Your favorite: "Love the music, hate the singer"?

[Fire Walk With Me]

Edit: "Singer as a 'singer'", not "singer as a person".

Updated to swap Prince for Wesley Willis (that was a trick question anyway).

1. The Smiths

Easily. Most of the bands you've listed I dislike the music along with the singing.

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. Ooh, good point. I love "This charming man" except for the singing...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. Pearl Jam

Good music, but Eddie Vedder always came off as a prick.

[FloridaJudy]

4. Bob Dylan

Genius composer/lyricist, but that whiny drone makes my ears hurt.

eta: I have nothing against him as a person (though that whole Pope thing is a bit creepy). It's his voice I dislike.

5. This.

His voice causes me visceral pain, seriously. Like someone's taking a fork to my central nervous system. x(

6. You mean, hate the singer as a person, or hate the singer as a singer?

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. Singer as a singer.

I should have added Prince but I try to keep him out of mind.

8. Good call.

Once I start humming Raspberry Berret, it's all over.

14. Whoops, wish I saw your response beforehand...

Oh well. :blush:

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. I'd say Axl Rose, but I also really hate GNR, so that doesn't count.

[SoxFan]

10. Gotta go with The Smiths

Morrisey is a pretentious whining git; Johnny Marr is brilliant.

11. "Welcome To The Jungle", great song, but Axl is a class one

asshole.

12. Roger Daltry of The Who

Always liked the who, hated his weak voice.

13. Tied between the Rolling Stones and the Beatles

FWIW: I voted Madonna.
