Quote from: Storm Rider
Since when did Wright sing anything?


Since 1967? He sang harmonies on Astronomy Domine and lead vocals on about a dozen songs before Meddle. He has lead vocal on the bridge of Time as well...
He does harmonies all the time. On their last album he sung the song Wearing The Inside Out, and did bits of Hey You and Run Like Hell on their last tour.

To be honest, Hendrix didn't have the best singing voice ever. It worked with the stuff he played, but it wouldn't work with stuff like, oh, say, Les Misérables.

Speaking of which, Gary Morris, a country singer who also starred as Valjean in Les Mis, is a total hero.

You can love or hate the politics of Bad Religion.  However one aspect of the bands legend is undeniably superb, the smooth lyrical stylings of lead man Greg Graffin.  With a strong and passionate voice packed with harmony and melody listening to any Bad Religion is a delight to the senses. So turn on, tune in, and drop out and you may find his voice is so great that there may in fact be a god.
