That's just it. I have no problem with "dynamic" unconventional voices as a rule. It's just a very case-by-case basis for me.
LOVE: Bjork, Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music, Diamanda Galas, Portishead, Dinosaur, Deerhoof (although I was initially put-off by Satomi's voice)
HATE: Joanna Newsom, CocoRosie, Tori Amos, Animal Collective, Will Oldham... My big problem with these artists doesn't lie solely with the vocals; their music in general gets on my nerves. The fact that they all come off as highly forced and gimmicky to me doesn't help matters.
