Worst voice in rock music?

Heh, his vocals are good. Its just that it wouldn't kill him to enunciate.

Haha...reminds me of this video. Check out around 2:00 and you'll know what I'm talking about:

Lol, Trey <3

Now that I think about it, a lot of the Grunge frontmen were pretty studly guys. Vedder, Cornell, Staley, Cobain.

And of course, Tad Doyle.

I love tons of the "annoying" voice mentioned. Bob Dylan, Isaac Brock, Billy Corgan, Eddie Vedder, Jack White, Geddy Lee, and so many others I find absolutely fantastic in their own individual ways. Tom Waits is amazing too.

Ihave an odd taste for guys like Anthony Green and Claudio Sanchez as well. I've heard numerous complaints about both.

I think Chad Kroeger, Jonathan Davis, Scott Stapp, and other random "hard rock" vocalists are among my least favorite. Also, James Hetfield's voice bugs the hell out of me sometimes.

Also, I'd like to punch Steve Perry every time he hits a high note.

Yeah he was a douche.

I dunknow if I can pick just one

As much as I love Motley Crue, Vince Neil is a poor singer and the weakest part of the band. Live, he forgets and misses lyric and his studio vocal has little range. But the band as a whole covers up for his downfalls.... ****, we all know he was only in the band cuz he was Tommy's high school buddy.

I think, again... as much as I like GN'R, Axl has a pretty annoying sound. His vocal works best on his own tunes, but it really makes me cringe when he performs cover songs. Way too much weird stuff going on with his style... it's a shame that the chorus to Knockin' On Heaven's Door has been permanently scarred.

Vedder did a phenomenal job with the Into the Wild soundtrack. i don't care for his other stuff though...

The singer of Shinedown bothers me. He is technically OK, but his tone irritates me and the way he sings vowels is strange.
