MattZ Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I think the point of this thread was to list examples of bands that you would like if they had a different singer. As in, you like the music, but not the vocals. Just sayin'. Or put another way, it's hard for me to believe that the person who mentioned Bob Dylan would be listening to "Tonnnnnnny Garnier on bassssss" if not for ol Bobby's vocals.

Atticus Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 I think the point of this thread was to list examples of bands that you would like if they had a different singer. yes. I thought naming it "bands you might listen to more if they had a different singer" might imply this point, but apparently it was kinda murky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Everybody misses out on some great music, period. No one hears everything. And I'm sure there's music you don't like, right? And not just because it's objectively terrible? Vocals are a pretty big part of a song with lyrics, and some people just have voices that don't sound good to other people. Indian food is awesome, but if you don't like the way garam masala tastes, it's not "dumb" to not like Indian food. It's interesting that you just compared singing and indian food. Last week, you tried to tell me I was wrong to compare music and film. Back to thread: UNCLE TUPELO. I don't think I'll ever like Fararr's voice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dtram Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've met people who have this issue with Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin for me. When Plant actually sings, i.e. Thats The Way, I love it. When he screaches i.e. Immigrant Song, I can't stand it. I think I'd have to put Pearl Jam on this list too (ducks) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 tell that to my arse! Yeah I was going to say something along those lines.. I ate at an Indian food restaurant one time, and the curry smell (and the other strange spices they use) emitted from my pores for a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yeah I was going to say something along those lines.. I ate at an Indian food restaurant one time, and the curry smell (and the other strange spices they use) emitted from my pores for week. when i was at university (this was in the uk, as that is where i'm from) i lived in an area that was predominantly asian, and we used to go for meals out to a curry house quite often. what would happen is that we'd walk into the place and they'd look you over a bit - and say "students?" we'd say "erm, yes" (thinking they'd kick us out). then they'd smile and say "excellent - we have special room upstairs for you, with special menu. very cheap menu! very cheap!" so e'd be ushered upstairs to this special room, away from the nice looking decor downstairs. and you'd get a £5 menu mix - plus 1 free beer. which was all you could eat of whatever they brought you - often it was hard to tell. i think whatever got left by the customers downstairs got mixed into a big vat and brought in to us. we didn't mind. but, like i say - the next day, our arses did. although i shouldn't rule out the indian beer!

tinnitus photography Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 tell that to my arse! you put it in your mouth. at least that's how I eat Indian food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 you put it in your mouth. at least that's how I eat Indian food. the correct way is to use your fingers and then place it in the mouth of the person to your left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Speed Racer Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 It's interesting that you just compared singing and indian food. Last week, you tried to tell me I was wrong to compare music and film. You were, in that instance. Context is everything. I don't prefer Jay F's voice by any means, and I think he sounds like a doofus when he sings love songs with that voice, but his "I'm a 50 year-old factory-workin' man in a 25 year-old's body" songs work for him. Well, his voice at least. I think those "I'm a 50 year-old factory-workin' man in a 25 year-old's body" songs are pretty dumb, and the subsequent "I'm a 40 year-old man jaded by Republican politics" songs are no better. But his voice works for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Right! Bruce Springsteen and Jerry Garcia. Never got into their voices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aeglos Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 been a few mentioned already that i agree with but of those i didn't see... a lot of the TV on the Radio stuff has vocals i can't get past always skipped any Pavement song Spiral Stairs sang on and, therefore, avoided Preston School of Industry also just about any song in history where they use a vocoder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dmada Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 robert planteddie vedderjim jamesbob dylan???????wow, just wow!has someone forgot lennon, mccartney and daltrey? There are only three bands whose singers totally irritate me-despite some decent music1. Metallica-hetfield has the worst voice ever-I dont understand how people can listen to him2. the arcade fire-shrilly annoyance3. Liam Gallagher-now I dig oasis, but that nasally whine has got to go!
