I enjoy listening to Pat Benatar band, but not her regardless of her voice quality and yes with many others... How about Patricia Barber? I’d simply like her to shut up and just play piano with her band. Does she have poor voice? Really not sure.

Czarivey-Spot on! Patricia Barber is best used for audio demos not listening pleasure!
I never cared for Bowie's voice either, frankly.  Then I found out he patterned himself after Anthony Newley, who I could not stand to listen to, so it all added up.  Different strokes for different folks--I'm sure I listen to artists who make some people's skin crawl.
I wasn't going to say anything (taste being just a matter of taste), but I'm right with ya tostadosunidos. I found Bowie not only reminiscent of Newley, but just as vapid an "entertainer". And contrived and calculated as well. No offense, Bowie fans.
