Linkin Park and Papa Roach. 2 okISH bands with the worst singers in music history. Shit gives me headaches.
Really surprised that no one’s mentioned Yoko Ono.
She’s really not that bad if you’ve ever heard Linkin park.
Is there a band called Yoko Ono? I ask, because I’m fairly sure there isn’t a singer.
The Plastic Ono Band… It is not good.
Trickhay on YouTube… Learned about him when he posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a singer for his music. He’s become an inside joke for my SO and I. I think my favorite is “hoop dance”.
I went to see The Offspring and Sublime (with Rome).
Offspring was pretty good though the arena had horrible sound. Sublime was hot garbage with Rome singing. The only thing saved it was the crowd knew all the words so we were all drowning out his shit singing.
Not quite the answer to your question, but Cafe Tacvba. Great music, lousy singer, like that guy says about Red Hot Chili Peppers. Jesus Christ.
Apparently no one remembers Biz Markie.
I’ve watched so much german trash tv where people sing that nothing on this planet can shock me
Pink Floyd is underwhelming for a band commonly labelled as “prog rock”. Most of their stuff is forgettable, albeit Alan Parsons Project came off it, so I guess it’s not irredeemable if it inspired something genuinely good.
Tom DeLonge : Blink-182
Never hit right for me. Terrible voice. Nasally and whiny. Wanna be punk. Men in their mid to late 20s singing about the drama only a 15-year-old in high school would care about or experience. It was weird.
I had no issue with Billie Joe Armstrong and Greenday. I really enjoyed their career and catalog.
Old school blink (Cheshire cat, dude ranch) Mark and Tom had a good interplay, and we’re each suited to the songs they sang. They may still do that but I can’t listen to anything newer than Mark, Tom, and Travis show
You guys ever listened to Corey Feldman?
Red Hot Chili Peppers, best band ever, but boy is Kiedis a bad vocalist. Kudos perhaps for not doing auto tune.
Fleas energy made up for it and the songs are all bangers so it kind of pushed you over it. But if you keep focused on the vocals it’s shit.
When I heard the Tool cover of No Quarter and found out the original was by Led Zeppelin I gave that version a spin too. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.
Reason being that I really like the Led Zeppelin vocalist. But his performance on that song is just unbearable to me.
The Tool cover though, absolutely amazing!
Smashmouth
Hey now…
Guns and Roses in '91 or so. God I loved them so, every song. When we got a chance to see them in OKC, with some band I’d never heard of, Crashing Gourds?, something like that.
We were tripping acid and the crowd was wild, should have been fun. They came out 2-hours late, screamed shit into the microphone, beat their instruments and left. Sometimes I couldn’t even tell which song they were playing, that bad.
And worse, the opening band, who later became wildly popular, was apparently booed. We were late and had missed them.
Crashing Gourds?, something like that
Smashing Pumpkins?
Someone I know listens exclusively to the Beatles on the car radio. From all the Beatles hype, it should feel like a party, but instead it feels like you’re listening to jingle commercials during the whole ride.
Probably doesn’t help that they’re so popular that their music was licensed and became synonymous with commercials.
Same thing with the doors and all things Vietnam.
