What album has the worst vocals you've ever heard?

>>127041250 (OP)
Yours!

>>127041250 (OP)
Like nails on a chalkboard

>>127041250 (OP)
All albums from Slipsimp

>>127041250 (OP)
Anything by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas. The album where the vocals ruin the album to most for me is Megadeth - Rust In Peace. Musically it is one of the best Metal albums ever but it is massacred by Dave Mustaine's shitty vocals. Megadeth fans are either retarded or have brainwashed themselves into thinking the vocals fit the album but they most definitely do not.

I don't like Sleep Token's vocals in general but they're usually tolerable except on Take Me Back To Eden. I don't know what happened when they were making that but he didn't sound this bad on the previous and on the next albums.

>Anything by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas
There's a song on Avenged Sevenfold's white album that does the whole happy autotuned vocals in a metal setting so much better. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas should just rip off that.

Any post hardcore with annoying high pitched vocals like Circa Survive, Blood Brothers or Dance Gavin Dance

I don't think anyone can top this

Cro mags - age of quarrel or Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today
Hardcore isn't known for good vocals, but these two albums seriously push that to its limit. The cro mags vocalist sounds like he's doing a bad impression of a "spooooooooky" ghost and the gorilla biscuits vocalist sounds like he's goign through puberty and has a throaty squeal that is grating.
The gorilla biscuits vocals are worse. The cro mags vocals work on some of their faster paced songs like street justice and signs of the times

>>127041250 (OP)
Any Led Zeppelin album. Plant has the most annoying vocals in Rock history.

>>127041908
And still manages to sound better than modern LaBrie.

>>127041908
Nah that's the guy from AC/DC

>>127041930
I don't know how LaBrie sounds nowadays. I haven't heard DT since I was 16.
>>127041946
Scott or Johnson?

>>127041968
I don't like either but Scott is tolerable

>>127041968
>I don't know how LaBrie sounds nowadays
His live vocals are a bunch of incomprehensible nasally vowels.
His studio vocals are also nasally and he's unable to hit high notes. His voice also sounds processed but I can't confirm that.
I'll go see him in a few days so that's gonna be fun.

Anything by Coil

>>127041250 (OP)
Anything by The Fall

>>127041250 (OP)
Neutral Milk Hotel - ITAOTS

The guy cannot sing to save his life, his vocals are absolutely ear-splittingly awful and deeply embarrassing. I don't understand how anyone can listen to that fucking garbage and pretend they're a music fan. One of the worst things I've ever heard.

>>127041250 (OP)
brave little abacus

Hardcore punk and indie live and die by bad vocals. I can't qualify what makes good vocals in these genres. Lots of vocalists I enjoy who are objectively terrible. But when I listen to local indie or hardcore band to decide whether it's worth paying 10 bucks to go see them, 90% of the time I'm like wow this guy/girl sounds insufferable.

Anyways to answer the question with an artist people might recognize the first that come to mind as particularly grating are Genesis P-Orridge, Alex G, and any prog or classic metal guy who does the whiny high pitched shit like in Judas Priest or Rush. Keep in mind I think Boredoms and Ghedalia Tazartes are GOOD vocally so my opinion is very much an opinion.

>>127041360
Stop spamming your imaginary garbage in threads it doesn’t belong you piece of shit

>>127041250 (OP)
Anything by Bathory

>>127043352
Hey shut the fuck up asshole I'm wearing a Bathory shirt right now and Quorthon was a perfectly adequate vocalist for his genre. Seriously, so many unlistenable BM vocalists he is not even close to the worst.

>>127041250 (OP)
I still like the album though

>>127043404
Listen, dickwad, it was just my own personal opinion. If you can't handle that then you can go eff yourself

>>127043328
James' delivery on Frantic is so funny I can't hate it.

>>127041907
>Cro mags - age of quarrel
Fucking this. Harley Flanagan isn't a great vocalist either, but he's a fuck of a lot cleaner than Joseph who always sounds like he's smoked a box of menthols with a sinus congestion.

Everything by Neil Young or Paula Abdul

>>127041250 (OP)
Anything by Bob Dylan after the mid 60s.

All screamo/metalcore vocalists. Never liked it, they all have this obnoxious tone to their voices when trying to scream/yell or otherwise sound "brutal" and when they sing "clean", it just sounds whiny.

>>127043602
Neil is SOVL

I don't know if it's the worst ever, but the singer from The Mars Volta hits that nails-on-a-chalkboard frequency for me. Some sort of survival instinct kicks in and I have to turn the music off

>>127043228
Lol he doesn't even sing off-pitch, the timbre of his voice is just a bit strange. Imagine getting filtered by a singer who's only slightly unusual

>>127044614
It's against the site's rules, and generally disrespectful. Main character syndrome fools like you will doom our species

>>127041250 (OP)
His singing fits the band though

I just fucking hate David Bowie's vocal style and anyone similar like the guy from VDGG. Sounds like absolute ass.

>>127047591
Unfortunately I agree, though I do like a few Bowie songs. He has this impressive range but chooses to sing like a complete asshole most of the time

>>127041874
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Chris Barnes is an easy top 3 for absolutely intolerable vox

>>127043960
Barnes or Fischer?

>>127047338
We don't tolerate antisemetism here chud.

It's like he has the worst voice ever, but it makes the music so much better you know?

The key aspect of The Fall is the vocals, no MES no Fall.

A lot of 90s punk rock. Millencolin and No Use For A Name come to mind.

Worst vocals worst lyrics. I really don’t know what happened to this band

>>127044465
heh. haven’t heard this one in several years but can still hear his gay little screams in my head

getting all

>>127048373
Wtf is that cover art

>>127041457

the problem with self-producing your album is that there’s no outside voice to tell you that your singing is horrendous and to try a different approach

>>127041250 (OP)

A lot of technically “bad” vocals can work if they have some character to them. I’d say semi-committed, weak voices like Bernard from New Order are the worst. He sounds like the office newbie bullied into doing karaoke at the work Christmas party.

>>127041250 (OP)
Twin Fantasy

>>127043228
Absolutely based

any MUSE LP

>>127049313
Matt is technically great and has a wide range

>>127048892
I don’t ever listen to it anymore but some of their shit is pretty classic imo. the spongebob voice was just a pleb filter

>>127048633
For some reason as much as i fucking hate that album the cover art I can kind of ironically enjoy. The actual music inside is some of the, I hate to use this critique, but genuinely bone-chillingly corny, nursery rhyme tier bullshit I’ve ever fucking heard. Coming from the same people that made Yerself is Steam and Boces. And these retards are still making this garbage I think some more just came out

>>127041250 (OP)
Is putting every single nu-rapper (especially female ones) too much cheating?

All metal vocals, both clean and when they're screeching like a faggot who just found out he has HIV.

>>127047475
>someone is themseleves
>you think this means the bullshit you said

Every single Taylor Swift album

St anger was fukin hilarious

>>127041340

>>127041908
Ten Years Gone is transcendent and he sounds amazing on When the Levee breaks or most of the first 2 lps. Listen to more music

@OP uhhh yes….

I'm cooler than you

Any black metal album. hurr durr I‘m so scary.

Malcolm Mooney makes most of the Can songs he's on completely unlistenable. Actually horrific. I don't know who told him to use that awful falsetto and ruin all those otherwise sweet early Can jams.

>>127053448
You are a pathetic faggot

Start with Red and end with 1989.

>>127041250 (OP)
generally i like shitty vocals but the dude from thursday drives me crazy for some reason

>>127041381
You know, that really explains everything. It's why Metallica was more successful without him and why no matter how much better Megadeth is, I just can't get into them like that.

>>127041946
Not on the first album. It's like he blew his throat out on that high g in shoot to thrill and never recovered. Everything after that he sounds like a dying muppet.

>>127056319
No Brian wrecked his voice singing Bon Scott songs which were way incompatible with his vocal range.

>>127041908
Also, the older plant gets, the more he sounds like Roger rabbit

>>127043886
there's this one guy on /mu/ who is like a resident expernt on Teresa Brewer so you might ask him for commentary i think he's the only such person on here who can

>>127056325
I don't know, I can actually hit most of Scott's range but the tracks on back in black are higher.
Fun fact, you can identify want sub breed an American bulldog is by which acdc singer it more closely resembles in build

>>127041250 (OP)
I can't imagine sitting through a Nina Simone album. The few individual tunes I've heard are repulsive enough.

such cringe vocals for such a god-tier thrash album

>>127056373
hi Christgau

Nina was not a very nice person to put it kindly and it comes off in her songs.

Anything by Today Is the Day. 12 year old COD rage vocals lol.
