Great Rock Lisps

Davey von Bohlen
Even better than Dan was Davey von Bohlen, whose role as lead singer of both Cap'n'Jazz and The Promise Ring made him a pioneer of the indie scene in mid to late 90s, specifically on the influential Jade Tree label. This made his unique lisp all the more important, because it made it okay for singers in the scene not to fit any specific mold.

Here's Davey with The Promise Ring singing "Jersey Shore" on 1999's Very Emergency, which might be one of the best albums from top to bottom that I own. Worth checking out, indeed.
