i always thought the vocals, and the mood they set, were intrinsic to the jesus lizard, but you've articulated an excellent point well enough to make me reconsider...i even slapped on the goat LP to test the theory. apart from occasional terrifying screams that really work (monkey trick), i could easily be won over here.

from the way you've described the argument, do you think part of your idea may rely on separating "vocals" from "vocalist"?

scrap the vocals: the jimi hendrix experience.

van halen, I fucking can't stand there vocals. I still don't know if that would do them any justice.

tomahawk. patton sucks.

black sabbath

90 day men, I don't know if it's two vocalists or one? but the one that sings like a weiner ruins all the songs he sings in, panda park would've been alot better minus the weiner. The one who sings with the deeper voice has got a good voice. If it's the same guy then he should drop that crap.

Yow trivialized their music with his hokey clown act. He blustered his way through every song with the same meaningless schtick and as a consequence all their songs 'feel' vey similar.

It's not that he couldn't sing. 'All my favorite singers can't sing.' It's that every song sets the same mood because of him. And it's not a mood that runs very deep. It's superficial and already sounds dated. This band hasn't aged well for me because of the vocals.

I would listen to this band much more, and take much more from the music if it weren't for the groggy-voiced 'crazy guy' shrieking about nothing all the time.


I'm not offended, but I think you wrong.

Mr. Yow, on his worst night, was an inspiration and a breath of joyful unpredictability.

and fun. He was alot of fun.
But I digress. Please continue with the squirrel circuit semantic debate.
