On the subject of crap singers, I love The Tragically Hip. Gordon Downey is arguably the best worst singer. It's not necessarily the singer it's what the band and the singer can accomplish together. The Hip have 12 gold or platinum albums in Canada and are still going strong. Rob Baker is an underated multi instrumentalist.

Pete, I do not think Igor was joking. You know some people do like music 
with crap voices. How do you explain the popularity still of Bruce 
Springsteen? He still sells out Stadiums in the USA and has his own channel 
on satellite radio. 

Putting aside the lead vocals, the music is great, punchy and rocks. 
Nothing Heep has done beats the opening riffs of Feelings I know you don't 
like the song "..and you don't even care to pretend" lol! Some of the 
bonus tracks are really growing on me. Anyone notice how powerful, loud and 
pronounced Trevor's bass is on Love Stealer? 

Equator is a different record, the vocals are good, but the lyrics are 
juvinile and it sounds less like Heep with back ground vocals and choir. 
Different World, well it sounded like Heep was trying to get hit singles 
again, and they recorded 10 straight.
