groups ruined by the singer
have you ever liked the noise a group makes until the singer comes in
![]() and thought you'd have been a fan if only they'd got rid of the bloke on the mike. I always felt that way about The Cure, who had decent songs all ruined by Smith's whining. And the Stone Roses could have been ok with better vocals too |

Not a ''band'' as such, but I always wonder what some Bob Dylan songs would sound like with a better singer.
![]() But his vocals do suit a lot of his songs. I couldn't imagine Like A Rolling Stone without his snarl.

I agree. I love his songs when covered by other artists, most notably Jimi Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower and the Neville Brothers God On Our Side. I find Dylan very difficult to listen to but can't deny what a brilliant songwriter he is.
Agreed. Adele certainly knew what she was doing when she when she covered Make You Feel My Love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH3HMBhzSag ![]()

Later Pogues recordings, before Shane called it a day, long after he should have done. They aren't comfortable listening.
Edit: also, live recordings of Lou Reed doing Velvets songs which were originally sung by Nico. Shouty and crap, although I like a lot of Lou's solo material. |

I love the Sugbabes but when Heidi sings, i go to sleep on her bits. Her voice just doesn't blend it with the other three girls (even when it was Sugababes 2.0 and 3.0). She isn't vocally gifted. It's no wonder she has sung the least throughout the Sugababes history.

I disagree, Robert Smith does not have a whining voice he has a nice unique voice.
I don't particularly like Amelle from the Sugababes' voice, especially when she was in the line up with Keisha and Heidi ( whose voices I did like). |

I want to like Duran Duran but Simon Le Bon is a very weak vocalist. Shame coz some of their songs are brill.

Also, The B-52's - the girls are AMAZING vocalists and then Fred comes in with his pseudo chatting rapping talking - whatever it is - and ruins a perfectly good song. Proof is that their best tunes - Roam, Dirty Back Road, Summer of Love, etc, etc are the ones where he doesn't contribute.

A group not so much ruined by the singers voice but by the singers attitude. Guns n Roses. He destroyed them

Duran Duran would be a good band - a great band - were it not for Simon Le Bon.
