Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?


There have been successful singers in almost any style that realistically did not have a "golden" voice.  Perhaps guilty pleasures.  Who are yours?

The voices that come to mind for me have already been repeatedly listed here. I was surprised to see Roy Orbison's voice listed. He wouldn't have made my list. Nevertheless, the thread has got me thinking perhaps there really is no such thing as a bad voice. Talent can make use of whatever is available.

Roy Orbison “doesn’t have a great voice?”

Wow.  Those are some high standards.

I love the sound of Kurt Cobain, Lemmy, Lou Reed, Roger Miller and John Sebastian’s voices.

I wouldn’t say any of those guys were proficient vocalists, but I’ll be darned if I don’t love the sound of their voices.
