In works in some cases and doesn't work in others. I think Tunnel of Love showed a lot of promise. And then Magic and Wrecking Ball are his best works vocally.

Look, I don't get Madonna but I also don't go about bashing she can't sing.

Sir I did not say I HATE THEM. I said they are OVERRATED. I think they got more fame than they should have gotten.

I think we're all perceiving one another as being extremely defensive Radiohead fans/haters when in reality, nobody cares that much.

Why is there strong hate for Radiohead though I don't care for them, but why a strong hatred for them.

nah, he's in key - the vibrato's kinda out, though

Honestly, it's hard for me to sit down and listen to any song of any genre without breaking it down to the basics. I strip every song apart in my mind and frankly, it's an ability that I wish I NEVER acquired

It's useful, but detrimental to my enjoyment of music...

i could hardly care less - my fave singers can't really "Sing"

I'd be interested in hearing a Thom Yorke solo record though, just to see how it sounds.

uh, no, you don't - it's basically an Autechre album with mediocre vocals

Most likely.

You seriously believe that? Have your ears checked, man, really! Those are some of Bruce's better albums --- some of the best albums in rock, I'd venture to say --- and his voice only got better with age. Even on "Asbury Park" he was miles above most other singers, a real emerging talent. You might as well say Bono sang crap on "The Joshua Tree" or that Waters sounded horrible on "Dark side"! Wise up: that comment is just totally baseless. I just can't understand where you're coming from there, and I will fight to backup my belief --- hell with it, the fact --- that Bruce's voice is in its finest form on BTR and everything after.

And again I ask in incredulity: Nebraska!? You hear nothing good on this album in his voice? The guy is ACOUSTIC for god's sake, on one track almost acapella, and you're trying to say he couldn't sing? 2004? What's 2004 got to do with anything? He didn't release any albums that year; "Devils and dust" was 2005, and I consider that a so-so album but there's no change in his voice from that to "The Rising" and back.

Come on, you can tell me: you're joking, right? Is it April 1st?

Yeah well, with a comment like the above on Springsteen, you're not so far from that yourself.
