I wish I could quote this a trillion times over.

Personally I like Axl's vocals for the same reason everyone hates him. I like the trashiness and grunginess in his voice, for f*ck's sake people, the guy sings for a hard rock band whose primary influences are New York Dolls, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Motorhead, Sex Pistols and Led Zeppelin, he's not exactly supposed to sound like Bing Crosby.

Jeff Lynne's voice is the worst sound ever recorded.

I'm not much of a Lady Gaga fan either, I hate she goes from that weird gargling man's voice to a normal pop singer's voice.

ELO's Jeff Lynne? One of the most underappreciated songwriters in pop history, THAT Jeff Lynne?

What's wrong with his voice? To me he just sounds like Lennon and McCartney fused together.

To me he sounds like the gates of 'ell have opened and you can hear all the suffering. ELO worst band ever.

Are you talking about the Jeff Lynne and ELO that everybody knows or some other Jeff Lynne from an alternative universe here?

To describe ELO as the worst band ever is as ridiculous as it gets!!! They might not be my style either, but they are unique in their orchestrated sound and combine a lot of good elments of traditional rock as well, in fact they could be called a classic rock band. Also Jeff Lynne is a very respected artist in rock circles etc.

ELO are a very underrated band and Jeff Lynne is a f*cking genius.

Agreed, Lynne is a pretty damn good musician. I mean he was in The Traveling Wilburys along with some of the best artists in rock music in the last 50 years. Not that their music is particularly good, but they fact that those guys had enough respect for him to have him join the graces of musicians like Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and George Harrison is pretty damn impressive.

I have to go with Bob Seger as the worst. Absolutely intolerable.

Now this one I can back 100%, I f*cking hate that guy.

He's not bad technically I guess but he pretty much has the most boring voice ever.

Turn the Page is decent, but the Metallica version is a billion times better so f*ck it, there is absolutely no reason to listen to this guy, ever.
