Ah, Billy Bragg
Superb songwriter, very under-rated guitarist and sanctimonious idiot who is far too fond of the sound of his own voice.

Billy Bragg gigs got painful at times because the bastard stopped with the music and just ranted.

There are a lot of singers I like who have terrible voices.
Leonard Cohen for one, and the guy out of Galaxie 500.

I find Dylan overrated.
And there are a lot of singers where I can't get past the horribleness of their voices.

Tom Waits and Neil Young for instance.
