The Wings Over America version is the superior version because he doesn’t sound like a whiny bitch in it.

this thread is hilarious
I offer up a simple premise and give my opinion on two examples from my perspective
over half the replies are people saying my opinion on my two examples is dead wrong, but offer no examples of great songs musically ruined by singers or lyrics in their own opinion
whether or not you think my examples are right or wrong is irrelevant if you have your own opinion on the premise of the thread
I love the cure and the smith FTR and I love these two songs too
but these two songs musically deserve better than talk and moan singing, an all time awful falsetto and “I was looking for a job and then I found a job”
this is the kind of lyrics a 13 year old girl writes
Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on, go on, just walk away
Go on, go on, your choice is made
Go on, go on, and disappear
Go on, go on away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In between without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back, come back
Don't walk away
Come back, come back
Come back today
Come back, come back
What can't you see?
Come back, come back
Come back to me
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In between without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you, without you
Without you, without you

still better than this type of opinion writing in your OP

You went from calling out a particular song by The Cure to calling out Robert Smith wholeheartedly. You undermined your own thread title with that, yet you sit here whining that nobody is sticking with answering just your thread title. When you say something so incredibly stupid such as:

you then open yourself up to criticism with nobody giving a shite about your thread title. I mean, it's like the most obvious thing evarrrrr

Red Hot Chili Peppers - too many songs to name

So your only opinions here are on your feelings about my opinions and you have no opinion on the premise?
It doesn’t matter if you agree or disagree with my examples if you have your own opinion on the premise.
Yet you have made two replies stating you disagree with my opinion and my two examples of songs that represent the premise TO ME.
I am far from the first or even the 1,000th person to represent in the written word that Robert smith writes some total shite lyrics and sings like shite.
He also writes some beautiful lyrics and can sing like a haunted angel.
This is widely known and has been pointed out and discussed for decades. He is a lightning rod for a discussion about brilliance and shite in the same artist. It has been talked about on this very board.
In the song I referenced in my opinion his angsty teenaged girl lyrics and moan talk singing fall FAR short of the quality of the hook he wrote and the music the band came up with for this song. It is still a great song because the hook and music are top shelf.
The irony for me is he wrote the hook and his lyrics and singing drag down his own brilliance. TO ME.

I agree on the second but not the first. i like both bands btw

The Smiths were great, but man… Morrisey... that dude is insufferable. His voice is shite and his lyrics are worse.
Live had some great songs until the vocals entered. Afghan Whigs were another of those bands.

Not every song has to be a T.S. Eliot poem. Sometmes a sentiment can be conveyed simply. Those lyrics are on par with these...
quote:
Money, get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're OK
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four-star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money, get back
I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Ah, don't give me that do-goody-good bullshite

That’s some deep stuff right there. He sang, but to claim Morrisey is one of the greatest singers ever is a stretch.
I will give him credit for having a short stint in a band with Billy Duffy, then with Johnny Marr. That’s pretty impressive.

I don’t care for it, but it is like complaining about a Smiths song that sounds pretty much like most Smith songs.

Most of solo roger waters is what you are looking for. I tried to listen to his stuff over the years.
He has put out some good music ruined by him doing the weird talking, heavy breathing and whispering thing he does.

A lot of Grateful Dead songs by Donna Godchaux. When she'd keep it toned down she could really complement the band. When she started screeching it was just awful.
