It's good. Great, even. The lyrics are really quite something. Controversial but not plebian statement, I put Jeff Mangum in the same category of weird genius as our beloved Anton Newcombe.

Ozzy Osbourne, for the last 10 to 15 years.

Which is to say, post-Sabbath, and I agree.

Guns n Roses is probably the first thing that comes to mind.

Forgot about Ozzy Osbourne. In Sabbath he's not quite so bad I can't listen to them, but I'd like the band a hell of a lot better with a better singer. Later he just got terrible.

I take it you're a Dio fan then?

Me and my friends refer to Neutral Milk Hotel as "Potato Nazi Girl" because of that album cover.
In regards to The Doors: As much as I think Jim was the kinda guy that I would have hated as a person, and that the pseudo-deep bullshit lyrics were a bit annoying at times, I do love The Doors + enjoy Jim's singing. I think he sounded nice while just properly trying to sing, and while it's a bit hard to take it seriously sometimes, the shouty/screamed bits always feel like a burst of pure energy when listening imo. Funny that someone (Casecandy I think?) mentioned that you shouldn't think of them as dad rock when approaching their music. I called The Doors dad rock earlier (it's an affectionate thing with me, not hating on them, ya know?) and he defends them saying that they're "time travel rock" and I agreed that it's rock for time traveling dads.
To answer the OP, as much as I love Unknown Pleasures (I can't stand most of Closer), Ian Curtis' voice tends to annoy the hell out of me. I can't listen to a lot of Joy Division without thinking that Ian sounds like he's been pitched down.
