Bob Dylan doesn't need to do sporting events. He's rich as all get out.

Kris Kristofferson.

He's a helluva songwriter though.

Most heavy metal front men.

Vince Neil
Sebastian Bach
come to mind after seeing them live. Bach admitted on stage he is not as good as before due to age and weight affecting breath control.

Elton is great but vocally he's done.

Dave Mustaine's always been an especially terrible singer. He had to front Megadeth because the band is basically a big "Frick you" to Metallica for booting him, but still, he sounds wretched.

His voice is like nails to a chalkboard to me. I’ve never been able to listen to Megadeth.

He'll never be confused for one of The Three Tenors, but I'll argue Cobain's voice was perfectly suited for the music he was making.

Very talented singer, just has a unique voice. I get that some don't like it, but he's not a bad singer.

He is now. His voice was shot 10 years ago. Same thing with Diamond Dave and Paul Stanley. They were great in their prime, but their voices are basically gone at this point.

Are females immune to this? I guess what I am asking is, are fans way more tolerant of bad males singers?
