Nuk's 20 Worst Singers of All-time..

[Pitty]

I didn't bother looking at the site, or reading anything other than Hendrix.

Videos have been posted, even of Jimi Hendrix.. I think he even goes back stage for a minute to ask his buddy, if his guitar is sounding in tune. Check it out.

Classic deflection when you realize you're siding with a music critic who calls himself "Danimal".

I expect better.

Meatloaf.

I can honestly say that I have never actually finished an entire meatloaf song. I usually turn it off around the 12 minute mark, because my ears can't take anymore punishment. If you get by his awful fucking voice, the music itself, is just so bad, words really can't describe it. If Steve Perry gained 200 pounds, lost the little singing ability that he has, I'd expect him to sound like this tub of shit.

Positives: Absolutely nothing.​

You still sore about Jimi Hendrix?

We've moved on, Pitty. When I release my ''most overrated musicians'' of all-time list, we can continue the conversation in more detail. I might even bring ''Danimal'' along, just for some shits and giggles.

Won't be many shits or giggles, well outside of the template of that website, because that is one putrid blog post. It's called "nothing sacred" aka we get attention by making outlandish claims.

If I was sore, I'd give you a healthy dose of Firsttimer groans, I find it amusing that you stick by "Danimal" at this point.

You shit on Hendrix's singing, but give a pass to Bob Dylan?

Brian Johnson.

The only thing more obnoxious than Jimi Hendrix's out of tune guitar playing, is Brian Johnson's voice. The only real argument AC/DC fans have, and still use today, is ''He was the best replacement they were going to find.'' They released one good album, which was rumored to have been in the works before Scott died. After that we got shit like ''Fly on The Wall,'' ''Flick of the Switch,'' ''Ballbreaker,'' and many many more. It's really not the fault of the Young brothers, since their songwriting and musical style had to fit Johnson's voice.

Positives: The album ''Back in Black''.... But Bon Scott would have done it better.​

:jonesy:

I thought it was common knowledge that Hendrix only covered so many Dylan songs before he died because Dylan's voice and guitar playing skills were so rudimentary.

Dylan did know how to tune a guitar, though.

Gotta give credit where credit is due.

I would if it was true. Hendrix could tune a guitar. I let it go on because it was a running gag, but you're mixing it up with the fact that he couldn't read music.

Ricky Martin.

Even if Ricky Martin's main priority had been making good music, he didn't have the talent to pull it off. Instead, he spent most of his career trying to throw off the media and fans about his sexuality, by disguising his pro-homosexual love ballads with young, attractive actresses. I mean, it's not like we've ever seen that before, right? (George Michael.) Once people started questioning him, his ''career'' pretty much went on the decline. It's actually quite simple, Ricky - It's only three words, ''I am gay...'' or is it ''estoy gay?''

His lack of talent, voice and courage, is enough to throw him on this list, maybe even higher, that's just how awful he is.. or was... whichever.

Positives: Ricky has made great strides with his sexuality.. He went from avoiding the questions altogether, to being defensive about it, to now hinting at his ''bisexual'' activities/desires. Look, I'm not saying Ricky didn't have sex with women, but as Andrew Dice Clay once said ''You either suck cock or you don't.'' Once Martin can come out of the closet, putting an end to this once and for all, he can go back to making terrible music. Look on the bright side, Ricky, it's 2010 - being gay is ''cool.''​

When I was in 6th grade he did that one song I forgot the name of but it was his first song he did... anyway... every girl loved this douche. Fuck Ricky Martin.

Lou Reed.

So, which is it today, Lou? Male? Female? Lou Reed had a tough career, and an even tougher life. It wasn't until his 45th birthday that he discovered his true gender. Once that was out of the way, it was smooth sailing. Lou Reed fans, such as myself, are completely oblivious to the fact that he has absolutely no singing ability whatsoever.. Which is all good, because we're Lou Reed fans, some of the greatest fans in the world.

Positives: Lou Reed has some of the most loyal fans on the planet. Like I said before, we're completely oblivious to the fact that he cannot sing, and 90% of the time he can't even remember the lyrics to his own songs. Lou is a fairly decent guitar player, too....... when he isn't smoking crack.​

Shane MacGowan.

Shane is probably the only ''singer'' on this list, who gained more popularity from his awful singing, than anything else. It's next to impossible to listen to a Pogues song, and understand the lyrics. Go ahead, try.

Positives: ''The Pogues'' were pretty sweet.​

John Ondrasik

Excruciating.

–adjective 1. extremely painful; causing intense suffering; unbearably distressing; torturing: an excruciating noise; excruciating pain; John Ondrasik.

Positives: lol.​

Daniel Bedingfield.

We all know that ADHD is the cause of Daniel's awful songwriting, but I'm curious whose fault it is, that he's also one of the worst singers on the planet? If Coldplay ever needs a new lead singer, I'm sure this guy has plenty of time on his hands. I would suggest taking over for Savage Garden, but that would be an insult to Darren Hayes.

Positives: Are you kidding me? LMFAO @ this guy.​

Pauly Fuemana.

I'm not one to make fun of the deceased, but I'm going to anyway. When Pauly Fuemana released the hot trash ''How Bizzare,'' I almost couldn't believe it. This talentless hack shouldn't have even been popular enough to make this list, but he somehow managed to. My favorite lyrics in the entire song, being the only lyrics I could make out at the time - ''Destination unknowun, as we pull in for some gas..... a freshly (insert gibberish).......... pack.''

I mean, really, ''destination unknowun?'' Am I hearing it right? Now, I could continue bashing on Pauly, but if you wanna know the rest.... hey! buy the rights.

Positives: One less foreign asshole working for Microsoft.​

Tiny Tim.

You'd be hard-pressed to find five singers worse than Tiny Tim, but I managed to do it. If you've never heard Tiny Tim before, it's an experience that you'll never forget, and you will never be the same again.

Posistives: If you think of one, let me know.​

Stopped reading after Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan were mentioned.
.

I'd never compare the great Bob Dylan to Jimi Hendrix, so I'm not sure where you found Bob Dylan on my list. But I did add a spoiler tag for people like you, on my Jimi Hendrix selection.

#5.

Uncle Kracker.

One of the few people on this list, which I know next to nothing about.... and I plan on keeping it that way. Out of all the people listed, this is the only time I bursted out laughing, when I first heard his stuff. I'm not sure who this guy is, where he came from, but if he's released more than the few songs I've heard, I may jump him up a spot or two, because it can be argued that Uncle Kracker is the worst singer on the planet. I should have done more research, because if ''Uncle Kracker'' is the name of a band, then they would have gotten the #1 spot ahead of Limp Bizkit, on my ''worst bands of all time'' thread. However, I'm assuming, like I did while making my bands list, that he's a solo artist, making him a worthy candidate on this list, and probably top 3.

Positives: He's #5, which is actually a positive, because he is just as bad, if not worse than the next 4 singers coming up.​
