I don't like Portnoy's work in Dream Theater really - it seems like he has a "I never met a fill I didn't like" style as someone on progarchives described it.

As a bassist, I think Myung is brilliant though. He exercises far more restraint than anyone in the band.
Bad vocals tend to turn me off and distract me from the rest of the music. That's why I prefer Labrie's clear voice as opposed to the screaming metal bands that just annoy me. If Labrie's diction were better I would appreciate him more, but I realize pronunciation in that range may be be restricted.

I have to disagree, If I can hear the vocals and vocals are annoying, it ruins the song. However, I don't mind it when there are no vocals, that's fine.

Overall I think the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This is why with some artists I like I can forgive lousy drumming (Metallica) or bad bass playing (AC/DC) and yes even bad singing. But no matter how "bad" someones singing is, if its unique theres usually something appealing about it, Personally I love the scruffy wailing of Axl Rose and the nasally tone of Billy Corgan, it interests me more than vocals that I think are derivative to the extreme, hence my disinterest for black metal and modern hardcore.

Really? I love Cornell. Oh well everyone has a different cup of tea.

Um...would like if Dragon Force, Coheed and Cambria, and Iced Earth had different singers
