[chartz]

+1 Janis Joplin. What a mess.

Yoko Ono is not a singer.

 

[Arkless Electronics]

Billy Bragg

Janis Joplin

Will Young

Dianne Lee (of Peters & Lee fame)

Joe Cocker

Billy Bragg? How very dare you! I can't help going all cockeney innit when I cover one of his though!

 

[julifriend]

Yoko Ono is not a singer.

And that’s why she has not been mentioned. Screeching is about her limit.

 

[LostAtSea]

That bloke out of Tindersticks. Sounds like a creepy uncle.

 

[Cursewheeler]

Hozier. His voice grinds my gears. Don’t know why

 

[FC united]

I'm very surprised, only two mentions for Morrissey and none for Bono.

P.S. I love them both!!!!!!!

 

[Paul Mc]

Billy Bragg
Elvis Costello
Phil Collins
The Cure
Associates
Billy Idol
McCalmont
Moby
Pet Shop Boys

Kate Bush

Kate Bush

Yeah, used to like the young KB, but not what her voice has become since the early 90's.

I prefer Hannah Reid. Anybody hates her voice?

 

[evand]

Elvis Costello

The guy doesn't have a single track I like or even find listenable, he's one of few artists that make me reach for the skip button without fail. Admittedly though I don't have much to go on, but not even a greatest hits could engage me.

 

[cupples]

Another vote for Bob Dylan.
Rufus Wainwright sounds dreadful.

Yoko Ono is not a singer.

I would have agreed until I heard this.

I love this croon wth Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree backing. Cool and haunting.

 

[jackbarron]

+1 Janis Joplin. What a mess.

Yoko Ono is not a singer.

She sings in her own way. I saw her perform with Ornette Coleman at The Royal Festival Hall and she was ace.

Are you kidding? Nothing to hate there, voice or anything else!

 

[Big Tabs]

Kate Tempest

[Del monaco]

Bono
Celine Dion
Definitely Yoko Ono
Noel Gallagher(inadequate)-good songwriter
Liam Gallagher-mannered
Billy Bragg

Then we agree!

 

[nobeone]

Mick Hucknall, Simply Red, most annoying singer ever. Can't stand his voice. Ugh. However Mrs Nobeone absolutely HATES it, so much so she must turn off/over the radio should she ever find his smug crooning tones entering the room. Good taste that Mrs Nobeone.

 

[nobeone]

Kate Tempest

ffs.

Does that monotonous street poet droning she does count as singing?

 

[Joolzdee]

Annie Lennox...truly horrible.
Like fingernails on a blackboard!
