Can't stand the voice on Matt Bellamy from Muse. I could probably tolerate them with a different singer.

I went to see The Offspring and Sublime (with Rome).

Offspring was pretty good though the arena had horrible sound. Sublime was hot garbage with Rome singing. The only thing saved it was the crowd knew all the words so we were all drowning out his shit singing.

Freespirit Graham.

My father used to book acts for a local club, and this guy played there once. He was awful. There's no nice way to say it, he just really wasn't very good. He played and sang songs that nobody recognised, and did it badly. To make things worse, he was paid, but went around with his hat at the end of the set asking people for money. Needless to say, he didn't get a good reception.

About a year or so later, my father booked another singer, and it was the same guy going under a different name. The music night was popular, so there was a decent sized crowd already there when he walked in, and quite a few of them remembered him. My father asked him what he was doing there, and he said that he thought it was worth a try.

He was told to leave without playing, as the people who remembered him were already annoyed, and weren't the type of people to suffer a fool kindly.

Trickhay on YouTube... Learned about him when he posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a singer for his music. He's become an inside joke for my SO and I. I think my favorite is "hoop dance".

A support band for Madness. To call them crap would be an insult to all the genuinely crap bands out there. They went through crap and came out the other side. Then they went through whatever level of shitness that was and came out the other side. I don't think anyone applauded them, except when they stopped making whatever ungodly racket they were making and went offstage. I've never been more relieved to hear a bunch of unmusical talent-free potty-mouthed morons finally STFU.

i think untitled black is by sault has some of the most unemotional bland pathetic excuse for vocal delivery ive ever heard. it makes the entire record sound like a corporate mandated album

couple of songs are decent tho, like wildfires and the one with michael kiwanuka, but everything else is plagued with uninspired lyrics and mindnumbingly boring instrumentals. on top of flat "i was going to close in 5 minutes but a customer just walked in" vocals

Calum Scott easily. That one song that kept playing during every commercial break drove me to madness. It's that "You Are The Reason" song that Kay Jewellers used for one of their commercials, and my God it was the most overplayed shit in the universe while it was still airing and made me despise that song. I hated the sappiness and I hated the stupid-ass high pitch he would constantly sing in throughout the whole song. It's the one and only Calum Scott song I listened to. Kay Jewellers always picked the worst and most ear-piecing sappy songs for their commercials. I have never listened to another one of his songs, and I don't plan on ever doing it. Song is nothing but him sounding like a pussy who cries and whines around woman trying to get them to like him. And keep in mind, this was on every day, on every commercial break. I could never go even ONE DAY without hearing that effing song on my Roku. I was, at one point, seriously contemplating ripping my ears out if I ever heard it on my TV again.

Hearing that song practically every single day on every goddamn commercial break made me unbelievably angry. Thank God Kay have stopped playing the commercial with that song included, it drove me absolutely insane every time I heard it on a commercial break. I got sick and tired of hearing it very quickly. Sometimes, it would get so overplayed in one day that I wished I was deaf on numerous occasions. That song has just turned me away from the artist entirely as I bet all of his songs are cringeworthy, sappy songs with him singing in an ear-splitting high pitch. "You Are The Reason" is a full-blown assault on the ears.

Never listening to another one of his songs again after that. One of his songs was bad enough.

And here's the commercial if you are wondering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tu_eMQuKGk

I have a perhaps unreasonable dislike of The Best Day by Atmosphere.

How has no one mentioned Tom Waits.

He has some good songs, but his voice sounds like a alley cat with a stomach full of garbage who won't let you sleep. I know that it's the point for some ppl, but I can't stand it.

He's on key and in tune though, same as Dwight Yoakum. You may not like their voice, but they are excellent singers.
