What do you think?

That`s because he sounds like a south coast yobbo when he sings, despite the fact he comes from Woking.

Eric Clapton should`ve stayed in Cream, kept his mouth shut and just played the guitar.

His singing was so bad on the group`s debut album, that he actually went for singing lessons (So I`ve read) Even after the lessons.....he still sounds pretty ****e.

I think Dave`s delivery is pretty unique and one of the defining factors of the group especially in their early and later peak period. Admittedly when he tries to sing something different than the norm, then he`s not so good.

Axl Rose by far. I hated the band in 1988. Nothing has changed since.

I can't really think of a vocalist that gets on my nerves at the moment. Isis' vocals used to ruin their albums for me. It wasn't until Wavering Radiant that I started to appreciate it. OH, and fuckin' James LaBrie just needs to stop. I can't stand his voice. In my opinion, he ruins the whole band.

I`ve always been in two minds about James LaBrie`s voice, on studio stuff he sounds very good but live quite poor. I like the range of his voice, but I think his big problem, is the fact that he has suffered a lot of problems with
his voice over the years. In fact the "Falling into Infinity" album had a lot of good material but was certainly let down by his voice which again he had problems with (ruptured vocal chords) Since then he has had constant reacurring problems with it.

Continuing with the terrible voices, I`ve already commented on Chad "Freddy Krueger" sorry Kroeger above.

Another terrible voice is definately that of Gavin Rossdale, Kurt must be shuddering in his grave when he hears that.

The lead singer of Billy Talent has a terrible voice.

Even though I like Bob Dylan and I'll probably get crap for saying this... He has a bad voice too. Although it gets catchy and he is a great musician anyways.

Matt fuckin Bellend of Muse.

I think his voice is naturally good he just has a tendency to abuse it to hell.

My vote would have have to be John Tardy of Obituary. Can't stand it.
