It saddens me that Kurt Cobain has been mentioned twice in this thread. The guy was a decent songwriter, but he was a horrible vocalist and an even worst guitarist.
Because their favorite singer was a horrible singer. That saddens me. It's kinda like a person going through life believing that McDonald's has the best hamburgers. It's just sad.
David Gray is fantastic. (Hell of a performer) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGm5z8sJAFM&feature=related Dave Matthews is unique as well. (unreal performances as well). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rx3-EdkjwA
