Good Song/ Bad Singer

Mad World by Tears for Fears. The more recent cover from Donnie Darko shows how the song should be performed.

Recommend the covers album by the Beautiful South, a whole CD of songs that fit this thread.
 
Rockin In The Free World by Neil Young.

Great song and a voice like fingernails on a blackboard.
 
I also disagree - he needs a good song to be involved in this thread! :)


Right, you are on my blocked list for a week. ;) The man was a genius, you telling me Little Red Corvette is not a good song, When Doves Cry, Sign of the Times, Raspberry Beret, Kiss?? Most artists nowadays would kill to have a 10th of his talent.

I hated Prince, really found his stuff awful; without exception. You'd probably hate the music I love.... each to their own!

A band called the Chromatics did a pretty good semi cover of this recently - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSycSBYHitc


My shout on this would be Video Games by Lana Del Rey. Think it's a brilliantly written song which could potentially have received more credit if sung originally by someone else.
