Bob Marley. Seems like everything he did only worked once someone else performed it.

Terrible answer.

Guns N' Roses

Say what you want about the other members, but Axl is shit, and the they would still be a garage band without Slash.

Jimmy Buffett

("and the Coral Reefer Band" if you simply must have a band.)

(If not, also add: Bob Dylan.)

You stole my answer, Pinback: every introduction I've had to Bob Dylan has been through a cover, then when looking deeper and listening to the original, I have yet to be able to make it through a single song.

I still don't think any of you except Flack understand the point here. This is not "BANDS/SINGERS YOU DON'T LIKE". I thought I made that clear with my first example. Let's do it again:

Primus. One of my all-time favorite bands. Could listen to them non-stop, 24 hours a day. Les Claypool can't sing.

Got it?

No.

It's like an opposite sketch, where I'm the only one not making Pinback mad.

That should be the big giant flaming warning flag to ICJ that something has to be done about this place. I see Flack's name and think, oh good, finally something worth looking at without squinting my eyes like that one jackass suggested.

Dinosaur Jr.

Jay Mascis has a very scratchy and whiny voice and especially on the early albums sometimes wouldn't even be in key. Not like he seemed to care though. I enjoy it for being "unique" I guess.

Talking Heads

Not true, David Byrne can carry a tune.

He can approximate notes well enough to get the song out. Please link to me a song where he can sing.

I think you're all still misunderstanding me. I love the Talking Heads. I love David Byrne! Masterful performer and entertainer.

NIGGA CAN'T SING. It's okay! It makes the songs even better! We love it!

Nigga can't sing.

Sam the Sham and the Pharohs.

In the movie Mr. Holland's Opus, Richard Dreyfuss as the title character, is a music teaxher explaining something to one of his students. Their song, Louis, Louisd is playing on the phonograph. "These guys can't sing. And they're playing the same three chords over and over. And yet I love it. Why?"
"Because it's fun?"
