Atticus Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 a friend of mine sent me an (apparently) old Kings of Leon song the other day, and I kinda liked some of the music, but I can't get around that guy's voice. I used to have this problem with the Flaming Lips early on, but I grew to love Wayne. I've met people who have this issue with Led Zeppelin do your thing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Radiohead - music is a bit interesting but not a big fan of Yorke's singing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Definitely Kings Of Leon. I would probably give the music a chance if I could get past the vocals.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've been pondering this question, but the truth is, I haven't thought of any band that I would definitely listen to more often with a different singer. If I don't listen to them already, there are probably additional reasons for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Built to Spill. Love the music, can't stand Martsch's voice. I still listen sometimes, but it's hard for me to get past. Also, to a lesser extent, The Hold Steady. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Great topic! i thought of all of those mentioned...built to spill, kings of leon, radiohead, hold steady. i would add band of horses to the mix as well as iron and wine. it's really too bad about this. especially kings of leon. their first few albums are produced so well. i just don't get the lazy vocals of them. and thom york borders on annoying. the dude from hold steady doesn't sing at all. i've thought of them as the mighty mighty boss tones with out horns;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Dr. Dog Both singers? Great topic! i thought of all of those mentioned...built to spill, kings of leon, radiohead, hold steady. i would add band of horses to the mix as well as iron and wine. it's really too bad about this. especially kings of leon. their first few albums are produced so well. i just don't get the lazy vocals of them. and thom york borders on annoying. the dude from hold steady doesn't sing at all. i've thought of them as the mighty mighty boss tones with out horns;) I can't imagine Radiohead or The Hold Steady without those singers. They are a large part of the appeal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Both singers?Unfortunately, yes. I still dig the band, but the vocals prevent my enjoyment from soaring. I'll second Band of Horses, too. Lucero is another one that comes to mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 All Van Halens that don't have Mr. David Lee Roth Television may have benefitted from a different vocalist, but I still love 'emcan't believe no one has whined about j mascis (and his, ummm, whine)but I still love 'em MC5? On the other hand, what about singers who maybe makeup for a bands limitations...... The Furs come to mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
