So you have a problem with Ed's voice.  Think it might only work when in a concert setting.  Ok.

Couldn't disagree more.  He has a wonderful, evocative and unique style.

Now I also appreciate sitting around the house on Saturday listening to Dylan, Waits, Young and Costello as well as say Bowie, Mercury and McCartney to name three almost universally agreed great singers.

So Ed ain't your thing.  I love him.

C'mon folks - its only Rock 'n' Roll!
You want perfect notes, perfect pitch,
exquisite enunciation and dulcet tones,
I suggest you go listen to the Three Tenors.
(I'm not knocking Grand Opera, I enjoy
it in its place, which is not on RP, IMHO.
Well, OK maybe "Un bel dì vedremo".)
Eddie Vedder delivers the tortured voice of lost love
perfectly and makes this song a rock 'n' roll classic!

This song sort of embodies a lot of what is so right and so wrong about PJ. Well-crafted and strong through most of its run but then loses in the end to Veder's yodellings. Maybe in a throbbing sea of humanity, flogged by powerful axwork through a long night, those animal howlings might transport you to another plane; listening around the house on a Saturday morning, you hit mute.  I think the raters before me had it about dead on, based on a better than pretty good through much of its run, but no better than a 6.1 due to the mute button at the end. So, not a PJ-hater, but more of a lover-hater. Maybe we could add letters to the ratings. I give it a 6.L-H.

Sat down, put on the headphones and thought I was hearing Aerosmith.

hahahaha... and you know these people who are critical of his voice can't sing... how do you know this? Send me your address, I'll send you a couple of my CDs. Free.

I'm not the greatest vocalist, but I can sing.

Besides, one doesn't need to be a chef to dislike steak tartar.

Simple question pally - Do you like these folks - Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Lou Reed

Many would say "they can't sing"  Where would rock and roll be without them (and Eddie - who IMHO is a fantastic singer) - answer Pat Boone.

seriously dude. what's with the peeps on rp saying eddie can't sing? Is it my hearing or theirs? Richest baritone on the planet and has no trouble whatsoever hitting any high note he attempts! And live as well! Perhaps Ashlee Simpson is more their taste, (oh yea, I highly doubt she can carry a note whatsoever) that's ok, though, us pj fans are more than fine without the haters!

Well, he's certainly no Jim Neighbors!

Listen to the whining bitch guys complain about Eddie's voice who couldn't sing their way out of a brick shithouse...hahaha...
