but you know what? i love "bad" voices. it inspires me that people who "can't sing" get up and do it anyway, and make stuff i enjoy hearing. think about it -- we're talking tom verlaine, bob dylan, patti smith, vic williams, joey ramone -- these are my favorite people. i'm inspired by their voices the same way i'm inspired by punk guitar.
The first time I bought an 'only ones' album I hated peter perretts voice, okay for one song but so annoying for a whole album, cue sticking the album to the back of the rack, expecting to never pull it out again
a few months later I had a snippet of a song in my head that I couldnt figure out what it was, so I pulled out the album and sure enough it was an only ones song, and a few more spins and I realised what a great voice he has
