I don't think Ozzy or Cobain belong on the list. Their singing is okay, in my opinion. But I can't agree with the either/or of emotive vs. technically a good singer. If you're going to try to sing (especially professionally), do it decently. Madonna improved herself. Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin - the sheer vocal unpleasantness negates the rest.
