Not really, no. I meant that the quality of the vocals were about as 
important as the colour of the jumpsuit.  The fact is, he's singing in a 
silly way.  He's also wearing a jumpsuit.  The latter would, I hope, help 
you in coming to a judgement about the former.  The quality of the singing 
is such a minor part of the whole package.

>If the vocals suck, I usually won't bother to investigate any further.

I wouldn't agree, to be honest. And I don't think it's relevant with regard 
to the Darkness.  It's obviously a reason why you don't like them, but you 
don't seem to have the thing in your head that counters this by saying, 
"It's a joke; they don't have to be great at singing. It's still funny.  In 
fact, it's funnier because of the ludicrous falsetto and posturing."  We're 
just wired up differently.  Vivre la difference.
