What band\artist influences your vocals?

[gecko zzed]

Three vocalists who have influenced my musical style are:
Chris Rea
David Bowie
Tom Waits

I think like many say, There are artists/people who influence me. But I never attempt to sound like them, Im perfectly happy sounding like myself. as good or as bad as that may be.

Its nice to see people have lots of british influences .

Mine are about as generic as they get:

Chris Martin
Matt Bellamy
Chris Cornell
. . .

I love the Pumpkins, I really do, but I ruined them for myself.

I was playing Disarm on my acoustic one day for some friends at a party, and all of a sudden, I thought, I'll sing this like Cartman from South Park, and throw in some Cartman lines, and... well... there wasn't much of a stretch there. Corgan really, REALLY sounds like Cartman.

He's a great songwriter, though, but now I can't ever hear them without thinking about South Park.

Ahhh I know what you mean! Like where it's borderline scream/singing! My favorite is his last note on "Kings and Queens".... sick!
