Creed is just the diet Christian Rock version of Pearl Jamb

Ray Charles beat them all (kinda, sometimes)

MadTV did a good skit about this years ago

bunch of people I know have been calling it "underbite rock" for years, making the face and doing the voice just kinda go together

War leaf. War leaf. War leaf ayyy.

Agreed. If every song I heard had it, I’d grow tired of it, but that’s not been the case for a long time (if ever).

I'd say stop doing it, but since it's karaoke it's almost like you have to do it.

Because it kills the resonance and shrinks the sound. She explains the reasons with examples and everything.

But that doesn't make sense

I'd assume its to achieve a certain style that they the singer find pleasing or complementary to the rest of the bands signature sound.

So you’d rather they just talked?

There's a lot of necessity there. Our natural speaking voices use the throat and lungs in a different way than any singing techniques. And, there's multiple ways of using them to get a desired sound.

So there's some degree of style involved, but past a certain point you have to change your voice to sing rather than just speak in tune (which is still a valid thing of its own)

Fashion. British acts go through eras of sounding American, then sounding as British as possible, then American again.

Often happens when speaking different languages too.

I don't think those two yarl at all. Nor do they have similar singing styles at all really.

The style of Kurt Cobain doesn't resemble Chris Cornells (and vice versa) at all though.

Cornell fries his vocals(lightly) to reach high notes.

Cobain fries his vocals because he can't sing.

edit: ok, fine, cool off, I apologize. I didn't mention that Cornell uses a decent amount of falsetto, and exceedingly well, I might add. Best singer of the 90's for rock was Layne Staley, followed closely by Scott Weiland.

Still tho, love Cornell. Not even joking tho, Cobain works fine in a high intensity band and probably would've done great at hardcore. I just find him kinda forced on slow tracks.

Worst? Henry Rollins. Henry Rollins himself will tell you he can't sing and has on camera.

Yeah, I would say so.
