well, husky male voices aren't my cup of tea. but that's just me. i want a vocalist that has that clear tone when they sing.

Have you even listened to Roxy Music? Bryan Ferry has the exact kind of voice you are describing. He doesn't have a husky baritone/bass range, he sings in tenor and does it quite well. Be honest you've never heard Roxy right?

it's more of his usual spammiing/trolling

well i like the artsy glam rock of the debut and For Your Pleasure, because of the Eno treatments

without Eno, I can only tolerate the smoother disco-ish Roxy of Manifesto or the laconic easy listening of Avalon

i don't like it much

some songs are just screechy unbearable - Street Life

most sound mediocre

only about one song is good - A Song for Europe

i thought the similar sounding Siren was much better - it at least has the stellar Both Ends Burning
