I was in Barcelona last summer and saw an exhibition called Trash Culture: The Potholes Of Taste, and sharing stalls besides Ed Wood, Daniel Johnston and William Shatner (his musical career) was Florence Foster Jenkins. Here's a few audio samples in case you haven't smiled yet today. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000003F97/o/qid%3D977297851/sr%3D8-1/ref%3Daps%5Fsr%5Fcm%5F1%5F3/104-5309192-3093553

The guy from the Strokes has a dull, monotonous voice. I've never heard him do anything exciting with his voice. And don't say "oh it fits the music." Well actually ... no say that because the music is dull too. |

Corgan was the first name to come to mind for me too. I think he does as well as he can with what God gave him, though. I tip my hat to SP being a band without a singer among the principals, yet still fun to listen to. I think of their stuff as cool instrumentals with obligatory vocals.
Barry Manilow is pretty horrible too.

There is no such thing.
He made an art film filmed entirely in Esperanto called THE INCUBUS. It's pretty creepy, actually.
My vote for worst singer (and I know people are gonna throw things at me) is Ian Curtis. I'm glad that rat-bastard hung himself. I would too if I sucked that bad at not only singing, but music and lyrics as well.

I'll second that.
I heard a snippet of an album that Sylvester Stallone recorded once. It was beyond awful but he at least had the good sense to not release it because he came to the conclusion that he didn't like the sound of his own voice. Good call Punchy.

Back in 1994, he used to be able to hit some high notes and make big leaps. But his voice is shot now. He's probably the worst singer who makes a huge amount of money. Yes, worse than Dylan.
I still think he's pretty good. Not the best singer around by any means but I still think he has a fairly good rock voice.
He was at his best early on though. He sounds great on Definitely Maybe.

Mun Chien I use to hang out at his house on Point Dume in Malibu every now and then. As well as being a Godawful singer he seems a little crazy.. |

I'm with you, Alicia, I was sat in the cinema just going, "Hey! Its Richard Cheese!"
Anyone unfamiliar, I'd also recommend Nookie/Break Stuff, Holiday In Cambodia or Creep, or his albums Lounge Against The Machine and Tuxicity.
On a similar note, anyone heard Pat Boone's cover of 'Enter Sandman'?

I'll second that!
That reminds me of a little story. It goes like this:
Once upon a time, I met(work with) this girl (39 year old woman now) that I became friendly with. One thing strange I've noticed about her though, was that over the years she'd change her style to whatever enviroment she was most subjected to at that time in her life. This generally changes to suit current man in her life (If they have nothing in common initially they will shortly).
When I first met her (1993) she was this earthy crunchy vegetarian chick, that listened to the Eagles or Chicago and washed with eight dollar seaweed soap. I met her through her roomate and would hang with them here and there.
After an evening of being subjected to way too much classic rock, I tried to introduce them to what I considered good music. Artists like, P.J.Harvey, Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Bjork, Frank etc. I tried but to no avail. They, particularly she, was not into this "wierd" music at all, particularly PJ Harvey. "She's ugly" I remember her saying.
A few years later "alternative" music is all the rave. Suddenly she's showing up with short platinum blonde hair and funky/hip clothing. She would get excited when I'd tell her I was going to see Dinosaur Jr, or PJ Harvey.
The sad part is she appeared to be fashioning herself after that chick from the Cranberries. Someone at work said that to her and with a big smile she replies "you mean, Dolores O'Riandon?!!" (had to look that up).
After a while I couldn't take it any more so I told her she looked like the lead singer from Green Day. She ran to the mirror and screamed, "Oh my God! I do look like Billy (whatever)!" The next time I saw her (two month's) that look was gone.
She's gone through many trends since. The most annoying memory was the night I walked into my favorite joint in Boston and she's sitting there smoking a cigar. That was during that hot trend when it was "cool" for women to smoke cigars.
These days at 39, it's a Volvo and the young urban professional theme.
I just look on in bewilderment and pity.

Dylan's early days were good. As he got older I lost interest (more nasally)

I'd have to go with Jessica Simpson, she's terrible, and is filthy rich because of it. However, that band in the original link is definitely terrible as well. I can't sing worth a shit either really, so I don't know why I'm talking, or the Pixies keep on covering my song... hehe
I mean tiffany and debbie gibson would destroy simpson as the Gunn would assault his guitar with a new freaky solo for stairway to heaven.... |

Richard Cheese is cool for a while, can't say I could sit listening to his songs. Lounge music with a twist. His version of hash pipe is cool.
