Bob Dylan

All amazing songwriters, lyricists and idiosyncratic singers and I love their work but wouldn’t get through the first round of X factor.

Lemmy did not really sing (more of a "growl") but effective for Motorhead and much missed.

Cerys Matthews is a fucking dreadful singer. I don't like her so maybe she doesn't qualify for this thread. Luke

This might be controversial but I'd nominate Adele

Granted she's got a powerful voice but it ain't always the right note

Torquay

As mentioned Dylan, it doesn't matter entirely provided you have a very distinctive voice, with Dylan it's more of a drawl but it does suit the songs. Might explain why so many have covered his material also

"Lily Allen!! "

Who sang a song called Fuck You which they often play uncensored in French supermarkets which can be a tad strange listening to

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU VERY MUCH blasting out whilst down the veg bit.

Don’t think she can sing that well but how can you not love her! Maybe strange at first but even heaven will probably have an adjustment period
