Debatably - the red hot chili peppers

Calvin Johnson can't sing for shit, but it works so well with the rest of the sound.

>>68312049
??????

ICP

Their production is fire, yo

daniel johnston

The singer from galaxie 500 always sounds like hes being stabbed but I like it anyway

The band needs to still sound good. Read the OP next time ;)

Django Django

Dinosaur Jr

>>68312028
joy division

>>68312028
Sonic Youth in a sense. Both of them do a monotone or loud delivery on most of their songs.

>>68313778
Best me to it
J.Mascis
One of the world's most renowned guitar players.... Also simultaneously a horrendous vocalist... but it works for that sonic guitar kinda sound...

You re living all over me
Me personally? On my too 1000 albums of all time probably 8 or 9

the lead singer sounds like a prepubescent temper tantrum. Just flat out fucking awful.

Lee has a nice voice though

>>68312098

I just finally bothered to listen to Deafheaven for the first time yesterday.

It was so fucking lame I was almost offended. These fucking faggots taking an interesting style and thinking they're making any improvement by inserting in the most generic fucking limp-wristed indie-emo melodic structure and tonality.

then I saw a picture of the fucking faggots and just... fuck indie faggots so much.

Silencer

I love Agalloch, I've shown them to people to who don't like harsh vocals and they always say "I really like the band but not the vocals," so I guess I'd have to say Agalloch.

>>68313876
Yeah I still love all 3 of them but Lee only sings on a few of their songs

John Wetton era King Crimson

I don't think they sound good, but some people do: any UK punk band ever

I used to think I hated punk but then I listened to some FUCKIN AMERICAN bands

Come on, Gordon Haskell and Boz Burrell were both worse by a wide margin

>>68313823
no

King Crimson
Vocals were always the weakest part but everything else makes up for it.

>>68313963
you dont belong here

Punk doesn't really count since it's supposed to sound like that. Unless they have a voice that's very unfitting for punk.

Smashing Pumpkins

I love Ian's voice, at first admittedly not very much though

Midori (Mariko Goto)

A love hate relationship with her voice to be honest

What don't you like about her voice?

Bad Religion?

>>68312028
Bands with horrible vocals?
>Oasis
>Ramones
>Black Flag
>Megadeth
>The Strokes
>Smash Mouth
>Van Halen (David Lee Roth is garbage)
>The Violent Femmes
>Smashing Pumpkins
>Dire Straits
>The Offspring
>Bob Dylan
>Red Hot Chili Peppers

Now it isn't my opinion that all of these bands are good so to speak, but they all have reached a high level of success despite having poor vocal work.

frank ocean

>>68314600
I like it, it's definitiely an aquired taste though, i probably have brain damage

>>68314679
even if you don't realize it, david thomas's vocals are the best part of the band and it makes their tracks

>>68314738
Chili peppers would probably be a lot better if the lyrics were written by anybody with some sort of cognitive ability

>>68314738
Billie Corgan used to sound great, these days he sounds pretty bad admittedly

>>68315016
From a technical standpoint he's always been pretty bad. Very very small vocal range, breaking into falcsetto without any sort of transitional notes I.E. he breaks into falsetto while basically skipping an entire octave.

>>68314909
Pure autotune

>>68314738

>Van Halen (David Lee Roth is garbage)

Dave was okay on the first two Van Halen albums. Hagar was passable at best, and the other fucker was unlistenable.

>>68314600
I want Mariko Goto to sit on my face while she loudly screams into my left ear.

>>68315044
You seem to know what you're talking about technically, But I've always enjoyed his vocals on SP's earlier albums i think they go hand in hand with the music and make it more sincere

>>68315092
I like his voice, but you don't have to be a good singer to have a likeable voice. I really like him in 1979.

Seriously, I really liked the instrumentation of The Soft Bulletin, but I just couldn't finish it. How the fuck do you stand a voice like that? It doesn't even sound like it's intentional.

>pls halp moo, I wanna like 'em, I really do ;_;

I wouldn't say that Dinosaur Jr. has horrible vocals. It really suits the music

>>68312049

Did Tom Verlaine or Patti Smith come first? One is clearly ripping off the other.

Liam Gallagher had serious pipes on Definitely Maybe.

Amazing instruments, horrible vocals. Girl can't sing at all.

Iceage

>>68313847
The dude's really good, it's just an older metal vocal style that's not often paired with proggy stuff or thrash.

>>68316269
Came here to post this. Somehow his shit vocals fit everything perfectly and it works, though

Anybody here who can only deal with clean vocals, you don't count. Get the fuck outta here

Dream Theater

The Residents

Joanna Newsom has a horrible voice, imo. But it kind of sits nice with the music.

>>68312055
Yeah, but they really clean up Anthony's vocals in the studio so he doesn't sound that bad on the album. Live though, he's absolutely awful which sucks because they try so hard to be this huge live arena rock band and he holds them back.

Fucking fight me. His voice was perfect for Islands. Sure, he was no Greg Lake, but Boz's voice feels somehow more genuine than most prog singers. Haskell was pretty bad though
