I think a lot (but not all) of Bukowski's writing is more comparable to lyrics featuring some of the rough/darker/seedier/uncomfortable sides of life. Certain lyrics by groups like The Doors, Velvet Underground, Zappa/Mothers, and various others remind me of Bukowski (and vice versa) much more than lo-fi production on vocals. Lo-fi type vocals sound like poorly recorded audio crap to me and make me want to skip to the next track. I just find that type of production tedious to listen to in general.
