12.08.17 Famous Singers with Divisive Voices

Famous Singers with Divisive Voices

These are those singers whose vocals have often been scrutinised as unconventional and unusual, despite their fame and success. Any suggestions hit me up!
1Nico
Chelsea Girl


A heavy tone with strong Germanic diction.
2Bob Dylan
Highway 61 Revisited


A unique voice, but not the most tonally pleasant with occasional more-spoken-than-sung notes.
3Joanna Newsom
The Milk-Eyed Mender


Very high, very nasal. A lovely voice to some but completely grating to others.
4Rush
Hemispheres


Geddy Lee - A high tenor with no nuts.
5Bjork
Homogenic


Frequently placed highly in "best of" singer lists, though unique all the same with her high belted notes and Icelandic diction.
6Tom Waits
Rain Dogs


Went from initially being a standard crooner to possessing a growly smoker's voice.
7Kate Bush
The Kick Inside


Blissfully light high notes with a strong English accent.
8Faith No More
Angel Dust


Mike Patton - Complete with a vocal range wider than Mariah Carey, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't think Patton's voice was a bit...extreme.
9Diamanda Galas
The Litanies of Satan


Undoubtedly a talented singer, but not one most people listen to regularly.
10The Smashing Pumpkins
Siamese Dream


Billy Corgan - not so much "unconventional", though his voice is distinct and, at times, unpleasant.
