Ah, yes. The famous province of Calgary.

Because they're trying to give identity to "Truth" and "Robust Hemp," to give them extra weight.

Most of the good vineyard land was largely cleared for cattle ranching 150 years ago anyway. As someone who lives smack-dab in the middle of foothill wine country, most of these places aren't planting every square inch. Gotta keep that idyllic, rustic look for the Bay Area tourists.

Some of these, it's hard to say, because it can be chalked up to "that's exactly what they're going for." Someone mentioned Marilyn Manson, who... I don't know if anyone would call him a "great" singer, but his vocals are absolutely part of his draw. He basically has a selection of voices (abrasive singing, screaming, deep croak, falsetto, hissing whisper) and he changes between them like it's a separate instrument.

I'd put Bob Dylan in that same boat. There's a folksy charm to his voice that's absolutely part of his schtick, but I'm in the camp that says the best version of a Bob Dylan song is when it's by someone else.

My submission would be Cake (dunno if they're still famous. Remember Going the Distance?). There were a number of bands in the 90s who didn't really sing, they kinda talked their way through their songs. Soul Coughing was another one. I liked them well enough, probably because I could actually understand what they were saying. I just hope the singers were also playing an instrument, because everyone else was working real hard.

Yeah there's trolls down there.
