bands:
    avenged sevenfold
    bullet for my valentine, etc.

    the dude from The Used - saw em in portugal, not bad really but the guy is just a cobain fake with an even worse voice..

    kurt cobain never had a great voice... - fucked up etc.
    john frusciante - good backing and some good solo voices but cant stand his drugged up music and when he puts on the little girl high pitched voice


    dunno cant think any others really....but there must be, i'll remember in like 10 mins time lol
