Mocked and wrongly said to be bad yes but my favorite voice out there! - Hannah

I'm surprised to see Blake Shelton here. But I guess it is true. I mean, Michael Bublé mocked his voice. Even my sister did.

3 Scott Stapp Scott Stapp is an American singer, songwriter, and musician, known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of hard rock bands Creed and Art of Anarchy. He also has two solo albums: The Great Divide and Proof of Life.

And for bloody good reason!

It's unfortunate.

4 Geddy Lee Gary Lee Weinrib, known professionally as Geddy Lee, is a Canadian musician, singer and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist for the Canadian rock group Rush.

I once read about a critic who apparently described Geddy's voice as "a munchkin delivering a sermon"! I love Rush, but I still think that's funny.

5 Geoff Tate Geoff Tate is a German-born American singer and musician who rose to fame in the 1980s with the progressive metal band Queensrÿche.
6 Max Cavalera Massimiliano Antonio "Max" Cavalera is a Brazillian singer, guitarist, and songwriter who currently plays in heavy metal bands Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, and Killer Be Killed.

12 Eddie Vedder Eddie Vedder is an American musician, singer and songwriter best known as a member of the rock band Pearl Jam, with whom he performs lead vocals and is one of three guitarists.

Scott Stapp took Eddie Vedder's voice and used it as is own. Scott Stapp is a less energetic Eddie Vedder.

13 Robert Plant Robert Anthony Plant (born 20 August 1948) is an English musician, singer, and songwriter best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the rock band Led Zeppelin.

While many view Robert Plant as one of the all-time greats, even he isn't safe from mockery. His vocal performance in "Kashmir", specifically, is often parodied.

My favourite singer but yes he has a perverted voice which sounds like a girl moaning during sex. No insult to him. Living legend. Led Zep us the best

14 Sammy Hagar Samuel Roy "Sammy" Hagar, also known as The Red Rocker, is an American rock vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, musician and entrepreneur.
15 Ozzy Osbourne John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne was born on December 3, 1948. He is also known as ''The Prince of Darkness''. Ozzy is an English singer, songwriter, and television personality. He rose to prominence in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the band Black Sabbath. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath ...read more.

Ozzy's voice isn't that bad, yet some people call it awful. And he's one of the greatest and most influential musicians in the music industry. I LOVE Ozzy! I wish I could meet him someday, although I probably won't get to. Ozzy is AWESOME!

16 Steven Tyler Steven Tyler is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and former television music competition judge, best known as the lead singer of the Boston-based rock band Aerosmith, in which he also plays the harmonica, and occasional piano and percussion.

I like him but he is good at singing

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'm surprised he's not on here already. Even though I like him, I don't like his voice, so if you mock his voice, I'm not gonna be that incensed.

Polyphonic did a video on this.

20 Stevie Nicks Stephanie Lynn "Stevie" Nicks is an American singer and songwriter, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and an extensive solo career, which collectively have produced over forty Top 50 hits and sold over 140 million albums.

His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy. ...read more.

Most people who imitate Elvis Presley don't mock him; they pay tribute. And rightfully so; he may be overrated, but he had a great voice.

By far the singer who is most often imitated. There are more Elvis impersonators than all other singers put together.

23 Jim Morrison James Douglas "Jim" Morrison was an American singer, songwriter, and poet best remembered as the lead singer of the Doors.

Imitated often, but never mocked.

Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang".
