Like it or not, this is true peak performance. Human brain loses these types of cognitive abilities as time goes on, peaks around 20, and starts to specialize skills

It doesn't matter if they can "sing", so long as it matches the music. Would Prince work in opera? No, but it works with his music. Complaining about vocals is hack criticism unless it's about how generic they are

His voice doesn't "match" anything. You're just used to hearing his shit vocals behind Smashing Pumpkins music that you think it works now. Brainlets like you are the reason talentless cunts like him can become successful.

Except I wasn't defending this man, I was pointing out the superficial nonsense of "vocal talent". especially in rock music

I actually hate the smashing pumpkins, I think they're on par with Pearl Jam and U2 in terms of lameness

Billy's voice sounded great prior to Mellon Collie. Even after Mellon Collie it still fit the music really well.
