shit! this made me think of The Who. I mostly prefer Pete to Roger.
I do not. Naked Eye might be my favorite Who tune and Pete's verse almost ruins the song.

Yeah...Roger is a much better vocalist. I think Pete Townsend’s voice is a great touch where they used it over the years but that is juxtaposed to Roger’s big wail. Roger fits The Who’s Sound perfectly.

I think Spiral Stairs should have gotten more appearances on Pavement albums. Also, Spiral kind of sounds like Lee Ranaldo when he sings.

'2death's love of Spiral is well documented on this board.

Roger Taylor of Queen is a strong enough singer to be a lead vocalist, just not in Queen.
