micgtr71 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 You know I can not stand listening to Roy Orbison's voice. Everyone says he is such a good singer and I just don't like it. But, and I know this is not popular, James LaBrie is my least favorite on the list. Yes, even below Cobain and I don't like him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
