Default Great Singers Who Can't Sing
Sometimes you get a singer who just can't sing. They have a ****ty voice, are technically incompetent, or whatever. And yet they're great vocalists due to their emotional quality or ability to work within their sound. And honestly, sometimes those are the best singers of all, since they don't let technique get in the way of expression. Gimme yo favs!

*no extreme metal/hardcore vocalists*

Lou Reed and Sinatra can both only hit about six notes between them, but they're both fantastic. The two most obvious examples are out of the way now.

Ja, no. You try hitting those notes.
