Bob Dylan- brilliant songwriter but should never have been allowed near a microphone. he sounds like a sick lawnmower.
Madonna- can’t sing. If you listen she just does the old trick of shouting a bit louder in lieu of actually being able to hold a different note.

I heard Dolores came over all Hollywood when the Cranberries got on telly with their first album.
Bought a castle in Limerick and was promptly run out of it a year later for not carrying a knife like normal Limerickers apparently. Or acting the big-un. So I’m told. I admit it would have been easy with Dolores to be just the wrong side of cruel during lovemaking. Aye.

That one Adel has a nice voice but looks like something off a Tv3 exploitation “documentary” on the obese…

The girl from soft lounge-jazz covers band Nouvelle Vague has a great voice and turns out to be a cutie.

Direct quote from a sound technician with access to the closed loop the Spice Girls used to ‘mime’ (moan?)into- ‘It was like listening to a bag of cats screeching’.

The last word in each line is….. delayed.

My lazy-eyes-dyslexia caused me to read that as:
“The lead singer of The Stone Roses sounded much cuter than she actually was.”
weird..

I had a good poo and the man arrived eventually, so it all worked out. Apart from him being a tardy cunt, like…

My brother was always playing that song by the sundays where she talks about gettin’ her cherry plucked for the first time..drove me mental I have to say. I was listening to Iron Maiden at the time so…y’know…touché.

Hmm, he sounds more than tardy. Tardy sounds like a little bit late. Half an hour plus a poo is a lot late.
Robert Smith? Can’t sing? Oooooo, I won’t have that. May you be struck down with something , hoah.
Dolorous O Riordain… ugh. I can’t even think about it.

something unpleasant I meant to say, but maybe ’something’ is more scarier in its infinite possibilities.

I’ll bet that was a relief!

The Sundays gave birth to half the godawful music played in supermarkets!

But hey, what about Tracey Thorn from Everything But The Girl?
-When it comes to ’singers born for the radio but definitely NOT for the TV’, that one takes the (dog) biscuit.

Oh man, poor old Tracey. She’s no Arthur Mullard, that’s for sure.
August 28th, 2008 at 10:46 pm

Natalie Imbruglia is possibly the most beautiful singer ever.

Yeah Fred, still into the recycling then?

Nouvelle Vague sounded sexy and all French and cool and spliff smoking even though it was all re-recorded 80s alternative and we all knew that. And we were right, it’s probably just Sony BMG trying new ways of getting our money…..

Natalie Umbrella is flupping lovely. In fact she looks far more lovely than she sounds and that is saying something.

Ah yes angel-voiced Harriet Wheeler, although I think a lot of boys liked her, based on scenes I saw at a gig of theirs years ago. They played the Tivoli and the show had to be stopped at least once due to crushing and general fanaticism. A late teen/early 20s indie boy near me spent the gig wringing his hands, sobbing and constantly wailing “Harrr-iiiie-etttt!”
