ITT: bands in which the lead vocals are the weakest link
>>131301452Are you the guy who made this >>131300887 thread ?
>>131301458no, just a happy coincidence :)
>>131301452with anybody but kiedis on vocals they would be a shitty pop funk band of no repute. kiedis sucks but he's the right kind of suck for their sound. sorta like fagen was for steely dan
>>131301452They're the worst band regardless of singer>>131301479Kiedis sucks shit and so does the rest of them.
>>131301452Sabbath with Ozzy. That doesn't mean it didn't work for the music, but objectively the vocals were the weakest link in Ozzy-era Sabbath, compared to the rest, I assume that's what the OP meant, if they weren't trolling.
>>131301452
>>131301519Moz is the only thing that made them stand out, Muhammad. His voice is incredible
>>131301500you'll get no argument from me that they suck but the point is that they're not even remarkable enough to describe as bad music without kiedis.
>>131301452Mastodon, 3 singers and they're all terrible which would be ok if they kept the vocals minimal and buried them in the mix but they have them louder than everything up front and sing over every cool riff that would've made a good instrumental passage
>>131301759Brent was ok on records. I like his hick Michael McDonald on meth sort of vibe
>>131301458yes
know what would be kind of cool? if they made a song that was kind of a tribute to California
>>131301908they would never
>>131301500I bet you love Mike Patton.
>>131301536>Muhammadgratuitous assumption, retard
>>131301891agreed but it's also kind of really important to their sound, Feel the Pain would fucking suck if it was oversang
Pearl Jam. I hate that guy's voice.
Most prog bands not called Yes>in b4
>>131304177>inb4ing prog when Devin Townsend existsyou fool
Judas Priest.
>>131304177Jethro Tull and VDGG have great vocalsI agree about pretty much every other band
>>131304072there is no weak link in Slint because everything about the music is shit.
>>131301452there's too many>>131301519can't believe i wasn't the only one thinking of this as firstbunch of good logical answer in this threadlike jethro tullalso thinking of tool>>131304152vedder definitely can sing no matter what you thinkhe has a good voice
>>131306531vedder's voice is one of the worst thing the 90s gave us.hunger dunger dang oooyeah
>>131306620he's a great singerone of the best even
>>131306638no.
>>131301452Sonic Youth
>>131306860Yes.
>>131302247Not at all. RHCP is just the worst band in existence >>131302374You never said I was wrong, dipshit
>>131307148even if I were to grant that vedder is a great singer, and I don't, calling him one of the best of all time is completely retarded.if you suck his dick that hard all you're gonna achieve is a mouth full of cum and nobody taking any of your opinions seriously.
>>131307140Thurston is uniquely terrible but I don’t hate his voice, just his singing
>>131301515Bill Ward wasn't bad but he wasn't that great either imo, gets overshadowed by Paice and Bonham hard. And while Ozzy wasn't technically as proficient as say Dio being a front-man to a rock band is about more than just that. I couldn't be paid to listen through a Dio album and I'd say culturally Ozzy had way more of an impact in the end.
Queen
>>131307456I think Ozzys mournful wailing was perfect for early Sabbath
Rush
>>131301500come on now, I can't stand RHCP's music any more than the next person, but pretending that Flea isn't a great bassist, that Chad Smith is a bad drummer, and that Frusciante isn't tonally gifted to say the least is imo a bit disingenuous.
>>131301452Tons of metal bands
>>131307617get the fuck out of here
>>131307611the thing about frusciante is that if you've heard him on one RHCP song you've heard him on every RHCP song. He's extremely limited as a player, at least in that band. never listened to his solo shit but I hear it gets out there
>>131304177Jon Anderson sucks, his voice is annoying
>>131301515ozzy is my favorite singer even tho he probably technically isn't best
>>131308472I mean you could say the same about Adam Jones in Tool, to which I'd say that just because the horse is dead doesn't mean it cannot take a good beating.
