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?

Billy Gibbons has a great voice by the way, as does Elvis Costello and many others listed here. What's the standard? Opera? A great voice is one that gets the point across mostly in tune...serves the song as it were. Lots of so-called "great" singers don't get that done, so I'll take Johnny Cash all day...an actual GREAT singer.

I agree for many of the above mentioned but i would add Jim Kerr who just makes meaninless words from vowels just to fit in the pattern. Ozzy does not have a great voice but is mostly enjoyable (Sabbath period), as is Iggy Pop, Neil Young, Brian Johnson, Joey Ramone, Anthony Keidis, ... Of course i am not enjoying Yoko.
