When listening to music (whether it's new to you or some of your favorite songs/bands) what is more important to you, the music or the voice? I have grown to like the "different" voices like Lennon, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Axl Rose, Steven Tyler, so the voice is most important to me. Especially with shows like American Idol where a lot of people sound the same, different voices are becoming hard to come by. Music is important to, but for me the voice makes the song and decides whether or not I will give a band a chance.

One example of Voice > Music is Queen, Queen is nothing without Freddie Mercury.
While the rest of Queen are extremely talented, Freddie was what made Queen awesome

Just so long as one isn't really bad, not matter.

To me, a voice can't make a song, but it CAN ruin one.

I've always been more attuned to the actual music than the voice or lyrics. At least most of the time. Not that I hate the voice or anything like that. Just easier for me to focus on that part I suppose.

Iron Maiden are another example of a cirtain singer being important (Dickinson).
While I like some songs from the Blaze era, I'm always thinking in the back of my mind "It's just not the same without Bruce".
