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.

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

>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.

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.

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.

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.

A lot of technically โ€œbadโ€ vocals can work if they have some character to them. Iโ€™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.

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 Iโ€™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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I don't know, I can actually hit most of Scott's range but the tracks on back in black are higher.
