Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians!

Most vocalists are mediocre pretty much by definition compared to the best.

Many mediocre, and even technically poor vocalists still have the "it" factor to be a "star" and over the years typically get set up with the the most talented musicians available to make a good product.

Bob Dylan demonstrates one need not be even a mediocre vocalist technically or even be overly physically attractive to connect and be a star. I would rather hear Dylan sing any tune he is committed to than than most very good vocalists who may just be going through the motions.

The example of a mediocre vocalist catapulted to stardom that comes to mind is Mick Jagger. I love the Stones but much prefer most studio versions of their stuff to most any live performance mostly due to Mick’s mangling of the vocals in comparison. Just me.

I would also rather hear Lemmy sing his stuff than anyone else. Its a unique though technically flawed instrument as well.

Then of course there is the case of the man Johnny Cash himself.  Often a great but limited and flawed vocalist who probably would be thought  of lesser if any other way.

The Byrds did wonderful versions of Dylan songs. 

Can't think of any other Dylan covers I enjoy as much as Dylan's.

Dylan's is a case of an effective voice.   Not good at all rally technically.  He's also not a great musician either some in the know say.  For all it matters.

This is a pretty pointless thread.
