I can't understand who told these people they could sing.

1) Mark Knofler - Sounds like he has a bad cold

2) Billy Corgan - WTF? Whinny. nasally, irratating.

3) Geddy Lee - How great would of Rush been with another lead vocalist. People might argue this point though.

Any thought?

How could you mention these guys and not mention Keith? All 3 of them can sing far better than Keith. And I do understand how each one above (except maybe Knopfler) can get on one's nerves.

Huh, really? I like Jimi's music, but his voice does not sit well with me; something in the tonal quality of it. I don't think he's a terrible singer, but I think his songs would have been served much better with a different vocalist.

In general, I much prefer Ted Nugent songs where Derek St. Holmes is singing. When Ted sings on the first few albums, it can be pretty good. However, it seems like he gets overly crazy and screamy with his vocals on some of the later, duller albums...which I guess is his persona.

its because i consider those 2 guys almost right in the middle of guitar players who sing. neither one has a great voice but neither is that bad

The guitarist from System Of A Down, I know the whole band is shit, but that guy's voice is terrible. And maybe Robbie Robertson, though he wasn't that bad the few times he sung with The Band. A lot of guitar players sung great high harmonies with the lead singer, Pete Townshend, Keith, John Frusciante.

I strongly disagree. System of a down is not shit.



This is what Hell is like.

Bob Dylan. But he shouldn't play guitar either. Or harmonica. Sure Mick is nasal but this guy has elevated the art of singing only through your nose to a level of its own.

That's like saying Leonardo da Vinci shouldn't have painted. Moron.

Well I guess I'm a moron too, because I think Bob Dylan (as well as Willie Nelson, Leonard Cohen & Kris Kristofferson) should've stuck to songwriting.

Robby Krieger from the Doors. Great songwriter, underrated guitarist, but does anyone remember "Runnin' Blue" from the Soft Parade LP?
