Bands with great songwriting but mediocre lead singer and vice versa

[alaskanseminole]

What about the great singer Freddie Mercury and the songwriters from Queen?

Fat Bottom Girls is Masterful!

I can see that. But I much prefer SP over STP or PJ. But I also love Rush and Geddy's voice.

You love Geddys voice but vedders is nails on a chalkboard. Yikes. Get your hearing checked. I would pay to get rush to stop singing.

Sooo many. Without good music and songwriting, I don’t think you would have ever heard of Mick Jagger, Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, Bon Scott, David Lee Roth, Axl Rose, James Hetfield, among others.

I guess Geddy Lee and Hetfield could have been famous rhythm players.

What would Freddie Mercury know about fat bottom girls?

Led Zeppelin. I’ve always found Robert Plant’s voice to be irritating, and fully understand I’m in the minority on him. Great band.

You trippin

GET OUT OF TOWN!

You may not like Geddy's tone or pitch, but he's always right on key. Note perfect.'

Vedder? He's NEVER on key... he just sort or warbles around it.... like a drunk at the bar. Just horrible.

I knew he had been covers but I had no idea it was that extensive.
I'll check some out, thanks.

Yea, he's probably one of the most covered acts in music history.

OK what in the absolute f*ck?!? Worst post I have ever read on this board full of terrible posts. WITAF

Geddy Lee, Freddie Mercury, Axl Rose and Robert Plant have bad singing voices?

Two of those are arguably the best rock voices of all time.

Is this board for real?

Vedder sounds like he took singing lessons from a dog begging for another milkbone.

Eat shit, Ryan.

Springsteen, Petty, Willie - Great lyrics, not great voices (but they all rule).

Skid Row - Voice, not lyrics

Willie's voice was great until a few years ago.
