David Byrne
Jamie Stewart

Van Morrison
One time I met Bob Dylan

>real fucking hungry
>go up to hotdog stand
>ask vendor for one wiener with all the works
>reaches open the metal door on his stand
>Dylan pops his fucking head out
>"Holy fuck, are you Bob Dylan? May I have your autograph, sir?"
>'I dunno, man, order your hotdog and I'll see how I fEEEEeeel about it'
>"but sir I already ordered my hotdo-"
>he starts rubbing sauerkraut and relish on my crotch
>"No one will ever beliEEEEEeeeeve you"

Van Morrison sings well he just has an annoying voice.
>>61263421
i know that Dylan is not actually a bad singer and a bad guitarist, but he's far from being a good singer. He's more in the interpretation, the way he plays with the words, the charisma etc
Obvious one but apparently is voice was actually good on in utero but he struggled on nevermind and bleach
Well, i think he's my favorite singer-songwriter of all time. But now i face it, he has never been much of a singer. Fortunately, he's a genius, then it saves the game.

I'd say he had the potential to be a god-tier singer but he was too busy taking drugs, drinking alcohol and screaming
>>61263379
Is that adam Sandler?
>>61263469
Tom waits is an incredible singer
>>61263511
it took him years to be good tho, on the first album he's just alright
stephen malkmus
>>61263523
wtf man? the guy is actually in the top 10 of the greatest singers in pop music
I'm surprised we made it this far without Jeff Mangum
>>61263559
best answer itt
jmags is actually remarkably similar to Bob Dylan, only replace melancholic humor with surrealism
>>61263421
Have you seen him in the last 5 years? You can't understand a word.
>>61263523
Actually he is a great singer with an annoying voice
Mangum for sure
>>61263682
>5 years
lol dylan has been famously terrible live for the past 35 years
Dare I say Bowie
>>61263786
nah mate
maybe on earlier albums but definitely not in the mid-late 70's
>>61263682
I actually saw him live on '14
At least he knows he can't sing the 60s stuff so he changed his style
Nick Drake
Tim Buckley
Nico
Me, Michael Stipe, Michael Stipe and I
>>61263878
wtf man Buckley has a fucking amazing voice
Elias Ronnenfeldt is the prime example
>>61263407
>Van Morrison
Nigger what? He has one of the greatest voices ever.
Neil is one of my favorite artists but his voice can be off putting at first.
>>61263878
tim?
rE3EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>61264883
this is just ridiculous
have you even listened to Life on Mars or Heroes?
Having a unique tonality doesn't mean you don't sing well
>>61264645
not to sound gay or anything, but i wanna fuck him
>>61264919
Hey man, it's not gay to wanna fuck this guy
>>61264917
Yes, or i wouldn't be posting him. I think he has the greatest voice in music and he is my favourite artist of all time, but he does not gave the cleanest or most accessible voice.

anyone know what that kind of hat is called? Need to know what to search for
thanks bb's

This. Especially with those first 2 records, he really knew when to use his voice on St.Zion albums.
>>61265125
he's not wrong
despite the music he makes, he's not wrong
>>61265125
Bob Dylan himself has said he can't sing.
