Does anyone hate this as much as I do? The only song I’ve heard where I like this is David Bowie’s Young Americans.
Since much of rock and roll derives from gospel, why do you hate it?
What are the songs that you don’t like? I can’t think of an example of what you’re talking about.
Have you heard Gimme’ Shelter?
Surely this phenomenon reached its apex somewhere around your location, Ilsa? 
Well, it’s not exactly all that common is it? Especially recently. Only example I can think of from, say, less than 5 years ago is “Downfall” on Matchbox Twenty’s More Than You Think You Are. Which used the effect fantastically, IMO.
I like U2’s “Still Haven’t Found What I’m looking For (live version)”.
I always enjoyed Foreigner’s * I Want to Know What Love Is*. Lou Gramm was backed up by the New Jersey Mass Choir.
Sorry about the vagueness.
I’m referring to things like Joe Cocker’s cover of A Little Help From My Friends. The chorus has a female gospel choir or something like that. I’m referring to that type of thing.
I have the feeling that I’m making myself look stupid here.
Okay. I mean the energetic female backup singers whose voices appear in certain songs.
I don’t have anything against choirs in general, I love The Sisters of Mercy’s song Dominion/Mother Russia.
