Tubb is legitimately one of the top 10 country singers of all time and legitimately sucks at singing, lol. To his defense a tonsillectomy changed his vocal chord. It changed a good singing voice into what you hear on records.

Probably because he's awesome. By far my favorite musician of all time.

Stephen Malkmus- Pavement
Bob Dylan
Billy Bragg
Jeffrey Lee Pierce-Gun Club
Thurston Moore-Sonic Youth
Doug Martsch- Built to Spill
Neil Young
.....Most bands/ singers I like are not technically good singers. But they have a unique voice and phrasing that lifts their songs above more gifted singers.

Because he has the voice of an angel; so soothing.

Bob can't sing for shite, his voice is grating, and he basically has the opposite of Jerry's and yet I love his voice too: LINK.

Yeah I actually enjoy Bob's deeper/grittier voice to compliment Jerry's. Some of my favorite Dead songs are sung by Bob

Mine's up close to that too.

Jimi Hendrix wasn't a great singer, but love to listen to him...he wasn't too bad on the guitar.

It's hard for me to pick guys out because i tend to like "bad" singing voices better than "good" ones.

I like that rough, lifetime of straight whiskey and cigarettes, voice.

After his vocal chords got torn up he wasn't the same. But back in the day he could nail em.
