Another raspy-ass voice I like that's been ruined (or improved?) by substance use (I presume) is Leonard Cohen.
You know, like Waits Leonard Cohen writes great songs. Did you ever hear Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah"? The Rick Copleland saw Buckley perform the song in in a local bar... Stunning shit... Man, that guy could sing...
You're wrong here...Waits' voice only ges better...
Cohen was a published and acclaimed poet first. His lyrics have what most lack, effort...
Some people can't get past the Waits's grainy voice. It took me some time to get used to but now I find it entirely appropriate. A lot of people despise the voice of Neil Young as at the least out of tune. It's on purpose and on target.
Another guy with a 3-dimensional voice (as I think of it) is Peter Gabriel. He also writes some great songs. _________________ K Michau

I resent the question. I'm the only heathen that I know about here. The rest of them are atheists. _________________ The NSA hates this sig file - I have heard that terrorists Timothy Mcveigh and the Unibomber have contracte Anthrax while visiting George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld at the White House, and are being sent to an Al Qaeda hospital in North Korea for a treatment based on fissionable grade plutonium, paid for by the international drug trade profits of Osama bin Laden.
Anyway - yeah. I used to be much more into rock, but I've mellowed out much more and developed a taste for the classical side of things. _________________

Rock, heavy metal etc But I like stuff like Rob Dougan and Sigur Ros as well. My favorite bands are The Red Hot Chilis, The Killers, Foo Fighters and the almighty Muse
At the moment I'm really into Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros
I've honestly never heard 99.9% of the bands you guys are talking about. Don't have itunes, either. _________________ Americanism -- n. e.g. Who gives a shit??
