God, em, I wish you would stop going on and on about freaking Esparza. We all know you hate him. Move on.
Yeah, Raul, unfortunately. And -- unless she's gotten it under control in recent years (i.e., post-Scarlet Pimpernel) -- Chrisine Andreas.

Ethel Merman
Bernadette Peters
Patti Lupone
Betty Buckley
Elaine Paige
Sutton Foster
The current Marius in LES MIS (name escapes me)
Oddly enough, Andreas' vibrato has never bothered me. Raul's does, though.

Raúl Esparza.
Man, I can't stand his vibrato.
Him, Julia Murney and Adam Pascal, right? Same with me! I mean, come on, the Chess concert? Could my ears bleed any more?
Dean Jones (braying...)
Raul Esparza (but only rarely... he's usually great and is better live)
Betty Buckley (powerful, but sometimes annoying)
Bernadette Peters (again, only sometimes)
Mostly, the young woman who plays Cosette on the Complete Symphonic... Les Mis. Like a small, irritating lamb bleating.
Adam Pascal..... blahhhh!
Lauren Molina.

Nathan Lane! Not all the time, but sometimes it annoys me...
LINDA BALGORD!
not necessarily her vibrato, but i can't stand nancy anderson's voice.
Glory Crampton (at least on the "Phantom" recording).
Same here, WAT.

If the question is really vibrato, then people like Merman and Paige, among others, aren't prime candidates at all. The most annoying vibrato of all time award has to go to Betsy Joslyn in SWEENEY TODD.

I love Nathan Lane, but sometimes his vibrato is annoying.
Alan Cumming.
Although I've learned to tolerate his voice.

Add me to the Nancy Anderson and Christine Andreas list.

Mandy Patinkin! Someone once described his voice as sounding like a power drill, and I couldn't agree more.
