Pink Floyd-Yes if you are talking Barret to Waters


Realistically, it went from Barrett to Gilmour/Waters - a relatively even split until The Final Cut.

David Gilmour is, by no means, an elite level rock singer, but very good and better in every appreciable way as a vocalist than Waters or, honestly, Barrett.

REO


Overall, I agree. Cronin was a vocal upgrade. However, Ridin' the Storm Out REO was better than Heard It From a Friend REO by far. Maybe devolving into power ballads was just an 80s thing.

Chicago

Personal opinion, but after Terry Kath’s death, Chicago became too love song heavy and it ruined their vibe. When Peter took over and stopped performing with the brass band, it became unlistenable. IMHO

I'm the opposite. I can only stand so much of the old guy and the horns.

I agree. I was talking about the post Waters Floyd, which I do not care for. Not so much for the vocals but the writing.
