Bands that have bad vocals, but that's ok.

Phish
The Grateful Dead
WSP (the vocals are the only thing that turns me off)
The Disco Biscuits (almost bad enough for me to ignore the band)

more?

For me it's most metal bands. Some killer grooves but the shrieking or cookie monster vocals ruin it.

Phish
Grateful Dead

Both can sing surprisingly good sometimes, but not often enough.

I also agree with Metal vocals. Can't stand it.

In general Im not a fan of contrived vocals. I like to hear people sing in their own voice with feeling. Don't like when singers are clearly manufacturing a sound. Seems cheap to me.

I can see the Grateful Dead sometimes. I think Bobby has an excellent voice.

Agree'd Calaban. AutoTune Nation is one of the worst things to happen to music in the history of ever.

They are incredible musicians, IMO of course.

Don't like their vocals, but when they only "sing" for 1 minute out of a 15-20 minute songs, I can overlook it without a problem.

The Disco Biscuits are awful, by the way. It's OK to just ignore them.

I agree - I'm not a big Dead fan, but I love his voice.

I think Ray Davies' voice can be a bit irritating at times, too, but I like the Kinks.
