Very much agree with the bolded. Bad, inappropriate (as in out of place, not raunchy), and clearly tacked-on vocals are the easiest way to make me hate an artist/album/song, even if the music is amazing. A good example that comes to mind is how Yorke's annoying voice is the biggest thing keeping me from being a Radiohead fan.
