Worst singing voice ever - who would you pick ?

[Mikey]

Somebody mentioned Phil Collins a few pages back.

I totally agree ... If it wasn't for his voice I would probably like 80's Genesis.


Just thought of another one ... Leo Sayer ... When I hear Sayer sing I just want to punch someone in the face

[starsky]

dont get me wrong, cuz i have nothing but love for him, but lee majors cannot sing and it pained me to hear him sing the sweet jamie song!!!

[sauce]

It's an interesting question. . . who is the worst singer?
I have been thinking about this for hours now, and I just realized why I cannot answer it -- any singer who I find so bad that I change the dial, well, I just never get to know that person and I move on to something that I DO like instead.

I only listen to music that I enjoy and the rest is not in my universe. I cannot name a single person! I keep trying! .. . . . okay, I stopped trying now. Crisis solved!

I'm going with Janis Joplin myself. Axl Rose almost sounds like a male version of her.

[Mikey]

I know i'm going to get a lot of heat for this one but I can't stand James Hetfield of Metallica.

He doesn't even sing ... He just talks like a wrestler being interviewed

CHAD KROGER <<<< instant channel changer

Amen!!!!!

the absolute worst singer of all time was the spinningly wasted chick that forced her way onstage with my band while we were performing for a Red Bull corp. party and slobbermashed her way through 'knockin' on heavens door' which we were not actually playing at the time. After someone commented on her mixing up Dylan's lyrics with the song that was actually being played, she replied - 'whu.... F Dylan. s'not no Dylan. F'n Axl wrote that song.... You guys suck; but you ROCK' before stumbling off the stage and thankfully disappearing into the warm Virginia Summer night.

I think this is a touchy subject, as there are many passionate music fans
on this board... it might as well be a thread about politics or religion.

With that said... I'll make an observation about this thread,
which is many posters are basing their judgements off of one song
by any particuolar artist... or a "group of songs" akin to the type songs you'd
find on that particular artsist's "BEST OF" album collection,
because that's the selection of songs that the casual listener will have the
chance to hear.

The fact is that most of these artists have 10, maybe 20, maybe even
30 albums worth of material and so the judgements being made are off
of a very small amt. of material percentagewise....

I find that kind of judgement to be short sighted.

... After someone commented on her mixing up Dylan's lyrics with the song that was actually being played, she replied - 'whu.... F Dylan. s'not no Dylan. F'n Axl wrote that song....

"Why is Paul McCartney covering a GUNS N ROSES song?"
(Heard across the world the night Paul played SUPERBOWL halftime)

Mikey. You make me laugh :D. Celine makes me crazy, though i admit she has a good voice she makes me crazy.

[The Bat]

I also can't stand Rush. Way too shrill.

Yeah...that another one of my MOST hated Singers.

[Sowth]

Avril Lagine singing Coldplay's Scientist. When I heard this I assumed someone was being punked. Apparently they were not.

[MegoSteve]

The worst singers are Fred Schneider from the B-52s and Henry Rollins.
