John Hiatt, but his voice is perfect for his music...It's kinda like another instrument.

   I also think Tom Waits voice is perfect with his music

Neil Young, probably one of the whinyest tone deaf people ever recorded!

 

Hank Williams Jr.! Flat, sharp, and never in tune!  If it hadn’t been for his daddy, he would’ve never gotten a contract.

 

Toby Keith.  Worse than HWJr.!

 

Madonna. Over sensationalized garbage that just can’t sing!

 

Niki Manaj. Along with almost every rap artist living or dead including J Lo, Beyonce, (I say “almost” because I haven’t listened to a lot of rap and surely there MUST be one of ‘em that can carry a tune) and all of the male rappers too!

 

It should be noted that rap ain’t music!! It might be performance art or poetry put on with some semblance of instrumentation in the background. IT AIN’T MUSIC!!

I don't know but a few of thesefolks.  

 

Willies Nelson isn't a great singer, but he writes great music and puts on a fantastic show.

 

Johnny Cash was a moderately good singer and a marvelous showman.

To be a truly great singer AND songwriter is a rare gift. If I had to pick one person who is an amazing songwriter but not the best singer it would be Gordon Lightfoot.

Now, there's name from the middle of the last century.

A lot of people will say that John Prine couldn’t sing, but the voice and style fit the music!

 

That same thing goes for Dylan, Nelson, definitely Zevon, and Leon Russell.

most i would say could pull it off given the right studio environment - im thinking of Kris Kristofferson , and i think willie held his own quite well

Lennon and McCartney. They both wrote some great stuff but I wouldn't call either of them good singers. Paul is better than John but only slightly.
