Subject: RE: BS: My pet musical peeve
People who yell, rather than sing, the lyrics, in an attempt to show how meaningful their lyrics are.

Old Time and Bluegrass folks who play and sing too fast. The instrumentals are mostly dance music, and dancing is not a speed contest. Playing a song too fast is pointless, since the audience is going to miss a lot of the lyrics, and doesn't have the chance to ask you to repeat yourself.
