[Jonathan & Julie Hart]

Jim's voice, while good, is IMHO definitely not good enough to be a lead
singer.  He doesn't have enough power in his voice.  When he sings lead,
it sounds like he's singing with his throat as opposed to with his
diaphragm.  It works for Smash the Wobbleboard, but otherwise, I don't
think it's suitable.

Jim sings all four songs on the Fuzzface EP (and plays most of the
instruments himself too), read about it here:
http://www.krustyfries.com/fuzzface/
Maybe the Fuzzface songs are available on any of the FTP servers?

He also sings lead on the b-side "Smash the wobbleboard" (on the single
"Underwater").

You sure have got the 'Redneck Wonderland' album, and on that you can
hear Jim sing the choruses of "Return to sender" and "Great gibber
plain" (at least that's what I think...).

He may not have such a good voice as Bones and Rob, but I definitely
think it's good enough for lead vocals (although sometimes a little out
of tune). Many rock bands have lead singers worse than Jim (one example:
U2)!
