WORST ROCK SINGER OF ALL TIME?
A conjunction of events: We've been discussing rock n roll on this blog. Simultaneously, I was thinking about Wred Fright's first book (originally a long-running zeen), about a garage band, "Pornographic Flabbergasted Emus." This prior to posting a "Three Question Challenge" re Wred, which will be up tomorrow, or next week, or in a month.
With these thoughts in my head, I heard on the radio a Jackson Browne song.
Is Jackson Browne the worst rock singer ever?
To me his music always was very mealy wimpy as un-rock as you could possibly get.
Is he worse even than the likes of Kelly "Caterwaul" Clarkson and James Taylor?
Let me know.

you've hit the rusty nail on the head.
Archetypic'ly as stinking sexually predatory smarmy "fulk" dead-head hands down t'wld hav'ta be Brown...
As far as old JB goes, I must defend him as I kind of like "Lawyers in Love" and that "These Days" song is amazing (which is probably why it's been covered so many times over the years--my favorite version is by Nico; quite honestly, it makes me want to cry sometime--something about those chords and those lyrics mixed with her voice). I don't own any Jackson Browne albums, but maybe I should hit the thrift store and pick some up. I think the only reason I never have is because I had heard he beat up Daryl Hannah when they were dating, but I guess that's a bit disputed "these days" so maybe I'll hit the thrift store (or at least YouTube) soon (I will not hit Ms. Hannah though, nor should Mr. Browne). My vote for worst rock singer is Pat Boone, but I must confess I did listen to his In A Metal Mood album once or twice, though for the most part I've repressed my memory of him singing "Crazy Train" (by doing a heavy metal album, he did finally outweird Little Richard, which maybe was Boone's penance for singing such a sexless version of "Tutti Frutti").
Don fucking Henley. "Desperado" is one of my favorite songs, but no one else has foisted such a volume of whining, toothless, insidious crap on the eardrums of the world. He gets my vote.
I think of guys like Browne and Taylor as separate from "rock" - not my thing, not trying to be my thing. And I like Taylor as a guy.
