I will never forgive Tom Petty for allowing John Mayer to remake free fallin'.
NEVER.
If John Mayer is such a good guitarist, why can't he just stick to playing back up in a band and leave his ugly face and brutal singing out of the equation?
Don't give me the jealousy argument either, because I know what that feels like.
Jack Johnson is a prime example of a lame musician that gives me jealousy induced rage... he lives the perfect life with minimum talent and effort. EVERY SONG IS THE FRIGGEN SAME. Yet, I admire him for being able to do it. Having a beer with him would probably be a very cool experience.
With Mayer, my rage is something different. It comes from somewhere else. It is certainly more pure, blind and intense. I definitely would not be happy sharing a drink with that bag of rotten dink skin.

I really wouldn't say his singing is brutal ... I'd say his voice is quite strong. Maybe not your thing, but I certainly wouldn't say it is of poor quality.
So Josh Groban is rockstar's long lost twin brother (title worthy?) and jammies best feature is long eye lashes then?
Don't you dare!
And Firefly, I stole that expression of someone else (can't remember who, but IIRC 4X4 had quoted it for awesomeness in another thread).
Nothing infuriates me more than the following exchange:
Me: "Oh, so you listen to opera?"
Other person who I am about to lose all respect for: "Why yes, I listen to Andrea Bocelli/Sarah Brightman/Josh Groban."
Even Bocelli or Brightman I can almost allow. But Groban is not an opera singer. Yeah, he sings opera here and there (usually easy, impressive-sounding pieces), but if it was not for his celebrity status, no serious opera company would ever book him. He's got decent range, but none of the vocal depth or character or agility that professional opera singers have; actually, it has nothing to do with opera: the best blues singers, or folk, or country, or rock singers are all able to call up depth and character and emotion. He never sounds like anything other than some professionally trained vocalist who's standing on stage at a charity event or in a booth with David Foster. There's absolutely no subtext, no illusion to his singing. Maybe that's what some people really like.
