Favorite singers that, although you like them, scare you.

I was on the metro earlier today, deaf to the world with music from my iPod, and I started listening to Nina Hagen. I admit I like her a lot, but then I stared at the picture of hers that I got for album art and I shuddered. This got me thinking, NSG, are there any singers or artists for that matter, that even when you like them, they scare you?

Mine are:
Nina Hagen
Der Graf (Unheilig)
Alexx Wesselsky (Eisbrecher)
Till Liederman (Rammstein)
Dir en Grey´s singer
Sakurai Atsushi (Buck-Tick)

Scatman John (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mpHLEm9-0bg) - awesome and fun, but he seems creepy to me.

Bjork doesn't really scare me, I just find her disturbing. And disturbed.

Tricky scares me. He's freaky looking and so damned talented!

Henry Rollins 15-20 years ago would have scared me. Not a man to mess with.

Tom Waits scares me. He has an aura of creepiness about him.

Iggy Pop 30 years ago wouldn't so much have scared me, just freaked me out with his intensity and energy.

Nick Cave, just cause he's so effing weird-looking.

22.22 recurring % of the letters in his name are completely superfluous. That's not cool.

I also like Tori Amos, a lot. But she scares me a bit sometimes. The power she shows when playing the piano is fucking scary!

James Blunt

The only thing scary about ol' Blunty is that with all the gun owners in the world no-one's got round to shooting him yet. People's lazyness and wrong priorities scare me

No, he isn't, a lot of Radiohead's music is pointlessly conceited and/or terrible. Pablo Honey, anyone?

Eh not to my eyes.

Some of his music isn't that terible. Listen to 1973 from All the Lost Souls. It's actually quite good, and went global Number 1

He was in one of the more elite paratrooper formations, I think he might win :tongue:

I'm just going hope that you all missed the "favorite" part.

Anyway, Angel Gossow (of Arch Enemy) doesn't look like that much in pictures, but it was simply unreal to see her stomping around the stage and bellowing over the crowd like some sort of psychopathic dinosaur.

Bjork. I think I ever hit on her, she'd snap off my penis and club me until I got brain damage. But she's got a super-cool voice.

Wayne Coyne. I imagine him grinning cheerily even as my body inched further towards the magnificently enamelled flesh-grinding machine he keeps in his brightly coloured house.

And Tom Waits. Anyone with that voice has seen some terrible, terrible things.

Joe Cocker. His convulsions on stage are unnerving.

Then again, he can win over even the most hardened skeptic when he's on his game.

Ute Lemper. Great voice, but the eyes, they are too intense. Also, she loves the leather pants a little too much.

Frank Sinatra because he probably could have had you killed. Ian Curtis was quite unnerving. John Martyn has always felt like he was capable of violence if he took against you.

I thought Andy Gibb was cute. It's sad that he died so young, besides, he wasn't in the Bee Gees.:p

i'm totally baffled as to what "scare" means in this context.

i mean, most of the music i like ether sounds strainge or is about strainge things.

a lyric that prepetuates mundaneness to me borders on offensive.
that's why i don't generally like genre's that romantacize aggressiveness, (such as 'country' and 'rap').

but what's to be scared of, other then being brainwashed by it, about a recording of someone singing about something?

maybe scarry that a lot of people might be brainwashed by it. this is more a problem with 'talk radio' then with anyone singing about anything.
