Billy Corgan is the patron saint of bad rock singers. His voice is legitimately awful. And I say this as a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins' pre-electronica music.

Selena Gomez. Hugely popular, massive loyal fanbase.

Cant carry a tune to save her life. Seriously, check out some of her live singing on Youtube. It's awful.

Brian Johnson (AC/DC, 1980-present) is terrible now, was terrible on his prime. I don’t know how they managed his voice on Back in Black, because he couldn’t touch those notes singing live.

Bob Dylan
the old Dylan was in the Woody Guthrie speaksing tradition, and usually was smart enough to stay within his very limited range.
quote:

Elvis Costello
Very effective within his range, an excellent stylist
quote:

Mick Jagger
Like Dylan, he knew enough not to go outside his range

A lead vocalist from the same era whose limited voice was exposed much more often was Keith Relf of The Yardbirds. He was probably the most limited singer of any major British Invasion band.

He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Why did you reply to me? I never mentioned Huey Lewis

The only thing they have in common is EC's first album used HL's backing band. The playing is pretty stiff (especially the drumming); when EC put together The Attractions for his second album you could hear an exponential leap in musical inspiration.

Kafka, I’m sorry, but is there a problem?
