Asside from Hung every single person on that list is fantastic. I'll agree some can't sing (Dylan, Ocasek, MAYBE Petty but you try singing Free Falling) but most of them are great singers.

Joe Cocker you really think he can't sing? I think he's got not only a great voice but a unique one. Steven Tyler are you ufckin kidding me??? Listen to Dream On and re-evaluate your opinion of him. To me he is one of the all time best rock vocalists ever..you might as well have thrown down Plant's name if you pick Steven. I love Carly's voice...I happen to think it sounds particularly beautiful in songs like Coming Around Again, Thats The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be, and Nobody Does It Better just to name a few. Shakira cannot sing english too well but some of her earlier Spanish albums are really quite good. Stevie Nicks has been voted best female vocalist before in the past so obviously someone thinks she can sing, although I will admitt she lost her voice quite a bit over the years and it's starting to sound a little froggy. The rest of them I'm not familiar with.

I'm a vocalist myself and I know what good sounds like and one of the ways I can tell is the fact that I can mimic almost anyones voice almost exactly. Whenever I have a hard time singing someones music I know they can sing because they'd have to be able to for me not to be able to do it. Low tones I can sing right along with Cocker and Steven hell even Carly but when they reach their high notes and their screams...nope..can't do it.

Okay in my opinion someone who can't sing at all....is....let me try and think outside of pop music here for a second and try and find someone along the same lines of who you mentioned here...Aha! David Lee Roth! Asside from a few high pitched screams every now and then the guy really isn't a great vocalist at all. Great showman and frontman but anybody who can carry a tune can sing like Diamond Dave. Thats my one example I'll think of more later.

Asta!!
