singers with bad voice but you like

Dave Mustain. Dunno why, but I like him.

Y'know, I forget where I heard it, maybe one of the DVDs, but I remember hearing something that sounded like this: "If Marillion had changed their name after Fish left, they'd be one of the most popular bands around."

Two names I would add to this list would be Bruce Springsteen and Brian Johnson (of AC/DC).  Johnson's voice sounds like someone is crushing his testicles with a pair of pliers......  So he gets my vote (other).

Pretty silly comment, IMO Hammill sings like he invented the voice. Check out some more Hammill if you disagree, maybe the song House with no Door, that one gets me every time.

"House with No Door" always makes me cry, especially the passage "it doesn't seem right when there's that little dark figure running -. won't somebody help me".

Hogarth could be Ok in a very soft songs ,when  Fish go to other way and enter  HOGARTH   I FEEL A BIG DECEPTION,Hogarth dont have the voice and feeling of FISH ,There are hundreds of singers in prog and not prog music better than Hogarth,..but Hogarth is an excellent composer,teclist and make songs of grand beauty,but I am objetive he have a limited voice,that is going better in each new album ,but never he can be considered at the level of the greatest singers.

I disagree, listen to Memory of Water. Really great singing In My Opinion. Maybe not one of the greatest ever, but no where near bad.

BaldJean wrote: Hogarth definitely is a love or hate man. for me it is hate. maybe he is technically a better singer than Fish, but he can't shine a candle to him because of his lack of expression. with Fish gone Marillion completely lost that little bit of interest I had in them (I was never a big fan though)

I disagree about expressionless, but that's a matter of preference in styles IMO.

This post is accurate, Fish is not as good a singer but a much better performer. Hogarth regardless has no business in this thread because even you agree that he is better technically and that is what the poll indicates.

Why I disagree with the Hogarth emotion comment:
I think Hogarth era Marillion is much more emotional than Fish era, and one reason I like Hogarth so much. Fish era = better musicianship and performance Hogarth era = lack of interest in musicianship and more on style and emotion. Brave is the best example of this with a very wide range of emotions throughout the album. From suicidal depression to anger and back to sadness and an ending of hope. Other examples of Hogarth era emotion include: Ocean Cloud, This Strange Engine, Memory of Water, The Invisible Man, and The Party.
