there are many who cant sing but are still exremely talented artists, i think that singing is 1 factor that makes a good artist but in most cases it is certainly not the deciding factor or even the most important, for example the following artists cannot really sing particularly well however it can easily be argued that anyone can sing depending on whos listening.
Bob dylan
Syd barret
daniel johnston
tom waits
jim morrison
ozzy osborne
all the above have been criticised many times as being unable to sing however their own contributions to music are substantial and in some cases genre changing and trend setting. Some iconic even. The question isnt who can sing but who is simply a poor artist overall or is overated or who wasted their talents.
