What band most suffers from having a terrible vocalist? Like these bands might have some talented musicians but then the lead singer starts singing and you have to tap out

I think it’s zeppelin for me, would be nice to just get an instrumental version of all their work

I think Robert Plant has a great voice.

Led Zep is Amboy Dukes without Plant
ETA: great question, but i cant think of anything sung as badly as those options

Smashing Pumpkins?

Can't believe this didn't make the poll. Let's throw Dave Matthews Band in there as well. Love both but I know both would be mentioned at some point.

i'm still of the opinion that i could write an LCD Soundsystem album once a month for the rest of my life but, even if they were as good as y'all think they are, Murphy's voice & presence sinks that leaky boat

Axl Rose. Instead of replacing the guitar player they should have replaced him.

Sammy Hagar has a very strong voice. His style might not be your cup of tea, but he has the pipes.
When the Van Halen demo tapes made their way through the record labels, the immediate criticism was Dave's voice being the weak link in their sound. It was only when seeing them live that Dave's showmanship proved his value to the band.

Sammy Hagar is fine. He's different than Diamond Dave, but he's just different is all -- still totally fine. I'm not a big Led Zeppelin fan, but their inclusion on this list is baffling. Robert Plant is an interesting vocalist to listen to.

My problem is guitar players who think they can sing when they can't. EVH, Carlos Santana, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck don't have that problem. But some do.

He’s definitely terrible but I don’t think of them as a band. Bruce could just as easily grab any random bar band and be just as terrible
on the other hand, an band like U2 is just all around terrible and didn’t qualify for the pole

They were the one that prompted it, I liked them when I was younger, now Plants voice just grates on me, especially anything higher pictched

Geddy Lee is the Jerry Rice of bad vocalists.

In all seriousness, is that where the hyphen generally comes to denote something? Something along troubadour lines? That's interesting.
By the way, you might appreciate this. Just got, through the mail, an audiophile copy of Van's Moondance. It sounds freaking awesome. From 1979, a hot stamper that cost a decent amount to get in good condition. Half mastered from analog and certified fresh.

The only thing that gives me pause about this is nobody deserves what Tears From/In Heaven like he got. That's just awful, and truly sad. But I can't listen to a single thing the man has done solo without complete, wigged-out boredom.

Dylan's phrasing was a huge part of it, too. The way he delivered the lines. That's a much more significant piece of vocals than a good voice. Give me Waits, Dylan, Prine, Berninger (gasp!), et al over the Paul Rodgers every. #######. day. oftheweek.

Thanks, man. A little worn, but from '79, so we'll call it broken in. Just figured you'd appreciate it. I'm on a Van kick right now. About to order Veedon Fleece.

I like his cover of Jesse Fuller's San Francisco Bay Blues. And Bell Bottom Blues. And Layla, of course. Otherwise, I prefer him as a band guy, not a band leader.
