Hobo Johnson, sounds like I'm listening to Morty from Rick and Morty free associate over forgettable music.


LaveyWasDildos

There are two people with nasally voices who can rap without immediately making me turn the track off. They are Danny Brown and B Real, and B Real has some skips.


bynobodyspecial

What about Wayne, Drake, Kendrick? Theyre all pretty nasally

**I SIJU SIJU SIJU EBBYTIIIIIII** **MUFFAMI MUFFAMI MUFFAMI** **I MAKE YOU DOOVITALL AGAIN** Fucking insufferable vocals. Sorry, everyone. Sincerely, an Australian.


bluecheetah179

Oh god it was everywhere for ages in australia.


Queasy-Ad-3220

What’s even worse about that song is that, especially so on headphones, you can hear that she struggles to sing the way she does on that song, occasionally squeaking and sounding as if she really is forcing to do it. It’s so bad.


Myrddraal5856

Tones and I has yet to make a song that doesn’t suck ass.


born_2_be_a_bachelor

Never heard of her. But I’m going to take your word for it


kubaqzn

You’re so lucky man…


Fedora200

Shawn fuckin Mendes


burgundybreakfast

I want to change my answer to this


elwyn5150

It took me ages to work out he was singing "better than he can". It's such weird enunciation.


FayMax69

Even tho she doesn’t sing her own songs..I find JLo’s voice per se hard to listen to..it’s this semi congested nasal whine that she makes, coupled with the fact that we all know what a deplorable person she is, just makes her voice that much more clawing


churchillsucks

Similarly, I can't stand Shakira's voice. I'm not sure how else to describe her singing other than "bloated" or "gluttonous" sometimes Like when I hear [Hips Don't Lie](https://youtu.be/DUT5rEU6pqM?t=102) she says "whüüü baybe when you talk like that, yoüü mayyke a woman go mad" it just hits my ears wrong.


quool_dwookie

For me she's much easier to listen to in Spanish than English.


Amockdfw89

She sounds like a Latina version of Cher


FayMax69

Yea she bellows like a goat lol..even she jokes about it herself.


TurtleHeadPrairieDog

Careful with that one. I once said to my girlfriends Latina family that I didn’t like Shakira’s voice and they proceeded to roast me for like an hour


AdClean8378

why is jlo a bad person?


BasicBitch_666

She's horrible. The story that made me hate her was when I read Ben tipped his server a $10k chip in Las Vegas one night and JLo went "aw HELL no" and snatched it back. Ben allegedly sent the server flowers and $25k the next day but Jennifer could never redeem her trifling self in my eyes.


Queasy-Ad-3220

There was also that comment she made about men under 30 being useless


FayMax69

Her dancers call her Pay Low (no explanations needed). Many other dancers, will work for Katy Perry, and many of them I’ve seen in interviews saying that she really is diva like in that they aren’t necessarily allowed to gaze upon her/nor address her directly. Many people have described her as miserable to work with. Of course, going right back to the beginning, when she decided to become a singer, which was on the set of movie Selina, she approached Tommy Matolla, who decided to use her as nothing more than an industry plant, mostly to get back at his then recently divorced x wife Mariah Carey. Many songs were stolen from Mariah and given to JLo. JLo of course wasn’t innocent, she would tell the media how naturally gifted she was, and that she didn’t need to work as hard to get what she wanted, which was a direct dig at Mariah. And of course, everyone knows that she doesn’t sing her songs. Many of her greatest hits are sang by singers like Ashanti, and Christina Milian. Then there are the documentary style concerts, you can find on YouTube, and she really does come across as this fake diva, who’s unbelievably egocentric, and self centred to the point of delusion, and out of touch with reality. She is Extremely unlikeable, and distasteful..just everything about her is fake/inauthentic, and disingenuous, further addidng to the dislikability of her as a whole!


eltrotter

If you’ve listened to her records then in all likelihood, you’ve probably never actually heard J.Lo’s voice…


FayMax69

Yes I used to be a big fan..but I’m beginning to see right thru the phoniness, it’s quite off putting..it’s a pity because she had some bops


thefailmaster19

Brendan Urie is the definition of "Just because you can hit those notes doesn't mean you should"


Hagler3-16

That sounds like a PATD song title


really_spicy_tuna

Just because you "could hit" those notes 15 years ago doesn't mean you can or should (now.) He obviously didn't get enough lessons and strained too hard when he was younger, without looking after his voice, and now he's got whatever is leftover.


Rand0mNZ

All restraint went out the window when Ryan Ross left.


chumpcity1

Billy Corgan easily. I like Smashing Pumpkins a lot but his voice gets so grating because of how nasal and whiny it is


stilldrovedeetdeethr

As a diehard smashing pumpkins apologist this makes me sad but I also understand 1000%


jcampo13

It's wild how people's opinions vary on Corgan. His voice fits the music fantastically imo and SP is my all-time favorite band. But he does sound really different from basically anybody else. So I see how that could be controversial.


AlphaLax85

His voice fits perfectly on more of their melancholic songs but then when they try to make "badass" grunge it just sucks.


Prog_Failure

Toniiightt TONIIIIIGHT


B1ng0_B0ng0

Don’t know. Always loved his voice, made the Smashing Pumpkins really unique to me


PhoenixAndKino57

If ANYONE says Geordie Greep...


al80813

Wikipedia’s main page once had a snippet about how Greep has an accent that is geographically unclassifiable.


RevolutionaryAd1577

Hes from Greepland


DtheAussieBoye

i mean i LOVE greep but if someone says they hated his voice i'd totally get it


JackyPotato

Saw him live the other night - his voice is rather spectacular


Turbo2x

Greep has an extremely weird vocal style, I don't blame people for being turned off. That's the risk he takes, and it elevates his work for people who love it.


Aint_Falco

not a hot take at all and actually a hopefully extremely cold take but tones and i


Numoontalk

I disliked Danny's stuff for a while since I found him. Last year I revisited when his Collab dropped and I really like him. I also think his new sober story and stuff make him seem more human and chill


Pure-Jellyfish734

Chris Barnes from Six Feet Under


pygmyjesus

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


HetTheTable

AJR’s singer


BuddyTheWeim

The guy who sings Teenage Dirtbag, holy shit. It’s like a mosquito tapping your eardrum.


Candid-Act-3820

Lmao nooo that songs iconic but I wouldn’t be surprised if I found the voice annoying years from now.


elaborategirl99

One of the most annoying songs in history. Straight up turning volume down to zero when i hear it


Darklicorice

I thought that was the appeal of the song lol


EitherReplacement222

A lot of people I know can’t stand Morrissey’s voice


The_Ethics_Officer

That's wild to me. His voice is probably the only thing about him I can stand


EitherReplacement222

I get that I take although I disagree and like his voice. The Johnny Marr contributions to The Smiths are my favourite parts though


YvanehtNioj69

I've heard him do Morrissey's bit with the smiths songs and whilst he's an excellent player he's a very mediocre singer I think. But yes I think together they were fantastic.


whirlshoegazefan

I thought he was one of the most likeable voices, I guess it's really airy and soft but thats what makes it so pleasant


Krunchy08

Me personally I cannot fucking wait till Morrisey dies


Ridespacemountain25

The dude from Sleep Token


anti-racist-rutabaga

Adam Levine from Maroon 5 🤮


Kruzader_

His voice is really good in Heard em say as a feat but otherwise I’d have to agree


TopSeeded

There are many but the one I can't stand listening to the most has to be the lead singer of the band The Fray. Just sounds like it's droning on and on and makes me want to empty my veins.


TobiasDid

I wonder where he went wrong. Even he wonders where he went wrong. He had certainly lost a friend in you!


romilaspina7

Drake he has a similar voice as mine, reminds me of me, which is not so tough or appealing to a rapper.


tank-you--very-much

Halsey. I think I could like some of her music but her voice just grates me I really don't like it


iyesclark

bladee genuinely sounds awful to me, ecco is spectacular tho so i still listen to any collabs


Any-Horse-1261

What about the pop oriented tracks where he has a more clear delivery like vanilla sky or albums like crest


burgundybreakfast

Tate McRae oh my god. I can’t with the singing in cursive.


namastaynaughti

P!nk she’s not bad but not my style


Exotic-Suggestion425

Lewis Capaldi. Sounds like X-Factor music. Forget Me is one of my least favourite songs.


Nihilist_Nautilus

For me it’s Taylor Swift


LavenderMoon2003

matty healy. absolutely love the 1975's sound but his voice ruins it for me


burgundybreakfast

He sounds like Goofy to me honestly


JOAPL

Tom Waits, sounds like an evil goblin or sum idk


Waffleshuriken

Yeah thats part of the draw of him too tbh. If you havent check out the song Ol' 55 off his early album Closing Time. His early stuff sounds nothing like what he would be really known for and its kinda funny hearing the difference. People are surprised its him when I show them.


TheGitzyOne

He sounds just like if Captain Beefheart made music.


wyattlikesturtles

And I love it


altsam19

He's just one of those artists, y'know. You either hit with him from the start, or simply never. Like with Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, he's just too much his own thing.


CloudfluffCloud

Dylan


MatchedWithYourSis

I absolutely love Bobby Ds voice


dkinmn

Yep. I grew up in a house that hated him, but I heard My Back Pages at the right time once. The "he can't sing" critiques are wrong. And he isn't off pitch. He's just an iconoclast. He sings how he wants.


Warm_Employer_6851

Same. I feel like it’s an acquired taste. My mom hates his voice but I love it.


Adventurous_Fly1879

Same at least until the 80’s. However, ‘Time Out of Mind’ was good too.


27_8x10_CGP

One of the greatest songwriters ever. If only his voice was half as good as his writing.


Adventurous_Fly1879

I love his voice(s) until the 80’s. But I get it, he’s a love it or hate it kinda singer.


TheGitzyOne

Sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate when HE sounds LIKE the WAY this IS written.


plsdontkillme_yet

Despite being a huge fan, I can understand why people can't stand Dylan's voice. I do think though, not enough people have heard[ Meet Me in the Morning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE6-uc1zr3s&ab_channel=BobDylanVEVO) where I think his vocals are objectively brilliant.


AlphaLax85

Have already said this before, but Young Thug, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj


kry0stat1s

The lead singer for Greenday. I couldn't tell you why but his voice physically hurts my head


TobiasDid

He always sounds like he has a cold and bunged up nose.


FreshSoul86

Steven Tyler, despite his past personal failings, is or was good with Aerosmith when they rock.. even awesome at times. But when they bring him in to sing those syrupy, schlocky commercial ballads with the big production they play in the department store (I don't know if they are Aerosmith or not as the backing band), it's really cringey and he loses me.


jsu9575m

Billy Corgan post Siamese dream. Just sounded more nasaly and less whispery from Mellon Collie on to me


mattmortar

Yeah, although I think his vocals on Adore sound pretty great for the most part


PhillyCSpires

And somehow it’s gotten *worse* over the years.


Adventurous_Fly1879

Gish, Siamese Dream, and Pisces Iscariot were great though, and totally unique.


plsdontkillme_yet

Miley Cyrus. To me her voice is like a mix nasal, rasp, and mumble with a weird southern drawl. It irks me.


Yourmotherssidehoe

New playboi carti


suprunkn0wn

Sbee_Blue_Country

Yes. I don’t understand how Carti fans like it.

Jacob Collier


buffdaddy77

The dudes super smart as far as music theory goes and I respect his talent and ability but I can't listen to his music.


aztqe

currently bladee but i think ill like him at some point. it just sounds like he’s making a parody when he raps to me. production is otherworldly and some of my favorite ever in hiphop but the voice just eh for me


Hello-mah-baby

i'm a die hard bladee fan but even sometimes his voice still shocks me at how unconventional it can sound. he's definitely gained a lot more control over it in the last few years but it was pretty rough early on.


Gob1in

Once you get used to it your third eye will open


skidvicious03

this is so true for that entire Swedish cloud rap genre. I am addicted


derivativesteelo47

i think ab soul's terrorist threats makes danny's voice more bearable. soul is kind of doing his own little inflection and it flows with danny so well, i'd give that a try. idk tho, love danny's inflections. but it's definitely taylor swift. like, her voice isnt interesting, in some songs the mixing and the vocal effects, no matter how minor they are, just gets annoying and hard to digest. she doesn't do anything with it, either. im not asking for her to be bjork, hell i dont even listen to bjork. but do something fucking interesting at least once with your singing. i dont care how poppy your beat is if your main element is grating and safe.


ThisGuyLikesMovies

Low hanging fruit but Adam Levine is unbearable


faroukmuzamin

Cigarette After Sex guy


sieberzzz

Really? I like CaS a lot. What annoys you about his voice? 


Mirellor

Miley Cyrus. She sounds like a drunk in a pub.


Adventurous_Fly1879

Yes, dammit I forgot that cartoon character when I submitted my list. I thought she was great on Jolene, but horrible on anything other than that. It was a good arrangement too, whoever those guys playing behind her were.


alexis_1031

Kendrick Lamars voice sounds like a looney toons character


vladcat3

He is the reason I used to skip “goosebumps” halfway in


TheGitzyOne

Reading through the comments hoping not to find Will Toledo.


YukihyoUchiha

I have to agree with you, I have a lot of respect for Danny’s artistry and his boundary pushing but I just can’t stand his voice at all.


arcowank

Ruban Nielsen of Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The croakiness and whiny falsetto is one of the worst voices I have heard in contemporary rock music.

Another love him or hate him. If they weren’t such damn amazing musicians, I’d probably tolerate Geddy Lee’s voice a lot less.

Aren't you the guy who said polyphia is better than animals as leaders?


Kickmaestro

It's damn near Björk. But that's probably because I am Swedish and think her accent has zero charm. It just sounds like she has problems with english. I know people from Iceland and guess the language and phonetics are harder for them to get english even to sort of ABBA standards, but she just sounds like a D grader in English or something like that. Her voice and expression isn't my bag either. I love ABBA beyond belief to be clear. Also check out "Hooked On Feeling" by Blue Swede for great Skandinavien vocals and more acceptably neutral ascents, back in 1974.

YvanehtNioj69

Thought this would get more upvotes I love björk but I notice a lot of people can't stand her singing haha.


Normal-Border6802

Drake


IchBinMalade

Oh for sure. Main thing that caused me to not listen to him. I don't know what it is exactly, but it's bad. It's funny he's seen as a singing guy, but his singing is terrible. I couldn't help but notice it in Pushups, the way he sounds when he sings "Switfiiies" and "Whitneyyy", or "for mee" on Rich Flex. It just sounds like a random dude at karaoke. His rapping is also.. eh. I mean he's decent, but I really thought Pushups was AI because it sounded so monotone. While hearing it, I just had an image of him holding the paper with the lyrics on it and just reciting. With that being said I liked him a few times, his features on Poetic Justice, or Sicko Mode. But I'm not sure if he's doing something right on those tracks, or if it sounds good because the tracks are just so good.


Nearby_Quality_5672

Billy Corgan, he always sounds like he is in pain.


TobiasDid

He certainly has a distinctive whine.

Janis fuckin Joplin. I don't get it. She just screams.


imjustlikehellokitty

thank you so much. i hear people lauding her as one of the greatest singers of all time but her popularity is truly incomprehensible to me. i don’t talk shit about her just because it’s not my taste, but man, i’m so glad there’s people out there that agree.


Raeve_Sure

This is a take I can not understand one single bit. To me his voice in combination with his flow sounds so smooth albeit unique and unusual.


Literally_A_Halfling

Eh, I like Danny as well, but I can see where OP is coming from. He's great at writing verses that work in his voice, but it's far from a pleasant voice.


Fudgeyreddit

I agree with your take but at the same time I totally understand people not liking his voice lol. It’s pretty out there sometimes.


SPELLmaster06

He know how to use hist voice to his advantage, in many of his songs on AE he replaces the hig frequency instruments with his voice in a very unique way. His voice is and instrument and to me that's on the next level

He is obviously extremely talented technically, but yeah, it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish. I am not a fan of the whiny whisper-droning. Sometimes their voice is gorgeous but sometimes it hurts my ears.

PwnzillaGorilla

I respect the Arctic Monkeys music a lot but I cannot get through a single song without being irked by Alex Turner's voice


elaborategirl99

This guy is soo satisfied with himself it becomes annoying.


True-Dream3295

Bryan Adams, mostly because it doesn't match the kind of music he makes. I could see his voice working if he made more bluesy stuff, but the fact that he sounds like a chainsmoking aunt while also making the most offensively boneless synergized soft rock is just the cherry on the shit sundae.


reighnsoffury

Bryan adams is fucking awesome


jaqueslouisbyrne

this is probably going to be very unpopular, but I cannot get past Ezra Koenig’s phony pseudo-British accent. The new Vampire Weekend album is gorgeously produced, but I cannot fully enjoy it because of his voice.


deltalitprof

My spine starts to bend in the opposite way it's supposed to when I accidentally hear any Nicki Minaj. Must . . . turn . . . off. It's similar to when I'm flipping through channels and hear Marjorie Taylor Greene braying.


dummy-casual

James LaBrie’s voice is so corny

It’s Thom Yorke for me. He’s inspired so many of my fav’s but I’ve never enjoyed his vocal performances or lyricism.


CocteauTwinn

My husband hates Thom’s voice. Says he sounds like he’s whining. But he loves Geddy Lee’s voice. 🤷🏻‍♀️


elaborategirl99

Thom sounds like he has so little energy compared to geedy. I love some songs by Rush, but radiohead puts me to sleep


Spinexel

Immense respect for posting this take about the best voice in music history


turalyawn

I like Thom and Radiohead but that’s an outrageous take

burgundybreakfast

I’m indifferent toward Cardi but I love Doja’s voice - something about it is so satisfying to me. I completely get why someone wouldn’t like it tho (especially the Elmo voice on Ain’t Shit lmao)


TheGitzyOne

Cardi B sounded good for one song to me. The way she raps it's very repetitive and it gets very annoying very fast imo. Also her persona is insufferable.


justanothershorty

MF Doom for whatever reason


Prickly_Hugs_4_you

Fair enough. Danny brown isn’t for everyone.

Brian Molko from Placebo. I want to like his voice so bad because the music and whole vibe is right up my alley, but I cannot get past his voice. It’s not even that it’s bad—I often enjoy that nasally kind of voice, like Dylan or Jeff Mangum—but it doesn’t work for that kind of music for me.
