who is the worst vocalist to have "made it"
Discussion
we've had quite a few of the best of - this is slightly different. Who is the worst vocalist to have hit the big time? For context, I'm not sure you can count Johnny Rotten (for example) as his snarling frustration suited the song to a 'T'.
Two examples stick out for me:
Bob Dylan - may have written some great songs but really hopeless as a singer
Joe Elliot/Def Leppard - the irony is though, that JE was the driving force behind Leppard. IMO a definite case of "they made it despite his vocals rather than because of"

Bit of an obscure one, and only hippies that didn't smoke too much weed will remember them,
but it would be remarkable for all four singers in a band to be tone deaf but
The Incredible String Band managed it.
I was never sure if Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott actually sang or just talked his way through a song,
as did Johnny Cash.
