    Almost everyone on this list (except Yoko Ono) doesn't belong here! How about Lil' Wayne? How about some of those experimental artists?

    One word "SHATNER".

    I'd forgotten about Mrs. Miller. When you're that bad, it's close to being camp, like "Plan Nine from Outer Space". Two other names come to mind: Soupy Sales doing "The Mouse" and Sonny Bono as a solo singing "Laugh at Me". I just might. UPDATE: How did I forget Tiny Tim singing "Tiptoe through the Tulips"? A better question: Why did I have to remember?

    Kanye West might be a brilliant songwriter (if that), but he was exposed on Saturday Night Live as being...well, let's just say he's definitely not as good as he thinks he is (and, unfortunately for this self-absorbed prima donna, he never actually was). William Shatner cannot sing worth a damn, but that's probably common knowledge. Finally, the Baha Men (of "Who Let the Dogs Out" infamy) proves that being seriously untalented and annoying can actually be a blessing when the listening public begins to lower their standards in music.

    WHO forgot Mariah Carey? Her singing is like having a root canal sans anesthetic.

    Bob Dylan is a name which springs directly to mind. I once heard a cover of him performing 'Hallelujah' live, and the vocals were dire...

    Oscar's mention of "Mrs Miller" brought a visceral shudder of terror to me. I thought I'd expunged every trace of that woman's horrific voice and grotesque song "stylings" from my memory... Now they've returned, like post-traumatic shock syndrome.. Thanks a lot, oscar....

    Oh, lots of people, though I'll add the caveat that some people who can't sing well make up for it by being great musicians or songwriters. And some people are great singers but can't play or write, or the material is so atrocious for whatever reason.I'll come out of left field and mention a woman that only raters older than I am may recall; Mrs. Miller was a middle aged woman with horn rimmed glasses and a ridiculously bad operatic voice ;who put out some records around 66/ 67 that had some minor success because they were so over the top in cheesiness. She did a lot of covers that were big at the time.I listened to the MIT college radio station a lot when I was younger because they had a 60's program with the obscure stuff, and they played her version of Tommy Roe's "Sweet Pea," which is one of the worst , most aggravating songs from that era anyway...I almost tied a boulder around my midsection and jumped in a friend's pool after that nightmare...

    No, no, Last Messenger, go on.  I got lots of notes to compare w/you.  Here are a few more--the list should be endless, since there's no end to the lack of talent that virtually assures a spot in Pop Music's Hall of Fame:  Neil Diamond's rasp, Diana Ross' breathy whisper, Celine Dion's mispronunciation, Willy Nelson's sinus infection, Peter Cetera's affectations, Sade's monotony...

    I don't know if I should say that the people I am about to list can't sing or should I say that their voices have a certain quality to them that's very irritating and quite unpleasant to hear. In my opinion, Macy Gray's voice is strange and annoying, Stevie Nicks adn Natalie Merchant sound like little lambs looking for their mama, Gloria Estefan sounds like she is on her last breath, Bruce Springsteen sounds like he is in pain. I think I should stop...

    Lead singer of Rascal Flatts, Macy Gray (I can't stand the sound of her voice, it's the equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard for me), Cher, Ozzy Ozbourne, and I should probably add Louis Armstrong, even though I think he sounded cool, you can't say that he could actually sing very well.

    Bob Dylan has to be one of the worst singers ever, yet he's a great songwriter.

    Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. Couldn't really sing, but then they didn't have to. Dylan was a poet, a social commentator and sage. Hendrix was a great Dylan fan, and allegedly took heart from the fact that Dylan didn't have a great voice, as Hendrix didn't himself. Then again, it never mattered. Jimi's guitar playing was so phenomenal, so beyond what anyone else was doing or even contemplating, that he qualifies as a genius by any standard, as does Dylan.

    Going down these list items you have to wonder just what the list maker considers a good singing voice. I'm surprised the list hasn't been flagged for being non-sensical.

    This was a toss up for me. The worst vocalist in my opinion? Danzig. Any song. Any vocal line. The guy just doesn't have it. Runner up was Meatloaf but he took 2nd place because he sings on key some of the time. Not so with Danzig. Consistantly bad vocals.

    ASHANTE. What is all of the such-a- much about? She has no distinctive singing voice or style!
