Question

What bands do you like, but you also think the vocals are somewhat annoying?

Answer 1

Coheed and Cambria.



Their vocals could likely be used to help me remove the paint from my house.

Answer 2

I used to wonder why I could never really enjoy listening to more than a few Talking Heads songs at a time, since I always really get into the first two or so, and by now I'm pretty sure it's David Byrne's vocal delivery...

Answer 3

GEDDY LEE (Rush) fairly seems to be a Love or hate subject. individually, i think of he's spectacular , yet hi. ok, undesirable vocals: Any of that emo sh*t that's been tainting the call of rock for the previous couple of years. Yeah i comprehend, it may nonetheless be undesirable whether we shot the singers, yet God it in simple terms makes me draw back each time you pay attention 'yeeeeeew' stretched out over 20 seconds fifty 4 instances in line with track in an excruciatingly reliable American accessory. For f*ck's sake adult men, it fairly is reported 'you', easily it fairly is not any longer thaaat confusing.

Answer 4

I'm really rather fond of the band Inkubus Sukkubus, but there are times when singer Candia Ridley's vocals can go a bit 'off'.

She's ok, but not as good as many of the other female singers in my collection. But, catchy songs, good lyrics, and enthusiasm for her subject mostly makes up for that

{though they have had a couple of lyrical turkeys...}

Answer 5

It reminds me of when my friend got the Scott Weiland solo album because in an interview close to its release he said he was the only man alive who could save rock and roll (we laughed a whole lot about that, for weeks). So he buys the cd, pops it in the car stereo, and the first song starts with about 8 bars of an instrumental intro. We're nodding our heads, "alright, this is ok." Then he starts singing and kills it. Skip to song two, "pretty cool, alright" he starts singing and kills it. Track three, track four, five, six, seven, all the same exact pattern, eight, nine, he opens the window and throws the disk out on the freeway.

Answer 6

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Rush

Answer 7

xTyrantx



Most of the time if I am annoyed by the vocals, I can't listen to the band at all.

Answer 8

I never liked



LED ZEPPELIN

Loved the music but I could never stand Robert Plant's voice or his presence. But as in all music, that is such a subjective matter.



I agree with the persons mentioning DREAM THEATER. I do love their music a great deal, and I love LaBrie's voice, but just not for that band and type of music. I wish they had a singer like Hetfield....



OPETH......

I am surprised I love them so much, I can never stand growling etc...because it kind of scares me, but I guess their music is absolutely mesmerizing, so I don't even seem to notice the vocals sometimes. When I listen to Heir Apparent....my whole body is in goosebumps and the symphonic quality they have is simply sublime. Thanks Sarah C and Smiley for recommending them to me!

Answer 9

The Cure



Robert Smith has the whiniest, annoying and sometimes off key voice I've ever heard, yet it fits their music so well. And they can still beat down any of the emo kids coming out of wazoo these days..

Answer 10

Devo

Dead Kennedys

The Meteors

The Polyphonic Spree/Tripping Daisy (same vocalist)

The Sex Pistols

Silverchair

Answer 11

Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Metallica sometimes. .

Answer 12

It's funny how GEDDY LEE is always brought up in these 'vocalists you hate' questions. Personally I think he's fabulous. He's got a love or hate voice I guess.



MEGADETH - Simply can not stand Dave Mustaine. Shame, because they have some really good music - but he's just too much.

Answer 13

Smashing Pumpkins, Linkin Park, Guns N' Roses and Megadeth.



Muse sometimes gets on my nerves too.

Answer 14

Fly Leaf

Coheed & Cambria

The Darkness

Answer 15

Hot Water Music



Great band, but Chuck Regans' voice is a bit much for me sometimes.

Answer 16

System Of A Down

Answer 17

AC/DC - Sometimes his voice is as electric as the bands name. Sometimes he's clear as a bell.



ZZ Top - Come on, the band is great, but the vocals for La Grange almost sound like he's trying to sing through a kazoo. The other songs are so much better, but I think this qualifies for that one particular song.



Cold Play - I'm sorry, good band, terrible vocalist! 'Nuff said.



Thanks

Answer 18

Nickelback.

Answer 19

Duran Duran

Answer 20

Virgin Prunes

Sex Gang Children

Answer 21

Grand Funk Railroad

and then the whole slue of bands like Kansas Boston Uriah Heap,

Kansas and Boston, I guess I don't like anyway. Heap, could have been cooler with a rougher voice.

One of my peeves of Classic Rock, all that weeny sounds, that are marketed today as classic rock. And the tons of good stuff that looses out.

Glass Harp (Phil Keagge, highly acclaimed guitarist) with weeny voice syndrome.

Rory Gallagher, Not weeny but close.

Keagge is misspelled like crazy by many. It could be misspelled wrong here.

Answer 22

Aldo Nova



He's a good musician, but sometimes his vocals are kind of annoying.

Answer 23

Disturbed (Like their music but the singer has got to go)

The Darkness (Could be a better band if they got rid of that D*mn singer)

Answer 24

Pearl Jam

Bob Dylan can be annoying occasionally

MGMT

Dave Matthews Band

Nada Surf

Answer 25

Smashing Pumpkins. :)



But the vocals don't annoy me /all/ the time.

Answer 26

i like the offspring. but i can not stand his voice sometimes. whenever Kristy Are you Doing OK? comes on the radio i want to throw the radio out of the car

Answer 27

Megadeth - They're better than metallica,and Dave is a thrash god and one of the best rhythm guitarists in the business but his voice is an acquired taste and that's putting it nicely.

Answer 28

DREAM THEATER. Musically the gods, but the vocalist really is somewhat superfluous.

Answer 29

Several come to mind...Lol. Here's a few from the 70's progressive rock genre...



'Flash'...featuring original 'Yes' guitarist Peter Banks. Great early 70's progressive rock band, but I could only handle their vocalist Collin Carter in small doses. Good thing many of their compositions were mainly instrumental. Once you get past his voice, the instrumentals are great by the way...

Mid 70's US progressive rock band Pavlov's Dog also featured a vocalist who had the most distinct and original sounding voice I'd ever heard...but it still grated on my nerves...David Surkamp...

Answer 30

Dream Theater!!! I love them so much! they are easily the best in the world at their respective instruments. but James lebrie (singer) needs to go away. his vocals kill it hard.

Answer 31

i luuurve Melt Banana, but although the vocals form a very distinctive sound within the band... they can start to grate after a bit...

Answer 33

AC/DC with Brian Johnson..

Answer 34

REM, Sting, Smashing Pumpkins

That was the case with Slayer a couple of years ago.

Conor Oberst sounds like he is underwater when he sings

Rush. Sometimes Geddy Lee's voice gets on my nerves, but I like Rush anyway. I even saw them in concert when I was eight months pregnant!

Answer 40

Hello!



I love 'Oasis' but I wish they would ditch Liam, Noel writes the songs and sings them a hell of lot better.

Also 'ACDC', I'm afraid Brian Johnson just isn't my cup of tea

Answer 41

Hey Bud!!



Meshuggah - HANDS DOWN



Jens sounds like a Grumpy Old man yelling at the top of his lungs



HEEYYYY GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF MY COOKIE JAR!!!
