Ouch!
OK you're right, the quality of their voices wouldn't rate them as fine singers, but, I'd say that they were two of the best in their style of singing. I was just listening to Waits yesterday, "Nighthawks at the Diner" was my introduction to Tom and still my favorite.

Ah but I digress. This one will take some thought so I'll have to get back to it tomorrow.

I suppose The Sex Pistols weren't merited for their singing though. Lydon made me laugh when I heard 'Rise' in his Public Image Ltd days. His rhetoric is so over-the-top it makes me chortle (that is unless I haven't fully understood the song). Oddly enough, I do like it though.

Oh, then how could I forget? Boy George, of course!
Then again, it's not as much fun to critique on talent alone.  I'd have to admit that George Michael is a great vocalist, even though he annoys me to end.  Madonna has a beautiful voice based on sound alone.  Sinead O'Connor is gifted with a great vocal range.  I still think of Sinead as '80s because she stole my heart when "The Lion and The Cobra" came out.  Then she turned out to be an obnoxious primadonna (not a pre-Madonna!)
Whitney Houston has a nice voice for pop songs, but her vocal method is waaaay overrated.  That happens a lot in pop music, look at Aaron Neville, sheesh, he's terrible.
I love Shane McGowan as an all around character, but he can't carry a tune in a bucket.  Being sh*tfaced drunk on stage doesn't help!
Tom Waits (not exclusively '80s) has a coarse voice, but a tuneful one with good range.
I was just listening to The Call.  Michael Been's voice is great, in a campy sort of way.  He's somewhere between Elvis and Tom Jones.  So many others, but I'll curtail for brevity's sake.

I like a lot of PIL songs, "Rise" and "This is not a love song" included.  John Lydon distinguished himself from the rest of the 'Pistols with this show of unique talent.  I mean, he's still a w*nker of a man, but a creative w*nker at that!  Jah Wobble has done tons of interesting work in and out of PIL.  I love the sheer dubbiness of "Second Edition." "Flowers of Romance" is excellent, too.  
"Warrior" is a great song.  I liked to think how much Sex Pistols punk purist must have hated it, big synths and all!  "Seattle" was another really catchy pop song, too catchy actually, as it got played to death!

I think I will have a listen to those tracks. Have you heard their 1990 hit 'Don't ask me'. I think it was commentary on the environment.

I always had a problem with PIL's lyrics. For me, they never seemed to scan or say too much (especially Rise - 'what was it all about' to quote his 1990 hit).

Tsk tsk tsk.  If we're talking actual ability, the whole shabang, I can't believe 1 would overlook the obvious.  (I can't think of every1; I'd have to go thru the hit lists to drum up at least 5)

Whitney Houston
Lionel Richie
That girl on the Jets
Donna Summer would qualify since she did have a couple hits in the '80s; another *actual* singer

I can't call them worst but definitely overrated:

Steve Perry (I like him)
Bryan Adams   :P

Guys like this really only have going for them the fact that they can hit the notes - they're not tone-deaf.  But seriously, they sound like they have strep throat (esp. Adams).  That's not vocal quality!
End Quote

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.  But, how could you say that Steve Perry is overrated?  He has outstanding range and can sing any style (rocker or ballad) with ease.  He has amazing clarity and range.  

I guess it's kind of hard to agree with you since you said that Donna Summer (all throat) and Lionel Richie (all nasal) were good vocalists.  Neither of those 2 are in Steve Perry's league.

Of course it's my opinion and yours is yours, that's a given (sorry, I just get tired of all that apologetic "opinion" thing on every Internet forum - we should all know that, it's intuitively obvious, and don't have to say so  :)).

Big surprise - I'm in the minority on this board!  As always.   ::)

OTOH, this said best singers, and to me that means period, the whole deal.  If I can think of people who cover *every* aspect of singing well in the '80s (in this case), I'll list *them* as best singers.  Not the 1s who cover some.

Perry has a voice that sounds like sandpaper.  He can hit the notes and hold them, but it's raspy.

I mite yield that Richie can be a bit nasally.  But I won't yield on Queen Donna.  That girl can *actually sing* - the whole deal:  range, endurance, *clear* smooth timbre.  She had enough plain experience that was almost as good as training, to boot.  Not to mention Whitney Houston.

(Most of these rocker dudes just pick up a guitar 1 day and decide they want to be rock stars cuz it would be way cool.  No1 judges their vocal ability as much as whether the guitars sound hot; rock is much more about guitars than it is voices.)

Put it this way - no way in hell Steve Perry has a chance at an opera rehearsal.  :D   That's ~full~ singing quality.  (BTW, music style has nothing to do w/vocal quality.)  The others are much closer to that option.

So you're rite, Donna and even Lionel are not in Perry's league - they're major while he's AAA.    ;)   (And that's JMHO...)

Stan Ridgeway was the original singer for Wall of Voodoo.  That's him you hear on "Mexican Radio."  I loved "Camouflage."  Ridgeway did some interesting songs solo, but the Wall of Voodoo album "Dark Continent" (1981)was his finest hour.  "Mexican Radio" is also a gem.  His voice is like a cross between Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo, and Michael Stipe of REM.  If I didn't like the music, I'd find it totally annoying.  
I like Mark Mothersbaugh's voice for the for its role in the anti-aesthetic of Devo.
Michael Stipe's voice, his whole presence, makes me CRINGE!  I know people love REM, so I'll spare my remarks.
BTW, the post-Stan Ridgeway Wall of Voodoo song "The Far Side of Crazy" is an '80s favorite of mine.

Let me preface this by saying, I understand if people like something and they want to defend it no matter what.  I really don't want this to be a fight, just a discussion - that gets a bit spirited at times!

The point, again, is that opera (for ex) requires the ENTIRE vocal ability, and that's what we're talking about.  Again, Steve Perry sounds like he has strep throat.  That is not full vocal ability.  I don't care range, hitting notes, endurance, if he doesn't have that *other* quality to boot, it's *not* >complete< quality vocal.

And again, it is immaterial who wrote the songs or what type they are; the question is VOCAL ABILITY in pop music in the '80s.  I will fight tooth and nail against saying Steve Perry or any1 else w/a raspy voice (Adams  aaaaaaaa) has the BEST vocal talent of the decade.

And again, if you read my post, you'd see that I like Steve Perry.  It has nothing to do w/not liking him or what he's done (unlike Bryan Adams, whom I think is overrated in *everything*).  If I could think of any1 I *don't* like and put them on the Best list, I would.  But I can't think of every1.  I'm not much into the acts as much as the songs.  Takes about 4 songs before I'll know an act, anyway!

Oh, you mean Springsteen.  I love Springsteen, not in a Jersey "Bruuuuuce!" sort of way, it's more an appreciation of his POPULISM.  Since the right wing doesn't understand irony, they seized upon "Born in the USA" as a nationalist anthem.  They couldn't be more wrong.  Patriotic, yes.  Nationalist, no.  There's a difference.  Anyway, my favorite Springsteen records are "Nebraska," and "The Ghost of Tom Joad."
I know people who just hate Bruce.  I don't begrudge them for it, he's not for everybody.
The name Springsteen sounds Dutch, but I think he's more Italian.
The Dylan records I like are all his folk-rock albums from the '60s.  I couldn't heap enough praise on him as a lyricist and a tunesmith.  His voice? Well, that's an aquired taste!

But that's just an affect.  I think the intent of most of the Cars songs is to be bouncy and fun, pretty non-serious.  He puts a little Broadway bravada in there, if you will (not the same way, just something that shows/sounds his boisterous enthusiasm?).

If you listen to the ballad "Drive", he doesn't do hiccuping.  So it's not something I think as a defect, just that the hiccup is his way of showing fun.   :)

I agree whole heartedly with your best, now as to your worst...
With Milli Vanilli, are you referring to the fact that they didn't sing at all in the '80s, or to what happened in the early '90s when they TRIED to sing? LOL!  Which one offed himself, Milli or Vanilli?
I have a longstanding grudge agains Al Jourgensen for being a total sh*t of a man, and hijacking the term "industrial music" for his own idiotic noisemaking.  However, when he was doing synth-pop, I found his voice (phony British accent and all) to fit the purpose.  On 'Twitch,' and subsequent work, he used so much distortion, it's hard to call it his own voice.  It's like saying Ogre from Skinny Puppy was a bad singer.  Ogre was, actually.  If you ever heard the final 'Puppy studio album, "The Process," on which they used no distortion, Ogre doesn't 'sing," so much as he talks in monotone!
Anyway, I have to credit 'Twitch' with getting me interested in "industrial music" in the first place.  'Twitch,' however is more of an Adrian Sherwood record than a Ministry record.  Ministry just released 'Twitched,' which features unreleased versions and remixes from that time.  I might buy that one, but I'd like to hear more about it first.
Karen Finley, an overrated and misanthropic performance artist, is less known for singing than the "canned yam jam."  Don't ask, I won't tell! :-X
