songbird Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Eva Cassidy She's number 1 posthumously in UK apparently with What a Wonderful World The first time I heard Eva on the radio, I literally stopped what I was doing and stared at the radio... the song was "Autumn Leaves"... ugh, just beautiful. She died so young too, such a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achilleslaststand77 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 there's prolly gonna be a few on here that have been on most people's dislike list John Lennon Paul McCartney Robert Plant Freddie Mercury Mick Jagger whichever Van Zant was on Skynyrd (I get them mixed up and I don't feel like looking it up... I think it's Ronnie tho) Roger Daltrey Any of the Beach Boys I like Tom Petty's voice especially on Free Fallin' I also like Axl Rose... it's not nearly the most refined voice but GNR's wouldn't sound like GNR's without that screech of his don't mind Bruce Dickinson either least favs: Jimi Hendrix..... he's a great player but his voice just isn't the greatest.... although I give him kudos for singing and playing unlike most guitar legends Kurt Corbain..... I like some of Nirvana's songs but his voice isn't my favorite to hear Brian Johnson live.... it's AC/DC so the music's great, but I've never really liked his vocals live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

songbird Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 ^ I really like Don Henley's voice too. edit: Interesting to see so many who dislike Jim Morrison. I thought I was the only one on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Worst Vocalist of all time: that dude from Coheed and Cambria. I'd been blessedly and purposefully ignorant of this band until last week when I heard one of their songs on rock band. I thought it was a joke. runner up(s): Every frontman AC/DC ever had.

Kissandra Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 guy from Nickelback guy from Creed all those guys that sound like the guys from Nickelback and Creed guy from Our Lady Peace Add these to my hated list, too . I don't know about Michael Bublé. And I can't stand Michael Jackson's voice...ugh. I also don't like Mick Jagger or Jim Morrison's voice. I'm still missing tons more. Oh my god, yeah, Brian Johnson--I hate hate hate his voice. Let's see...who else do I hate...oh, that guy from the Mars Volta, the guy from Wolfmother, the guy from Coheed And Cambria, Jack White. My list goes on and on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterwitch Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 My favorite male vocalists are probably Scott Wieland, Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell (wow, am I showing my high-school-in-the-90's grunge influence or what?). Least favorite... I'm sorry, but I have to say Robert Plant. I just never have liked his singing voice! Favorite female vocalists would be Stevie Nicks, Susan Tedeschi and Sarah McLachlan. Least favorites... ugh, well that's easy. Britney, Jessica, Asslee (I mean Ashlee)... any of those pop princesses. Puke. Edit: ACK! How could I forget Layne as one of my favorite male vocalists?! And Travis Meeks. Sheesh, I really am starting to lose my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borincano43 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Favorite: Robert Plant Freddy Mercury Eric Clapton David Gilmour Roger Waters Steven Tyler Least Favorite: Stevie Ray Vaughan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Oh shit...Brian Johnson should have been right on the top of my "shit list". He's so bad I blocked him out of my memory, I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Favourite: 1. Maynard James Keenan 2. Eddie Vedder 3. Thom Yorke 4. Wayne Coyne 5. Chris Cornell 6. Serj Tankian 7. Beth Gibbons 8. Robert Plant 9. Anthony Kiedis 10. Jeff Mangum 11. Satomi Matsuzaki 12. Trent Reznor 13. Josh Homme 14. Kurt Cobain 15. Raine Mada Least Favourite: Any sort of punk vocalists, because they sound like 13 year old suburban douchebags Any sort of corporate pop artists like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, etc... I also intensely dislike any of those cookie cutter singers that come out of American Idol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsteps of Dawn Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Favorites: Robert Plant Thom Yorke Jarvis Cocker Maynard James Keenan Dan Auerbach Chris Cornell Mick Jagger Muddy Waters Grace Slick Jim Morrison Roger Daltrey Jack Bruce Janis Joplin David Gilmour Joan Baez Not so much: Geddy Lee (god he makes me want to go postal) Neil Young Axl Rose The guy from The Mars Volta/At the Drive-In (but I still love TMV) Ditto on Nickelback/Creed clones (lol!) All hair metal singers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Perry Farrell should be on my least favs. The guy sings like a prepubescent kid taunting "nya nya nya nya nya" made even worse with the doubletracking. Michael Stipe has the sheep bleating vibrato ala Eddie Vedder also. Can't stand Springsteen's fakey "New Jersey cowboy" accent either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarlaxle 56 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Why, why oh why? Hey, I realize some people might not like that style of singing. I find it hilariously awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterwitch Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I don't know what fog my brain was in the other night, but I forgot to add to my list of favorites: Solomon Burke, Etta James, Koko Taylor and Albert King. And of course, Otis. Who can help loving Otis, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockthing Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 favs: Robert Plant Son House John Fogerty Marty Balin Shishido Kouji Joni Mitchell Eikichi Yazawa (70s-early 80s) Drew Emmett (as of last week) MCA/ Mike D/ Ad Rock KRS One Burning Spear Bob Marley (tho it's probably Family Man's bass that makes me like the Wailers) Fela Kuti (he's not so much a vocalist as an agitator, I guess) Astrud Gilberto Bing Crosby (I know that's askin' for trouble but it's so close to xmas) Frank Zappa (The Central Scrutinizer!) Debbie Harry Olivia Newton John (pre Physical) Jerry Garcia (70s-early 80s) Tina Turner The Four Tops The Tempations Sam Cooke Whoever the girls were that sang the harmony vox on all those old 40s big band numbers. James Chance Darby Crash ^ this is getting a little out of control. They can't all be my favorites! def. Plant Fogerty Mitchell Emmett Yazawa and the male Motown sound. least: Graham Bonnett (by far my least favorite) Mars Volta (I'd really like them if it weren't for the vox, tho I like Plant, this guy's too much) Soul Coughing singer (bad trip) STP/Velvet Revolver singer (boring) I'd like Dio if he ever wrote any decent lyrics (Man on Silver Mt. and Long Live R'N'R aside) Joe Lynn Turner Green Day singer and all the singers from bands that sound like that. Jeff Buckley (really gets on my nerves for some reason) David Coverdale (I'm a Mark II kinda guy and Coverdale is like school on Saturday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knebby Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 She's number 1 posthumously in UK apparently with What a Wonderful World Kind of. It's a fake "duet" - like the Natalie/Nat King Cole thing - with the achingly awful Katie Melua. Never thought Eva Cassidy could be hard to listen to but put anyone alongside Katie and look what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS1 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 So much hate for Bob Dylan! I used to hate Bob Dylan- but then again, I used to hate the taste of beer. I acquired a taste for both of them. Dylan is undeniably an acquired taste, but much like beer it is a taste that is utterly fulfilling once you acquire it. The man is the greatest song writer of our time. Others may sing his songs in sweeter tones, but no one embodies the songs like Dylan does.

Uugh yeah I can't believe I forgot Brian Johnson.... *barf* Kind of. It's a fake "duet" - like the Natalie/Nat King Cole thing - with the achingly awful Katie Melua. Never thought Eva Cassidy could be hard to listen to but put anyone alongside Katie and look what happens. I've never heard that version of What A Wonderful World, I only know the version of it from Eva's "Live at Blues Alley" recording. And I've only ever heard one Katie Melua song, Blues in the Night. I like the arrangement of it but she doesn't have much of a voice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
