The Annoying Voices In Music

[Guest Flyboy]

What are some of the voices in music that are truly horrid?

 

Axl Rose. I mean... I love Guns N' Roses more than UYI, but geez Axl. I guess that's the result of getting anally raped by your father.

 

 

Alanis Morissette. I love her music, but sometimes her voice just irks me.

 

Feel free to add on.

[Guest Incandenza]

Morissette's a good choice. I'd add Celine Dion. Why in the hell is her histrionic banshee wail considered "good" singing?

[Guest Flyboy]

Morissette's a good choice.

I knew you'd like that one.

 

I was thinking of you as I was typing it.

MACY GRAY

[Guest Flyboy]

I don't know how I forgot her.

 

I thought of this topic as I was listening to one of her songs.

[Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye]

My mom says that Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth's vocals sound like Goblins fighting over roast beef.

 

Personally I would have to second the sentiment on Macy Gray, along with Celine Dion.

[B. Brian Brunzell]

Most Annoying Voices:

 

Macy Gray

Alanis Morrissette

Fred Durst

Dave Matthews

 

What the Hell is the lead vocalist for Queens of the Stone Age? His voice drives me bonkers. Same with the guy from The Vines.

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

Well hello Billy Corgan. yes your voice did give me cancer. Awful shit, one of the few that makes me dive for the volume control in horror.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

"BABYGURRRRRRRRRRL!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

-- Ja Rule

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest Flyboy]

Great addition, Kotzen.

 

Ja Rule always sounded like Cookie Monster to me.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Chris Carabba from Dashboard Confessional. Christfuck he makes me want to just punch him in the face.

 

I for one think Josh Homme (QOTSA vocalist) rawks, but that might just be because I'm terrified that the bassist might rip my throat out with his teeth if I say otherwise.

Ooh, the guy from Dashboard Confessional is brutal. I too would like to punch him in the face. Or at least kick him in the nuts.

 

QOTSA's bassist looks a bit like Scott Ian. Ian would kick all of our asses at the same time.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

QOTSA's bassist looks a bit like Scott Ian. Ian would kick all of our asses at the same time.

I though he was Scott Ian for awhile, until I realized that he was simply another scary dude. Huzzah for scary dudes.

[Guest El Satanico]

Ozzy

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

I second Danni Filth. Oh, and the guy from Cannibal Corpse.

[Guest Respect The 'Taker]

I love Guns N' Roses more than UYI

 

IMPOSSIBLE!!!

[Guest Flyboy]

Hahahahahahahahahaha....

 

 

 

 

Yes. I do.

[Guest Respect The 'Taker]

Okay, i refuse to argue with a fellow GNR fan.

 

Your right, im sexy, its settled.

[Guest dreamer420]

Macy Gray. I can't stand her.

[Guest spiny norman]

As much as I love her, Madonna's voice can get a little bit irksome at times. She has the habit of sounding like a mouse, gets really high and squeaky.

 

Same kind of goes for Diana Ross, but on a much smaller scale; Ross's voice is really great, but sometimes is just a little squeaky.

 

Roy Orbison: He just kind of goes up and down too much. It's not so much his voice that irritates (how could it?), but the style in which he sings, where he suddenly jumps seven octaves.

 

I love the three of them, don't get me wrong. I'd agree with everyone on this list though (except Morissette is fine, because her songs suit that voice, a bit like Dylan).

[Guest EricMM]

Whiney high pitched rock singers.

 

See: Tom from Blink 182. Singing on First Date... My friend sings along and he must TRY to be annoying, but he patterns his singing of tom so it's constant whining. I pace when he sings, because I'm tempted to fight when he sings...

[Guest redbaron51]

Macy Gray

Lead Singer from the Vines

Thom Yorke (how is that good singing if he basically whines)

Fred Durst

Paul McCartney (I loathe him)

Yoko Ono (no one mentioned her yet?)

[B. Brian Brunzell]

Paul McCartney (I loathe him)

Yoko Ono (no one mentioned her yet?)

Ok dude, you win. Nobody can POSSIBLY top Yoko Ono. She's are putrid and vile as it gets.

 

I loathe Lennon much more than McCartney. I think Paul McCartney is the definition of the words "musical genius." Too bad he never passed his brilliance on.

 

Anyone rememerb Missing Persons? That chick had a pretty Goddamned annoyed voice.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Axl Rose in some songs, Fred Durst almost always, but

BILLY FUCKING CORGAN bothers me the worst

[Guest bravesfan]

Listening to Alanis Morisette, actually does wonders for your brain.

 

It softens the cranium up, so that bashing your skull in with a baseball bat, after listening to one of her albums, becomes more of a reward than a chore...

 

Uhh, yeah. And Tom Delonge from Blink 182 (Geez, it's like he's begging you to leap through the stereo and rip his vocal cords out of his throat.)

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

In my opinion there is no voice in rock music worse than James Hetfield. Yes, I mean that seriously.

 

He's worse than Dave Matthews, who I LOATHE

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Agent, coming from a person whose music tastes mostly feature some random fat guy burping about killing somebody and playing with their intestine, you must know that your opinion on singers isn't worth a shit

 

Hey, I say it because it's true.

 

 

 

 

I must say that I need to add Chris Barnes here. He's had SOME good growls in the past, but one listen to Graveyard Classics makes you want to kill him for ruining "Purple Haze" AND "Smoke On The Water." Although both songs are thereby transformed into utter hilarity...

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I don't listen to that much blatant gore. Just Corpsevomit, Avulsed, and Lividity, really. Besides, it's usually more about satan than about gutting someone. And the only gratuitously fat band I listen to is Crowbar, and they don't even growl, so THERE you friggin' wuss. Go listen to some Stratovarious and play Magic cards.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

...and while you're playing magic cards, I hope you get a paper cut, and you sit there and sob while Iced Earth plays a delicate melody in the background, and you can pray to not get gangrene, because then Blind Guardian would have to come over and add elven medicine to the putrifying wound, for nothing else can stave the evil spirits from corrupting your vital fluids. Then you can go back to magic cards and dream of powerful enchanters and their conjurations deep in the bowels of the old skull mountain, surrounded by scrolls written in draconic fashion while some skinny dweeb with long curly hair palm mutes a bunch of galloping wuss notes while the singer recounts the whole scene.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Wuss.
