Here's a "pretty faced" lead singer for you...
I have to say, that I really don't agree that the lead singer of any particular band is just "in the way." It does happen, but really, IMO, most bands that fall under that category, don't really have much of a band in the back to start out with. The vast majority of bands in that situation, are CRAP from front to back. Dean Martin could be singing, and it wouldn't do a damn thing for the "canned music" backing him up.
"Good music" as far as I'm concerned, is hard to find anymore. Not much has been made in quite some years now that has really had anything to say to me. As far as vocalist music goes, you can't just sing well or be catchy to have my attention. You've gotta write some lyrics that amuse, or interest, or incite something. Not just f*ing words.
Oh, and video games rot your brain. Just look at Bob...
