I think Jeff Mangums voice is one of the best I've heard, but I can't listening to one whole Decemberists song without getting annoyed by his voice. My friends say this is rather contradictionary...am I the only indie-pop fan in the world that dislike The Decemberists?

My favourite voices are, besides Mangum:

Stephin Merritt
Hilarie Sidney
Early 70's John Cale
Stephen Malkmus
Kevin Barnes
Euros Childs
