Screeching singers.

Depends how you define screeching

I wouldn't consider some singers screeching, like some of the above listed, but I don't really like it when all a singer does is yell the words.

It's needs musicality. Otherwise, singing would be something that anyone could do.

I hope you didn't just refer to Nightwish and Lacuna Coil as Gothic.

Cookie monster vocals suck.

Horribly. Badly.

I keep thinking how amazing Dimmu Borgir would be if the lead singer didn't hail from Sesame Street.

Kelli: You might already know this, but there is an AMV kicking around here done to the second half of "Short Stories..." that truly is beautiful.

And if you think the screamers you actually hear are bad, wait 'til you hear someone with a really crappy screaming voice go at it.

I personally like the screamers, though. In fact, the Dillinger Escape Plan is my second most all-time favorite band (#1 is Nomeansno), and their vocalist screams like nothing else. Then, of course, there's Mike Patton, who does more than just scream (but doesn't do much actual "singing" anymore, so it seems) -- that guy practices vocal acrobatics! (Listen to the Fantomas, Mr. Bungle, or his short stint with Dillinger Escape Plan, and you'll know what I mean.)

The only screamers that uniformly bother me are the one's that come off as too tough-guy/jock-core (Earth Crisis, Strife, 25 Ta Life). But I guess the music they're screaming to doesn't really help anyone's case.

...

Where exactly was I going with this?
