Hate is a strong word, especially since I own six AC/DC albums. Pointing out their flaws was just a good way to plug Thin Lizzy, much to Ross' delight.

I love Janice Joplin, but I'll admit that you definitely can't listen to her if you're in a certain mood.
For me, metal bands with falsetto singers are a definite no. I appreciate the musicianship of bands like GnR and Led Zeppelin, but with the exception of singers like Geddy Lee, Brian Johnson, and the singer from Iron Maiden, I can't appreciate the high-pitched wail.

So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |

So then do you like Sebastian Bach?

Thin Lizzy are pretty underrated, yeah. Most people can probably only name one song by them, "The Boys Are Back In Town", and that's pretty sad. What's even sadder is that some people think the lyrics are "the toys are back in town", because they only know the song from the Toy Story 2 trailers.

If you guys want to get into Thin Lizzy, listen to the songs 'Hollywood', 'Waiting For An Alibi', and 'Cold Sweat'

I think there are far worse singers than Janis Joplin and Geddy Lee. I actually like Rush alot, and the man can sing well, it's just not everyones style. See I hate Axl Rose alot, but GnR is a pretty alright band. Janis Joplin and her band were doing things way ahead of their time, but that doesnt change the fact that she could not sing very well, and people often confuse her smoky blues tinged raspy voice as innovative, when its mostly drug and alcohol tinged. Same for Jim Morrison (Dead Junkie) Jimi Hendrix (Dead Junkie) and so on. The music lives on, but man, those voices are way overrated.

Don't forget Emerald. That song is an absolute beast. Cowboy song is good as well, but the whole Jailbreak album is killer.

As much as i enjoy when he sang rather than Hetfield
Jason Newstead sounds like he's gargling razor blades and steel wool, while chewing on marbles.

Steve "Lips" Kudlow. A terrible singer for a terrible band.

Metal on Metal is epic win.
Varg Vikernes- Sounds like he's making (sweet, sweet) love to a porcupine under a blasphemous, frostbitten sky.
Lemmy- Sings like a frog with emphysema.
Chris Barnes- Sounds like a demonic toilet bowl.
Bonn Scott- Take Freddy Krueger and scrape his fingers on a chalkboard and you get Bon Scott.
King Diamond- Rob Halford - vocal talent + helium + clown make up = King Diamond
Seth Putnam- Dry anal rape that your eardrums can enjoy.
Pop punk singers- Whiny douchebags crying about getting it up the pooper.
Country singers- I don't think H.P. Lovecraft could even describe this sort of eldritch horror.
Tom G. Warrior on Cold Lake- sounds like a drunken frat-boy trying to sound like Vince Neil.
Geddy Lee- Robert Plant, only worse.
Just for the record, I enjoy the music associated with the above "vocalists" (pop punk bands and modern kuntry muzeek types excluded)- especially Burzum, Rush, and Cannibal Corpse.

The singer of Hammerfall. He sounds like Manowar's Eric Adams after castration.
In fact, I'll go a step farther and say that Hammerfall sounds like Manowar after castration.

Reviving this thread because I have someone new to complain about.
After hearing "Piano Man", "Uptown Girl", and "River Dreams" (in order of increasing degrees of suck), I have to say that Billy Joel easily has one of the worst voices in music. He's a passionate, singer, yes, but he seems to be one of those unfortunate souls that assumes he's a good singer because he utilizes enthusiasm with his voice rather than something that actually sounds pleasing to the ears (case in point: that "FYE-YEEAAAEEEYYY-YYEEEEAAAAEEEYYYY noise in "Uptown Girl"). Bette Midler is also guilty of this kind of singing.

I never realized Billy Joel was a bad singer because I was always too repulsed by his shitty music to notice.

To be fair, "Why Should I Worry" from Oliver and Company is pretty great. It's the only thing I really like from him - other than his super hot daughter.

Living on Long Island where most people worship Billy Joel's music sucks a lot at times. He sings about dumb shit people who grew up in this area like. The guy is also a high grade piece of shit asshole.
