Singers' voices you cayn't stayund...

That guy from the Chilli Peppers.

I can never quite get Miles Kennedy either, and Dave Grohl annoys me a bit sometimes (especially that opening line "I've got another confession to make". 

Good call with Heather Small (that was her in M People wasn't it)....Arrgghh my ears!

Adele's big honking voice really grated on me on her first album to a point where I just couldn't listen to her but she really improved on her second.I even managed to listen to it all the way through.






Once.

Did anyone mention Sarah Cracknell?  If not I would like to say Sarah Cracknell?  If someone has already mentioned her pissy whiney voice then I would like to second their suggestion of Sarah Cracknell.  If a couple of wise people have already mentioned that listen to Sarah Cracknell's voice is slightly less pleasurable that drilling holes in your penis with a 1" wood bit then I would like to agree with their suggestion of Sarah Cracknell.  If a whole bunch of people have already suggested the 'post being winded by a bigger boy from year 5' gutless delivery of Sarah Cracknell then I will continue to hold out hope that one day Sarah Cracknell may stop and estate agents and banker are forced to look elsewhere before claiming they are really into indie and dance music by purchasing anything baring Sarah Cracknell's name.

Also I really can't stick Sarah Cracknell.

Never heard that album but will seek it out and give it a go.

I don't really like her first album (except for the Dylan cover) but I do like the second one. Her voice is miles better and the songs are too. I even like Skyfall, which I know got a lot of criticism for her pronounciation…

No mention of Axl Rose yet?

Just awful.

Hmm, and I had almost managed to blank him out entirely until your helpful post…

It really is amazing how something so bland and inoffensive can be so annoying, isn't it? Although I'm not sure it's just his voice, the whole band just wants to make me commit violence, preferably on them.

I know this will have shot down in flames, but I genuinely don't like Eddie Vedder's voice. Sorry.

Another possibly controversial one: Stevie Wonder

I genuinely don't like Pearl Jam at all. I know I "should", but I've tried several times and I just don't. Although I don't like Nirvana either, so possibly there is a pattern there. (But I very much acknowledge that they were a hugely important band, and I'm quite influenced by Kurt's guitar playing.)

Agreed too… there are three of his songs I like - Higher Ground, Superstition and Master Blaster - but the rest just grate.

Even 'Lately'? It reduces me to tears - in a 'good' way - pretty much everytime I hear it. An exquisite vocal to my ears.

I was tempted to edit my quote of yours to read:

"the rest? Just great...."

Yes, especially that. Sets my teeth on edge. Odd that it's on the same album as Master Blaster...

I'm going to have to go with James LaBrie. It's like an out of tune, warbly ice pick to the ears...

Florence (of her and the machine) - the yodelling......it's intolerable and otherwise just shrill and scratchy.
