My thoughts on Music

I really need to like the lead singer's voice in order to like the band. There are very few exceptions. I like a smooth timbre in a lead singer's voice. I adore the studio version of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters because James Hetfield's voice is so smooth, yet powerful at the same time. It's beautiful.
I spend a lot of time listening to Aerosmith wondering what the heck Steven Tyler is saying. Similarly, I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters music, also wondering, what the hell are they saying, only figuratively, not literally. In the case of Steven Tyler, I literally can't understand the words a lot of the time. With Roger Waters, I love to try to decipher the meaning. Roger Waters is one singer I can bear to listen to who doesn't exactly have the highest quality singing voice (in my humble opinion). I can stand to listen to him sing because I find his words so profound. In fact I genuinely love to hear him sing, and the Final Cut along with his solo albums definitely rank among the topmost layer of my favorites. I am in heaven listening to him, or watching him sing on YouTube.

Edit: Roger Waters claims to be tone deaf. When I listen to him sing the albums The Final Cut or Pros and Cons, I wonder, how can this be so? I don't know, but I thank God there is so much recorded material from both him and David Gilmour, the band as a whole especially now that Rick Wright is dead, and other artists I love. Am I foolish for feeling gratitude for so many things other people don't even give a second thought to or worse, take for granted?
