Popular singers whose voice just grates

There are a few very successful singers that I really cannot stand to hear their voices. The sound just grates horribly. I wondered if anyone else has sensory problems with singers who appeal to many people.

My top aural horrors are: Janis Joplin, Rod Stewart, Liam Gallagher and Morrissey.

  • Ok im shocked you also said Beyoncé have you Dont heard the master peices that are irreplaceable and Texas hold em? 

    I do often wonder though if sometimes we are so conditioned by what a good voice should be that we tend to hyper fixate on intonation and ignore impure intonation even if it has good pitch 

    i often find i like Taylor becuase she’s not afraid to leave raspy tones in her songs you get a raw emotion thats lacking else where but I can see how that might be a sensory issue for some people (weeeiiird people)
