You should.
It would be singers for me.

Should I be concerned?

In our band we have a unique circumstance, we all get along.
We're older players and at times we may have our differnces but resolve them asap. 95% of the time we just have fun.

Back in 1985 I played in a funk band with a very nice, very talented, and unfortunately very left hand heavy keyboardist. He finally allowed me to put a strip of gaffers tape across his DX7 that roped off the bottom octave-and-a-half of the keyboard. "That's my sandbox; you go play to the right of that line."
I wish all the other keyboard players I work with could be as accomodating.
Lead vocalists.
Which is why we decided "screw it, we'll do all the vocals ourselves" a few years ago. Rehearsals are considerably more enjoyable now.
No one specific. All my past bands had very unique personalities and it was never a generalized "drummer" issue, or "singer" issue, or "guitarist" issue. It depended on the individuals.
On sunday I've played with some people and there was that chick singer who was telling she didn't like the guitar sound and arguing forever about how she wanted the guitar to sound

I had to smash up an otherwise great acoustic blues band that I started because of a harp player who did not get it that the harmonica needs to step OUT as much as IN.
The rest of the band was too chicken s#!t to put him in his place. Oh well, on to bigger and better things....
All of the above, also fiddle players, steel players, harmonica... if you play long enough, you run afoul of at least one from every category!
I've never had trouble with a conga player! Yet.

You need special categories for "female singers" and "couples."
If someone else has already mentioned these glaring omissions, I apologize for my oversight.

I'll bet there's a site called "TalkGuitar" where, this very moment people are kvetching about bassists...
Which ever one is an insane jerk. They are always out there. Why did you bring this up? I am getting repressed memories already!!LOL!
+1. I do not speak guitar. As a competent drummer, i can speak fluent rhythm, but it's like when you tell a guitarist to cut their lows a bit, it's like you've talked smack about their mama.
Sometimes i hate being the most knowlegeable about sound in the band
ignorance is bliss
Everything below 800Hz is MY house!!
It has to be singers. Or at least the ones who have no clue what a note or key signature looks like.
Drummers are bad though as well. Had a drummer say to us one time (after the lead singer was complaining that this certain note was out of her range...which it wasn't): "Hey, why don't each of you just choose the key you're comfortable playing in.
No kidding.
