We actually had a thread on "Acts whose music is ruined by the vocals" last year, and it was a pretty long one, so you could always use the search facility to find that if you like.
My nominations were Family (like the music, but Roger Chapman sounds like Larry the Lamb being strangled to me), Joan Baez (I run for cover every time I her her shrill whinnying) and the Incredible String Band (Robin Williamson may have been a great instrumentalist, but to my ears both him and Mike Heron sound like a pair of drunken hobos bellowing out sea shanties on the Embankment).
