OT: Lousy voice, great singer

[meyers7]

Can't believe no one has put the great Tom Petty yet!

Tom Petty's (er Heart Breakers') guitar player. On his own now. I guess he can't sing either.

Mike Campbell & the Dirty Knobs - Electric Gypsy

Doesn't surprise me, but it seems people are posting voices that are cool, distinct, interesting, voices with character, voices with a soul, as opposed to pretty, boring, pop voices.

So I'll play along. (but I consider these voices good/great, not lousy)

A great voice. Sad song.

John Moreland - You Don't Care For Me Enough To Cry

Ok, Bon Scott's voice wasn't great, but it was distinct and fit the band. (and better than Brian Johnson's )

It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock-n-Roll) - AC/DC

Another "lousy" voice. Ok, a bit nasally. Chris Robinson from The Black Crowes.

Covering a Hoyt Axton/Three Dog Night song.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Never Been To Spain

Also with Fleetwood Mac now.

Ok, gotta agree a little on this one. Not a great voice (at least compared to Don Henley). Maybe sounds better through Talk Box???

Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh

John Lombardo of 10,000 Maniacs and John and Mary. Good lyricist and song writer. Not a singer but it works with this song..

 

[Bama fan]

Eno is another who's voice you either love or hate. Plus he did a lot of stuff like this. Does anyone recognize the anagram in the title?

Talking heads???

Talking heads???

I never would have gotten it.

 

[Bigboote]

Talking heads???

Yep; he was in the middle of producing a few of their albums when he recorded that.

BoDeans made a lot of music I like.
Kurt Neumann shared lead vocals in the early days.

OMG I love them. I thought I was the only one..

Another voice in the Bon Scott/Brian Johnson category.
Dan McCafferty of Nazareth

One of my favorite songs. Performed by the only person who had any idea what it meant. Or so I think.

Hate this song. In my top 10 all-time worst songs ever recorded. I mean it's not My Friend Stinkfoot, but it's an automatic turn the channel if it ever comes on. But I digress.

Pentatonix?????? In this thread?????? Now I've seen it all.

If you think raspy voices is a determination of a lousy voice, I give to you Wanda Jackson.

The Queen of Rockabilly. And the Party Ain't Over.

With Jack White. Doing Bob Dylan's "Thunder On The Mountain"

Miss Wanda Jackson

Speaking of mountains. Another "lousy" (unique) voice.

Elle King (daughter of comedian Rob Schneider)

Down the Mountain

I was replying to an earlier version of the song. You’re hilarious!

This post is why I create threads like this.

I've certainly listened to My Pal Foot Foot more times than I've listened to Halleluja in the last several years. And I've listened to Stinkfoot WAAAAY more.

Yea, but looks aren't everything.
