I think that I'd have to say that I'd probably love Spiral Architect if they had a different vocalist, perhaps someone with more control over their voice. Same problem some have with Dream Theater, phenomonal instrumentalists with a rather underwhelming vocalists that can easily get on your nerves. Also, if you don't like Dream Theater because of the emphasis on the players and they're soloing and complexity, you might want to stay away from Spiral Architect as they focus on complexity over song quality much more than Dream Theater, it was aimed at a very specific crowd.

Coheed and Cambria.

Something about his voice just irks me. But the band is fairly ace.

UnderOATH. I like them, but sometimes the screaming is just too much.

I can tolerate Wayne Coyne's vocals with their own material , but their cover of Bowie's Life On Mars is one of the most painful things I have ever heard.

Probably Muse. I like their music but Matt Bellamy's voice irritates the hell out of me
