In the early days of the Stones he was at least singerly. He is definitely singing on "Ruby Tuesday" etc. But he became a barker. He barks more than sings. In fact, pot does that to the voice. He basically has pot-voice, like a lot of reggae vocalists.

He dances better then he sings live now a days.

19 Bob Dylan Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, author, and artist who has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for more than five decades.

I wouldn't say Bob (ha! Bob! ) lost his voice; this would imply that he had a voice to lose. Excellent songwriter, bad narrator.

20 Paul Di'Anno Paul Andrews better known as Paul Di'Anno, is an English singer best known as the first vocalist to record with heavy metal band Iron Maiden, from 1978 to 1981.

He was terrific in his early Iron Maiden days. But it seems as though he can't really sing anymore. He just barks in the microphone and when he sings, he doesn't hit the right notes. Maybe if he drank more water and stopped smoking... He sure can yell, though.

Bruce aged much better.

23 Don Dokken

He has lost his voice he usually lets the crowd sing the songs

24 Danny Worsnop Danny Robert Worsnop is an English musician, singer and songwriter, prominently known as the lead vocalist of rock bands Asking Alexandria and We Are Harlot.

Too much alcohol and drugs, thank god he stopped before it was as bad as say oliver sykes.

25 Meat Loaf Michael Lee Aday, better known by his stage name Meat Loaf, was an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor. He was noted for his powerful, wide-ranging operatic voice and theatrical live shows. His debut album, "Bat Out of Hell", is still one of the top-selling albums ever in the UK.

Look up his performance at the 2011 AFL Grand Finals. His voice sounds shaky, and he hits absolutely none of the high notes. Even though they're playing a half step down, he still can't stay on key. This is why you don't oversing constantly while on tour. You lose your range and power.
