Smashing Pumpkins. Billy Corgan has got such an annoying whiny drone... sounds like a banshee.
agreed. he nails it on some songs though, but in general i can't listen to him for extended periods.

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world." Herman Melville : Moby Dick
Corgan's voice doesen't put me off the Pumpkins completely, becuase they're an extremely talented band and when Corgan does it right, it's absoutely amazing. But sometimes he takes it a bit too far I think and it just grates on you.
The guy from Kings of Leon needs to tone it down. I don't know what 'it' is but his voice is just annoying. They aint bad live though.
I know a friend who refuses to listen to Soundgarden or Audioslave purely because he absoutely hates Chris Cornell's voice.
Rush is the only one that immediately comes to mind for me.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

lay off morrisey. i dont get why you cant just stick to criticisms of his music, its bad enough without people getting personal! The smiths? Fuckin clown shoes.
I love janes addiction and kinda like the crappy vocals, its suits them...and they are phenomenal live
but i get people's point about Billy. proper whiny voice.
i cant stand bob dylans voice either, for pretty much the same reasons.
And the guy from dashboard confessional
i also get irritated when singers feel the need to show their entire range in one song, aka justin timberlake, mariah carey, celine dion and co
Gis some lanegan anyday...
Btw, why dont people like mjk's vocals? I love cornell's vocals but can accept people having an aversion to them, just about, but maynard? wtf?
Keith Caputo's voice is like nails on a blackboard...
I can't get past it.
His voice is ace on the title track of River Runs Red. Suits the forcefulness

I dislike Buckcherry intensely but I appreciate your sentiment I just like my cock-led rock music to be more original, like The Jesus Lizard (almost literally, singer used his testicles as a percussion instrument )
yet there is absolutely nothing original about oasis or the redwalls.
originality is over-rated. and homophobia is for closet cases.
I think the Tool singer sucks.... not because he's got a bad voice, it's just totally indistinct.

His voice is one of the most unique and recognizable out of any of today's GOOD rock bands.
Umphrey's McGee is an incredibly talented jam band. Their singing doesn't last long but it's terrible.
Dave Matthews Band. I used to love it but now his voice is the weakest part of the band. Can't stand it.

I can't stand Tool or Perfect Circle's vocals.
I don't get why people don't like Billy Corgan's voice,no one else sings like the guy.That's what makes him so amazing.
Oddly enough,I don't particularly like Roger Daltry's voice either,not saying it's bad or anything, I know he's great it's just not to my taste.Possibly because I prefer Ed singing Who songs.
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord

Sorry, I don't agree - it's a pretty subjective thing isn't it.

System of a Down is another big one for me. Serj's voice is so painful.
As for Tool and Maynard, his voice doesn't bother me enough to keep me from listening to them. However, his lack of range is part of what keeps me from thinking of Tool as a great band.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

^There you go that's putting it well. Lack of range. Lack of power. He sings strangely quietly considering the intensity of the music.

His voice doesn't have the range to make them a good band???
....well thank you Randy Jackson:)
I have contended on several occasions that every Tool song essentially sounds the same. I believe Soulsinging has my back on this one. Part of the reason the songs always sound the same is because of Maynard's vocal limitations.

Nod nod.
Strangest Tribe, why does Randy Jackson's opinion have anything to with it. This is my personal opinion. No need to act like God himself disagrees with me.

Ha Ha Ha! I can see not listening to Audioslave, but Soundgarden?
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention Percy

I wish I liked Jim James' voice (My Morning Jacket) because I like the way the band plays, but I just don't like that high a pitch.
Radiohead for the same reason, unfortunately.

I'll second this one. I can't even begin to explore this band because the second I hear the vocals, I cringe.
lol, so true. :rolleyes:

Agreed. I think his voice is really outstanding. I'm surprised to see his name in this thread.
