I did a search !

jcknbl:
Huh?

El Opium:
Someone 'could' listen to Billy Idol.

Here goes:

The Smiths- Handsome Devil- 6/10-  It is somewhat catchy at first, and I do like the guitar.  However, it becomes repeditive very quickly, and the vocals are monotone and rather boring.

The Smiths- Rusholme Ruffians- 7.5/10- I like it.  Upbeat and fun.  However, I still don't like Morrissey's voice, and it doesn't have much of a discernable melody.


Now, listen to The National- Karen

jcknbl:
The National- Karen

I really want to like this because I have a thing for low, untrained vocals. And in general the vocals are pretty good, he sounds like a Paul Simon who went through puberty but never learned to sing.  Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of instrumentation to stand on. I mean if you thought the Smiths were repetitive I can't imagine what you must think of this. 8 for the vocals, 2 for the band. That averages to a 5.

The Black Keys- Midnight In Her Eyes
