"Bernard Sumner’s is worse"

Spotted recently in www.somethingawful.com's parody column "Your Band Sucks":

Q: Musicians have a history of dying young. If you could choose one musician from history to actually live out their lives until old age, continuing to write music, who would it be and why? -Jeremiah Smith A: Ian Curtis, because as bad as his singing voice was, Bernard Sumner’s is worse.

i'd choose Lena Zavaroni.

Nick Drake

Why ? Well listen to the song "Northern Sky" and decide for youself.

I keep seeing the title of this thread as thinking... 'Bernard Sumner's WHAT is worse?'

For me, definitely Ian - if only to see what sort of direction JD would have gone in...

Definitely the dancing.

Screw him! Ian may not have had a voice QUALITY that was the best, but it had character and originality. And I simply love Bernard's voice.

Er, and Bernard's got a great voice. Don't know what the parody is on about.

Seconded! I hate those parody things anyway. To me, they just come across as really disrespectful.

Jimi Hendrix.

Bernard's voice is lovely and I'm not the least bit biased. Really.
