I'd vote for Everything Must Go if it were there, just to be an awkward twat.

"The Long Goodbye". I love when he shouts "Guitar!" just before the solo.

His backing vocals in My Little Empire are divine.

I know he "can't sing" in a technical way, but I think he has one of the best speaking voices that I know of, and I think my love for that carries through into not just a tolerance for but an appreciation/love of his "singing" (which I can't help but but in quotes still, haha!). I think he sounds the best on the JFPL stuff - "Marlon J.D." was my favorite song on there after I first heard the album, and when I found out Nicky did the vocals for the demo, I flipped out completely, I love it!
That being said, sometimes he has gotten carried away without a key ("I Killed the Zeitgeist"...oi), but he sounds so unbelievably cute on "Ritual No. 1".

I really love Nicky, don't get me wrong, but it's impossible to choose because he can't sing at all. poor guy

I know some people absolutely adore the man and he quite frankly can do no wrong, but really, vocals? I find it hard to imagine how anyone could actually enjoy his singing or at least his attempts at it. And no, he doesn't sound like Lou Reed so please don't go there!

I'll give him one thing though, he does do a mean spoken word - sounds lovely with his Welsh accent.
I'm with you 100% on that. My dad sings better than that when he's doing the dishes and i always tell him he's shite!
