When I sang people said I sounded like Morrissey, and/or David Byrne. I also got alot of Lou Reed, when i didn't feel like singing, and like talk/sang. I honestly don't believe them.

I don't sing any more. I never wished to sound like anyone. I just sang because at that time, girls that sang (in a rock band) were non-existent. I just sang cause no one else would.

If you're speaking tonally.... probably a mix between Daniel Johnston, Craig Nicholls, and Kurt. Jack White and Billy Corgan punctuation wise.

On some days I can pull off a mean J. Mascis, at least quietly. Normally I sound like a cross between Thurston Moore and Ira Kaplan, except with much less control.

I neve really worked on my voice, so I don't sound like anyone good.

In my dreams, I'd be a thick-voiced yet sophisticated Blues/R&B/Soul belter like Jimmy Rushing or Bobby "Blue" Bland... or have a magic gravelly voice like Howlin' Wolf or Beefheart.

When I'm singing in a band situation, I generally sound like an unguided missile launched into a semi truck full of bicycle horns. Not good.

When I'm singing quietly, I can do a mean baritone on "Reunited" by Peaches and Herb.

I'm not sure which is worse.
I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.
