Al Jarreau
Gregory Abrams

the dude from Alice Donut

oh what a dump.

I used to hate Efrim Menuck's voice (ASMZ), but it has grown on me over time (especially since I've seen them live)

A few of my personal favourites. We differ in many ways, slavo.

As far as Bjork goes,i respect her a lot as an artist but i could do with her making only instrumental albums.The only song her voice shines on,as far as i'm concerned,is 'Unison'.Now,that's lush.

being ironical does not excuse the defence of shakira. she makes a weak, a-tonal cartoon goat impersonator sound vital and melodic. gash. utter gash.

Are you using ironical ironically?

dido, god the blandness!

mariah careys voice goes all through me like nails down a blackboard.

brian molko's another that just infuriates me beyond belief, as is that guy from muse and whatever the singer from the manic street preachers is called.

i could go on but i have to vacuum my room.

James Dean Bradfield. Know your enemy indeed. Two particular moments stand out as appaling in his oeuvre: the chorus of Australia and that 'when our smiles were gen-o-win' line from that other song. I still quite like you love us mind.

jon boy

10.31.2006 06:31 AM

pretty much anyone who sings with a fake accent is liable to be given a severe frowning. that guy from rancid springs to mind. plus there are so many people trying to sound similar to kurt bloody cobain its not even funny.

Eddie Vedder sux so bad, but he's "inspired" so many others. I hear Eddie's influence all over the place and I DON'T FUCKING GET IT!!!!! Fake honky soul.

Wow Porkie, some controversial picks. I don't agree with all of them, but I can see how some of them would not be appealing to everyone's taste.

I really can't stand Kate Bush.

I'm hurt and offended by this. I would've accepted cunt, twat, mongoloid, spacker, nonce, prick, pleb or windowlicker, but idiot/retard? That's just low man.

You're wrong, by the way.

most of the people you consider good singers and worthy artist wish they could be as awesome as this guy.

and sorry, i have been subjugated since day one by shakira since back when she was a lard ass alanis morissette clone and she's been always had that agonizing animal emitting sounds from her throat.

Depends.I was listening to 'Not The Same' and his voice really shines on that one.I agree that his voice can be annoying though.The phrase 'Neil Young with pneumonia' springs to mind.

the guy from the dead c. worst fucking vocalist ever....

I haven't bothered reading the first three pages but the winner (loser) is Robert Plant. His voice is shit and annoying and he sounds exactly like he looks.

By rights i should hate both Grant Hart and Bob Mould's voices but i don't.

Anyone who sings in that low goat Vedder-esque style (creed, zak wylde etc). I can't think of any worse style.

I could possibly commit suicide after listening to Dennis DeYoung's singing...

I'm usually pretty tolerant as far as vocalists go, but if I hear anything involving Conor Oberst I have to wash my brain out with a few harsh-noise records.
If were going to attack popular artists who we'd never go near anyway I'll say the guy from everclear and Stephen Tyler both annoy me greatly.
...and why are you listening to the Dead C if you care how the vocals sound?
