Worst singers that somehow made it big? I'll start with Bruce Springsteen.

Bob Dylan

I grew up not caring for Bob Dylan but man, what a genius. I now love it.

Supercoug

Bob Dylan is crazy. Terrible, terrible voice, but I still like his music.

Yeah. He sounds like he has a sinus infection but dude can write.

Yet you hate Johnny Cash? 😉

Jul 8, 10:56am

Yeah, but that's the thing about music, or any art, it's subjective. I don't

Did you start at #1 or #500?

Jul 8, 11:06am

I did it the wrong way. I started at 1. I realize this is stupid, but it was

Russell Feathers

I gotta give you credit. I started trying to make it through the 500 today.

Natedog916

Jul 8, 5:17pm

I started like that initially. I didn’t love it. I didn’t think I could make it

Russell Feathers

So far so good. Don’t hate it. It would be cool to get a group of people to do

Huh? She's not a great singer, but she's not bad, either.

Disagree

Peter Venkman

Jul 8, 10:35am

I guess I don't understand what makes her a bad singer as opposed to a mediocre

russkiejedi

Jul 8, 10:39am

When she sang live as a country artist, before voice tracks and autotune

Peter Venkman

OK. But given your apparent affinity for Geddy Lee's voice, I suppose we're

If you're looking at gap between fame/following and voice talent...it's a

Duke Silver

Jul 8, 10:41am

Yeah, but that's not really the question. Her voice is adequate for her songs,

russkiejedi

Jul 8, 10:44am

Her fame is due much more to her marketing & branding than it is her writing IMO

machete

Jul 8, 11:11am

Eh. She needed to have something to market and brand. Her voice and looks are

If I had two POTDs this would be my second, but Bruce is more confusing to me because he's a solo artist. At least Rush

Ozzy was an awesome singer, what are you smoking?

Peter Venkman

I love that early Sabbath, but come on.

DubuMfalme

Despite that, there are a ton of people who would disagree.

My young kids loved Jack Johnson because of that monkey movie

Jack Johnson's voice is fine, but his music got so boring so fast. Mayer's voice
