A poster here ecently explained that they didn't like Midnight Oil much due to the vocal phrasing of Peter Garrett. Which got me thinking whether there's any general consensus on bands and artists we dislike, despite good songs etc., and those vocalists who are pretty much admired by all. A brief list of suggestions:
Marmite vocalists:
Peter Garrett
Thom Yorke
Mark E Smith
Bob Dylan
Richard Butler
Universally-liked singers:
Frank Sinatra
Elvis Presley
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
Joni Mitchell
Is it easier for the general public to like singers who are more conventional in their vocal approach? What other factors are in play?
