..what about Andrew Eldritch then?

Qui?

This very old, but very cute and smart guy..

There's a great saying that goes: 'Some people said I couldn't sing. But no-one could say I didn't sing...

He CAN sing & howl, so now please move on....

Yes, you should move on, right..

Distinct voices are often somewhat inaccessible, it can make them great or just a plain fcking noise dependant on your opinion.

Brian Molko sometimes sounds like he's dropping a months worth down the pan but I like it.

While Matthew Bellamy's whine and difficulty in breathing between lines*words joined together not coca-caine is f**king annoying.

IMO

marc almond went downhill after he had formal singing lessons. his technique improved greatly but the passion, yearning and soul went from his voice - compare and contrast the original and the (bland) re-recorded versions of 'tainted love' and 'say hello...'

being pitch-perfect with fabulous breath control isn't the be all and end all.

Tricky.
Has evolved from great singer who can't sing to great singer who spends more time shadow boxing than trying. Awesome though!

Neil Tennant.
Because he is. And anyone who says he isn't is wrong.

Billy Bragg.
As above.

Always wondered who is competent for this kind of judgements. Anyway, I strongly disagree with Nick Cave as a choice, but then I am not competent and I am biased.

I think you have captured the essence here

"passion and soul"

consider... james brown...

There's a bunch of metal / hard rock vocalists that belong in this group, let's say Ozzy (whose vocal expression sucks today regardless, but was great in the past) to mention one of the more characteristic voices.

7/10 on my shelf says something 'bout my taste.

shocking comments from some musical fascists too. Probably as talentless as their words suggest
