Honestly I never touch the vile things. It was just the first redneck food I could think of.

Although Grey Poupon might give roasted possum a nice zing...

Aye, they weren't sophisticated at all, but they later drove around with jars of Grey Poupon next to the eight-track player.

I never had that issue, I never had any sophisticated friends where I grew up (i.e. redneck).

I know what you mean.  It does really come down to individual tastes.  There are some singers whose voices others hate, and those singers' voices don't trouble me: Tom Waits, Morrissey, David Byrne, Elvis Costello, Neil Young, Dylan.  I don't even mind Billy Corgan's or Win Butler's (from Arcade Fire) voices - as long as I don't hear those two very often.  In high school, there was just this attitude among people who listened to a lot of what would later be called "prog rock", that they were more sophisticated than those of us who listened to The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Lou Reed, or especially to the early punk rock bands.
Some Bjork stuff is okay once in a while.

c'mon, tell us what you really think

Definitely a matter of taste to be sure. For some reason none of those people with the funny voices ever bothered me, Geddy Lee, Neil Young, Anderson and so forth. I like them all, but certainly get why some don't.  I mean some people like Bjork so vatta u gonna do?  And this coming from someone who likes Yoko Ono!!

I had friends (and enemies) who were into them back in high school - that band just never did anything for me.  Jon Anderson's voice, in particular, was laughably irritating, and opened the gates for later castrati like Geddy Lee.

I actually love that song in particular the guitar riff at the end.

well.

Man, this "Starship Trooper" song is ostentatious and overblown.  I didn't care for their pompous, hobbit-rock in the 1970s and the years have not improved it.
