Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?


There have been successful singers in almost any style that realistically did not have a "golden" voice.  Perhaps guilty pleasures.  Who are yours?

Roy Orbison “doesn’t have a great voice?”

Wow.  Those are some high standards.

I love the sound of Kurt Cobain, Lemmy, Lou Reed, Roger Miller and John Sebastian’s voices.

I wouldn’t say any of those guys were proficient vocalists, but I’ll be darned if I don’t love the sound of their voices.

Given this is an audiophile forum, I’ll note that the Analogue Productions vinyl reissue of Roy’s Crying LP is knock-yer-socks-off glorious.

And yeah, most singers would kill to have a voice like Roy’s.
