Yamataka Eye is my favorite male vocalist, and I don't think anything he does can be considered singing. All screams, and screeches.

Derek Shulman of Gentle Giant is one of my lease favorite singers... he makes GG sound like you're having a dinner at Medieval times.

Dylan can sing a hell of a lot better than knopfler. Dylan had a great voice, one of my favorite voices ever. I'll stand by it. I'll never be convinced that he "can't sing". Robert plant is one of the most overrated singers. How many times does someone need to say "ahh-ahh" or "baby-baby"? He's got one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard.

Singers that Can't Sing
 
1. Miranda Cosgrove
I think I saw her live on the Morning Show or something, and my eardrums committed suicide. I don't know why she decided to sing....she should stick to "acting" on crappy kids shows.
2. Ke$ha
90% of the time she isn't even doing what I would call singing.
3. Katy Perry
I agree, she sucks live.

That's all I can think of right now.

Ke$ha can sing. Often she chooses not to, but solid ability is shown on, for example, the "while you're here in my arms" part of "Die Young."

Many people will disagree with me, but here are some famous singers who can't sing in my opinion:
James LaBrie - He can sing only one way (I mean only his style), when he does covers he sounds really bad.
Joe Elliot and Jon Bon Jovi - there are many more people that I could mention along with them. Almost every 80s rock singer sounds the same and doesn't sing something that hard or interesting. (I love those bands, especially Def Leppard, don't get me wrong).
Ozzy Osbourne - Although he has been mentioned already.
Mick Jagger - Although he is my favorite rock star of all time and the Rolling Stones are maybe my favorite band of all time, I'm not fooling myself, and admit that he can't sing that well, too.

Dare I say Kurt Cobain without getting flogged. I'm just not into his voice.

True about Jagger, who seems to get a free pass. Bon Jovi is a decent singer. Joe Elliot has had vocal problems for decades.
