Worst voice in rock music?
 

I have to say, despite my love for The Jam, that Paul Weller's voice really isn't that good. It's very bland and dull. Eric Clapton also isn't very capable as a singer IMO.

What do you think?

I've never been very impressed with Jack White's singing. Clapton isn't a very good singer I'll agree but he is capable.

I don't mind Jack White's style so much. It can be wicked abrasive, and in parts, just annoying, but I think his voice on Consolers of the Lonely by the Raconteurs was really good.

Jello Biafra's voice used to really get under my skin, but somehow it grew on me.

Isaac Brock's (Modest Mouse) style annoys the fuck out of me.

And as much as I love his work, Les Claypool should have really let somebody else sing when he covered Pink Floyd's Animals with his Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. He's not much of a singer, but he does have a distinctive voice that just seems to fit most of his work. But he kind of butchered the high parts in "Pigs (Three Different Ones)".

J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. His voice is just waaaaaay too quiet and abrasively whiny.

And Nickelback, here's a hint. Your donkey is out of tune.

Vince Neil or Bret Michaels
IDK who is worse

I have to go for Dave Mustaine on this one. I wish Metallica could have kept him as their lead guitarist and saved us all.

Bwahahahahaa!! So true.

Good call.

Probably Mudvayne's singer. Whenever I hear a song from them I think of how lucky the deaf really are.


(Wouldn't this thread be better suited to be in the main rock and metal section instead of the classic/rock n roll board?)

Psh, you only mentioned Isaac Brock to get under my skin, didn't ya?! =P I second your bit on Mr. Claypool and Biafra.

I can't really think of a vocalist that gets on my nerves at the moment. Isis' vocals used to ruin their albums for me. It wasn't until Wavering Radiant that I started to appreciate it. OH, and fuckin' James LaBrie just needs to stop. I can't stand his voice. In my opinion, he ruins the whole band.

No, but I did look up the line up to find out what his name was. :afro:

Seconded.
