I can see people who don't consider his singing annoying feeling that way. I'm not one of those people.

He could sound very sweet and sensitive in songs like Dumb or scream like a maniac in songs like Milk it, he also had a bit of a southern twang in his voice i really like. I kinda get why he would be mentioned here but idk, i think he had a good singing voice.
I'd put Kurt in too because he's really expressive and makes his limited voices sound very versatile.
