Which singers have your least favourite voices ?
Possibly not the worst, but just irritating and\or unlistenable for you.

Bobby Brown on "Candy Girl" but once he grew up and his voice broke it was ok.

On "Against All Odds" I might agree, I think Brian McFadden's vocals are better than hers on it, but it's a good song and terrible cover. Maybe even Steve Brookstein's vocals on his version are better, but you can't beat the original. Generally though Mariah Carey is a good singer and Vision Of Love is a brilliant song. (See the 1990 retro chart topic to see where it got in my chart!)

Definitely yes with Yoko Ono, I'd almost forgotten she actually did some singing, including a number of songs on Double Fantasy which I listened to when I got to the end of 1980.

Billy Bragg is an awful vocalist, even though I do like some of his songs.
Morrissey has just got one monotonous tone!

Elvis Costello - depends on what song he is singing - his voice actually works better on the softer music (like She, which is a far better vocal performance than Charles Aznavour whom I might even nominate here), or Good Year For The Roses, Everyday I Write The Book and This House Is Empty Now.
And yeah, I'll admit though, rather bad on Carpetbaggers. And I could understand some not liking it on other uptempo ones like Accidents Will Happen.
