the scene you're talking about is so fucking great

rose parade is an awesome elliott song and should be so easy to sing but he makes it sound so hard haha

Album Rating: 5.0

his voice isn't perfect obv but the spidery thin notes are a big part of the appeal like a ""good"" singer couldn't sing these songs as well as he could it's a Modest Mouse type situation



I'm dying in a vat in the garaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage

well yeah obviously its a part of his charm im just saying hes not a good singer

Album Rating: 5.0

ya you're not wrong

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah he was technically never good but idk if it would've made his music any better if he was. he might've become more popular though and wouldn't have killed himself but that's just speculation

Album Rating: 5.0

nah his depression wasn't linked at all to his success dude I mean Miss Misery got huge and he didn't get any happier

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah sure it's never that easy but i mean he could've been like dylan level huge

Album Rating: 5.0

idk about that he's as good a songwriter easily but the context of their music is completely different, dylan was the voice of an entire generation protesting for like an entire decade, elliott just didn't have a zeitgeist like that to tap into. even if he had got that huge there's nothing to say he wouldn't have killed himself, he might even have done it earlier because of the pressure dude

well he obviously didnt like the idea of being huge - considering the arm cutting incident of Everything Means Nothing To Me

Album Rating: 5.0

Honestly his voice is perfect for the music. Don't need to be Jeff Buckley here

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah his music works the best just like it is, wouldn't change a thing about it especially on the first two records

Album Rating: 3.5

In a lot of genres the best vocalists can't really sing proper

Album Rating: 4.0

kinda like how Conor Oberst can't really sing but I couldn't imagine listening to First Day of My Life without his voice

Album Rating: 3.5

I wouldn't go as far as to say technically accomplished singers suck...but I struggle thinking of too many among my absolute favourite vocalists



Even a dude like Bowie was a very hit and miss singer, didn't hold him back

Tom Waits is another perfect example of that Doof. Imperfections in vocals are what give the music character.

Album Rating: 3.5

Even someone like Jeff Buckley is pretty unconventional and dare I say a little pitchy in places - and that's actually what probably saves him for me. If he Mariah'd perfectly I'd most likely loath his stuff :D

wow cant believe were using buckley as an example guy was probably a better singer than 99% of rock its not just the wailing ability have you seen how he captivates the crowd by holding one silent gentle note - and besides men arent nearly as good at singing as women since women are naturally higher in register hence mote beautiful and clear

Album Rating: 4.0

that sentence just gave me an aneurysm
