But how often do they change the oil in their cars?

 

[JeffKeryk]

Most of which I would not recognise.
The best are, John Kay, Jim Morrison and a bunch more. Only blues based need apply.

 

[Passport1]

How did they forget Michael Bublé and Michael Bolton?

 

[walterjay]

I never could stand the sound of Micheal Jacksons voice

 

[wag123]

The only one that I disagree with is Lou Reed, and Ozzy can't be overrated because he was never overrated to begin with (Ozzy is just Ozzy).

 

[Chris142]

The Beatles as well as Paul mcartney on his own. Can't stand him.

Led zeppelin but Robert plant on his own is pretty good.

 

[GON]

I think the list is erroneous at best.

Over a dozen of the singers on the list none of us have never ever heard them sing. We have heard their voice manipulated through Auto-tune.

There is no way one can produce a list like this and have pre auto-tune singers and post auto-tune singers in the same list.

And yet most were/are multi-millionaires.

1) Janis Joplin
2) Yoko Ono
3) Bob Dylan
4) Rod Stewart
5) Axl Rose

First time I heard a Madonna song on radio I actually thought it was a comedy parody of intentional "bad singing." Kinda like the old
Saturday Nite Live tv show skits from the 70s. Bill Murray as the baaaad sleazy hotel lounge singer etc... Well she never went away and
I hear she is a gadzillionaire. So much for my music / singer rating skills.

 

[Trav]

Oh god that Yoko is enough to make you run out of the house like your hair was on fire.

 

[cb450sc]

I would have to say Burton Cummings of the Guess Who. That is a band that should have been in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 20 years ago

 

[GON]

1) Janis Joplin
2) Yoko Ono
3) Bob Dylan
4) Rod Stewart
5) Axl Rose

Gman, you list is good, but maybe a * should be next to Rod Stewart.

During an interview, Rod Stewart was asked about his voice. He was very direct when he said "what voice".... Rod Stewart's lack of voice is what makes it work for him, very unlike others on your list.

 

[Blackstack]

Ozzy Osbourne overrated? I don't know the criteria of what makes a good/bad singer but the Ozzman definitely has a unique singing voice. Nobody quite like him that I can think of.

Janis Joplin and Willy Nelson are two that come to my mind for being overrated. Chris Cornell is probably my all time favorite singer.

That's kind of why Dylan gets a pass from most people I think. He's just doing his own thing.

Not sure I align Rod Stewart's success with Bob Dylan.

As a young man, a Rod Stewart song might make the night more enjoyable on a date. A Bob Dylan song might make my date want to quit doing personal hygiene.

 

[stormgol]

ozzy is clearly technically the weakest singer sabbath ever had, but he has a distinctive voice and was there when iommi pioneered the riffs that made metal music. but dio and tony martin eat him alive technically, especially tony martin.

Definitely concur with Willie Nelson being overrated. The key to Willie's future success was the song he wrote for Patsy Cline (Crazy). I suspect Willie despises a majority of his fans. Can't believe he gets royalties every month to have a satellite radio channel named after him. But like they say, 18 people control 99 percent of the music played in the USA. Six people in New York City, six people in Nashville, and six people in Los Angelos.

Not to mention he rode the coat tails of a man named Waylon Jennings.
