Yes I think you're probably right, he's not an out of tune shouter, or pitchy, or has poor control or anything, just a bit off centre in his delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 So many great singers that aren't classically great singers already listed here. I love Julian Cope's style and Tom Waits too...Nick Cave is quite new to me (only become a fan in the last 5 years!) but I'd say in similar territory to the first two. Richmond Fontaine frontman Willy Vlaughtin has a voice that suits the little stories in the lyrics of their songs, a classically trained singer couldn't couldn't pull off the honesty and the emotion that Willy's voice gives every line.

Stub Mandrel Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Joan Baez - at least when she's overdoing that blooming tremelo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLowDown Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I always liked Joy Division. Ian Curtis really suited the music, but he couldn't sing for toffee. A classically trained or even a good singer would have been very much out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
