I just heard "Nothings Gonna Stop Us" by Starship at the grocery store. Grace just straight goes too far at the end of the song. Jesus. It was so frightening that I was mesmerized right there in the produce section.....

Anybody else think of any?

Love me some CCR but Fogerty's howl can be a bit much in several Creedence songs.

My friend used to say that Steve Marriott sang every song as it it were The Most Important Song In The World.

But I think he meant that in a good way. I know that I do.

Listen to "Afterglow Of Your Love" for a prime example.

Or listen to Humble Pie's Eat It for proof that he meant it in a bad way.

'All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" by Heart indeed qualifies

(Or, as my brother used to sing when this was full force on the radio 'All I Wanna Do Is Take A Bat to You')

also, in the words of Busty "eccch"

The end of "Hey Jude." I hold McCartney personally responsible for the worst qualities of Aerosmith (I know it's hard to tell which are the worst, but it's mostly the constant "yeah-y-ya-yeah-yeah-yeahhhhh" crap).

That was one of the first Heart songs I ever heard. Can you really blame me for hating them for years afterwards.

"Baracuda", "Crazy On You", and "Magic Man" on the other hand are pure genius.


Oh gosh... I just remembered... the Queen of over-the-top vocals performances = "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" - X-Ray Specs.

When I think of over the top vocals for some reason the first thing I think about is people over-singing the National Anthem.

I fucking hate it when people think they can whip out their best Boys II Men/Whitney Houston impression when singing it.

Just sing the fucking song like it was written. This isn't American Idol you no talent hack!

That's funny. I once heard a bootleg of Plant doing Immigrant Song and he sounded like Tarzan with throat cancer.

Hall from Hall and Oats over did it a bit (on a few things) @ the end of Maneater I think.

"The woman is wild OOOOOOOOOOO"

But I'll listen to that song ANYTIME it comes on the radio.

One of my main pet peeves of this era. Christ, I was at a funeral a few months ago and the biatch singer went all American Idol on "Amazing Grace". I was ready to frisbee the Book of Psalms at her.
