Every so often I'll hear the beginning of a new Nickelback song on the radio and not realize it's them at first and I'll think "okay, this isn't too bad I guess" for a second...then Chad starts singing and I can't change it fast enough.
Everybody else mentioned in this thread I can deal with, at least in small doses.

Ben Folds has a voice with a 1 song limit for me. Any more and I realise I hate it.
Are there any guys we like to hear sing? Maybe it's a hetro thing to not really dig guys vocals?
Ed Kowalczyk (former Live frontman) has a really good voice IMO.

| | | | 90% of all high-pitched emo/pop-punk singers.
Circa Survive... (still cool though)
My Chem...
Pierce the Veil...
I'm about 20 years behind everyone I know. At 16, I was boarding the shoegaze train, and everyone else was boarding the emo/hardcore express.
Geddy, I like. Geddy can strain his voice into the high range artfully.
Emo kids... not so much. Just sing it a few steps lower, dangit! You'll sound okay! I promise!

Bieber and Nickelback are prime examples of why I don't listen to radio. Ever. I actually have yet to ever hear a Justin Bieber song, thank goodness.
EDIT: It doesn't help his West Coast Customs $100k " Bat-illac" is maddeningly cool.

I don't like Bob Dylan, Rod Steward or either of AC/DC singers. But on a regular day I couldn't be bothered changing a radio station when I hear their voice. Axl is a whole different thing.

|  | Don't feed the troll, folks. | | Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Camarillo, CA | | | Any of those whiny 'indie' or emo singers.
Anything with autotune. If you need autotune to sing, then you're not a singer.
MICHAEL MCDONALD. Oh man, I can hardly listen to Peg because of his obnoxious backing vox.
Anyone who mumbles or sounds like they obviously never learned that you need to open your mouth to sing. Example - Corey Taylor of Slipknot.
Oddly enough, Eddie Vedder is exempt from my previous point (for me, anyways). Never had a problem with his voice.
