Anyways, so I've been singing with my band for just under a year now. A year back I begin singing and I went from a flat, out-of-key and horrible singer to an okay one now.
During feedback from a recent live performance, people tell me that we sound good as a band, but would sound even better with a trained vocalist. My question is, should I take heed to their advice? It sounds reasonable, but I know many great bands out there started with horrible singers, who got really good and ended up making them famous.
You think I should keep going with the singing or instead get a trained vocalist?

Thanks for any answers!

A great band with a ****ty singer will still sound ****ty. A ****ty band with a great singer can almost work. Vocals are absolutely key. I think you have to be real with yourself and if people are telling you a different singer would help you may want to listen. I say look for a really good singer and focus on singing backup harmonies. Of course having not heard you I have no idea. I have no doubt you can get better.
