I'm sorry, I really don't think he's a good singer.

Looking through a couple profiles, it's funny that some of those that are crapping all over Richard Butler's voice are the same folks that rate Neil Young's stuff very highly. I'd guess if asked, they would then claim that voice is not what makes the song good or bad... go figure.
I like Richard Butler and the Furs... I don't like Neil Young. I suppose we've all got our own opinions.

I've always marvelled at comments of this nature - how do you know whether or not somebody sings with passion? It sounds almost as if you judge the passion of somebody's singing by whether or not you like it.
Did the fella from Coldplay tell you his singing was empty? Did this fella singing this track tell you he was singing with passion?
I happend to like this song (for nostalgia value), and I happen to like Coldplay. But I can't judge the passion of their voices just by sound. You can put a lot of passion into taking a dump, too, you know, but I can't tell by the stink alone.

For all those who don't like his voice, I will admit it is gravely and earthy, almost too much, but at least the man sings with some passion, not like so many of the whiny and otherwise emotionally devoid singers you hear these days (the guy from Coldplay comes to mind - pretty, but ultimately empty).

All the negative comments really surprise me... This isn't half bad. I quite enjoy it, and it's nice to hear Butler again.
