Different strokes I guess but Axl actually had some talent, listen to the songs where he sang normal.

Yeah, I'm mostly talking about when he went all strangled-cat vocals. Ugh.
 
singer from Tool
pretty much any "singer" that growls.

i've heard lots of bad singers before but can't remember names or names of bands.
 
Definitely the AC/DC guy, I simply can't listen to it for an entire song. I recognize their music is pretty good but I don't understand the love they get.

Geddy Lee's voice isn't the worst but it IS the most androgynous.. I swear to you all I had no idea if it was a guy or girl singing when I was first hearing Rush songs on the radio as a kid. It works though. He kills songs like Closer to the Heart and Freewill and it's amazing. I can't imagine those being sung any other way, along with many others.

I also didn't particularly like Kurt Cobain's voice either, or his wife's lol.

Funny, that was the 1st person I thought of when I saw the thread title. He's actually pretty good when he sings quietly, but once he starts yodeling... :frown:

He's worse live than in studio, also.
