    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.

    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.

    Corey Feldman’s Angelic 2 the Core is without a doubt the worst album I’ve ever listened to. It is not just mediocre or underwhelming, it is not just a “miss,” it is actively and unforgettably horrible. Definitely worth checking out.

    Linkin Park and Papa Roach. 2 okISH bands with the worst singers in music history. Shit gives me headaches.

    Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. It’s essentially unlistenable.

    Worst concert, REM when they were starting out.

    Recorded voice that irritates me the most? Dead Kennedys.

    I am, personally, pretty tolerant of imperfect singing if the song is good, think a whole lot of bands just let the best singer they have sing, instead of finding someone who can really sing, and that’s OK.

      It’s funny. I know Jello’s singing isn’t great, yet I absolutely love his warbling voice.

      Biafra is… Something. I can’t say whether or not it works in Dead Kennedies, but IMO it works just fine in Lard. I think that for the ethos of punk music–not pop punk, but the real shit–he’s pretty good.

        I mean, his voice is perfect for Police Truck and Moon Over Marin but every now and again I’ll just… Stop while listening and think “ugh”

    Imagine dragons - cutthroat. I dislike imagine dragons as it is, but this song is so bad it sounds like a bad parody of a shitty song.

    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.

      Because unless you saw them live, where the lead singer was probably drunk, they’re a legitimately good band with a solid discography. It’s not even a Nickelback / Creed situation where the common consensus is to shit on them - they’re just overexposed for their few top-100 hits.

      “All Star” in particular is a self-aware criticism of people who give people shit for listening to Smash Mouth.

      Who needs musical talent? Or … y’know… basic knowledge of music and musical instruments?
