Neil Young doesn' have much of a voice, so how come I like him so much, guess it's cause he writes

his own songs, and sings from the heart, sort of like ole Hank Williams did. He wrote some of the

nicest songs, still are being sung today, but his voice wasn't very good, but when he sang his songs

you could hear the passion and truth.

John Ashcroft is in the Bush admin, we performed a song caled "Let the Eagle Soar" a few times back in the early days of the Bush presidency and it is a BAD song sung by a pretty bad singer- it's not really a political joke cos it has nothing to do with anything but AWFUL music performed badly...

And now, I will put in my "real" nomination

I know most might not agree, but the worst "acclaimed" vocalist on my list would likely be none other than Jim Morrison of the Doors.... Mike Nelson (MST3K) said it almost best, describing it as sounding like your dad flipping out in the shower, his voice just sounds like a big square-ish lump of cheese somehow

Neil Young has an amazing vulnerability in his voice. He might not have range or strength but he can can certainly carry a tune and he does give his songs a depth of emotion that few singers can. Young can make you ache and feel good doing it.
Worst? Madonna or that Spears b*tch. Both prancing perverts.

Oh. Sorta like the pasty-faced BC premiere trying to look all homey by donning a checkered shirt, jeans, and trying to play a guitar. The only thing missing was the price tag still sticking to the shirt. lol

I agree. I still like the Doors an awful lot, though.

Never noticed that. Was always too busy holding my nose and trying to emulate him, I guess.

Prancing pervert? Movement has a bearing on how well one can sing? Roy Orbison didn't even blink most performances, but he sure could sing.

Far as Britny goes, I can't say cuz I don't listen to bubblegum teenybopper music.

The singers for the Tragically Hip and Our Ladey Peace. Both awful. Every Rap performer, though they dont sing. Everyone on American and Canadian Idol who try to hit every note in a scale. The never hold just one note! They waver. I guess I hate the diva singing style.

I agree 100% with your last statement, Madonna was such a "tramp" when she first entered the
"star" scene, and now when you hear her being interviewed, or quoted, she has a "fake"
sort of english accent, and pretends to be a very "cultured" individual, give me a break, many
"so called" stars, start out that way, (attention getting I guess), and then later bring on the
"I'm so intellectual and proper" image. It's sickening.
