Top 10 Musicians that Aren't as Talented as Some People Say

Lyrically maybe but musically his guitar solo's and vocals are average at best.

His guitar skills are great and legendary, but he's not the most talented out of all of them. - Mumbizz01

Even he himslef admits he's not very talented at guitar and doing vocals - christangrant

HA, no. - phillysports

There's much more to music than how well you can play a guitar, besides he isn't actually that bad, the sloppy sound is where the genius is. So I personally wouldn't have him on this list. - markclip27

In what way is he talented?

There is literally no talent here

I started hating these guys after I saw them "live". They lip-synced the whole time! - Kfox101

They suck live and there new album was awful

No these guys are very talented although sometimes Tyler's voice can sound hoarse and messed up but they're mostly good and Tyler usually sings good.Josh is also a very good drummer too.All you TOP haters can call me a fanboy but this is just my opinion.-LitSavage

Nah,I think they're great.But that's my opinion.-DarkBoi-X

She is really good though

"Greatest voice of all time" my ass. Luther Vandross is the greatest voice of all time you dumb lambs! - DaWyteNight

I love The Rev, no denying. But even I know there are a lot of better drummers out there. I mean, I don't think its fair to compare him to Dave Lombardo or Mike Portnoy, considering their experience and The Rev's untimely death. The Rev could have been much better overtime had he not suddenly passed away though. - CrimsonShark

He's not the best metal drummer, honestly Dave Lombardo's a lot better in comparison.

Usually in defense of not that good singers I very often I read this: "his/her voice suits his/her songs". But this proves nothing. Of course the songs suit somebody's voice - they were written for his/her voice! Especially singers/songwriters who write songs for themselves. Do you think somebody would write a song for Ozzy that Ozzy couldn't sing? No, because it doesn't make sense.
Ozzy vocal skills aren't very special so all his songs are easy to sing. The level of difficulty of Paranoid is that of a kiddie song. War Pigs - Ozzy sings the entire song of 8 minutes using only one octave of his range! - Metal_Treasure

He's not all that talented to be honest Bruce Dickinson has a higher vocal range.

I honestly have no problem with Osbourne's voice. It fits perfect for Black Sabbath and Solo. - Mumbizz01

The most unique voice, and the best voice for Black Sabbath and his own. The best? No. Can it be imitated? Definitely not. - SoldierOfFortune

People treat her like a goddess when the only thing she’s a “goddess” at is using a crap ton of autotune and overexposing her body. - 3DG20

He did steal some songs but he improvised them and created his own style

She gets overrated very fast. Almost all of her songs are revenge ballads about all her ex boyfriends or comparing herself to popular people. She never comes up with anything new.

He is on 35th of "Greatest Rock Guitarists of All Time" list. Higher than guitarists like James Hetfield and Yngwie Malmsteen. - zxm

Much better drummers in metal out there, even The Rev is better in some aspects... - HiBye

I totally agree with HiBye. Rev is overrated/people think he is good/isn't very talented. But that goes more for Lars. - zxm

When people say "Honestly" or "To be honest", what they really mean is "In MY opinion", nothing more.

Honestly there's far more talented singers out there.

Who said she was talented?

She is, she just wastes it on using autotune and making horrible music. - 445956

He's a decent drummer but his guitar skills are mediocre at best his vocals are at most ok.

She is not talented in anything except making my ears bleed with her lame pop music and her awful voice. - DaWyteNight

Excuse me! NO. He's immensely talented, whether you like his voice or not. He's got a remarkable vocal range, power, sustain and technique. His vocal range is 5 octaves, 2-1/2 notes! For comparison, Pavarotti range is only 2 octaves, 2-1/2 notes. I know about only 5 other singers who's got a range over 5 octaves. This is a rare talent. It's another topic how Axl wasted much of his talent and got a bad reputation. - Metal_Treasure

Honestly his singing's not that great and nowadays he's just a washed up has been, a joke if you will.

There are plenty of other singers who are just as good. He's not the one and only, even though most people try to make him out to be.

Dylan's voice is an acquired taste. It fits and works for him. Interestingly, he's been copied often by Tom Petty, and Springsteen has been incorporating his vocal and instrumental phrasing for decades, and no one seems to mind.

I kinda disagree here. Cause no one likes his voice. Its his song-writing skills that everybody likes. And he is recognized for it. I also don't like his voice. Sometimes I just listen to his tributes. - zxm

Songwriting: 10/10
Singing: 2/10 at the best...

I truly think Bobby is one of the most talented musicians out there.. like, his voice suits his songs, I can't imagine him having a voice of Mercury and singing his songs. Also, his songwriting is probably the best out there along with Roger Waters, just listen to Boots of Spanish Leather, All Along The Watchtower, Jokerman, Hurricane, Girl From the North Country, Positively 45th Street, Idiot Wind, Visions of Johanna. He definitely shouldn't be on this list.

Edit: And I don't even think many people say he is talented (other reasons than his songwriting, which he is as talented at as people say), another reason he shouldn't be on this list. - BrianScott01

David Draiman from Disturbed is more talented in comparison.

I know why he's here.

Anyway, I admit he is one of the greatest vocalists, objectively best. But some people like him to be cool. I once argued with a person (IRL). He said "Freddie Mercury has the biggest vocal range. Even bigger than Mike Patton". And I am sure if I ask some people why do you think Freddie Mercury is the best singer, they won't have anything else other than changing the topic.

(Remember I didn't meant it for actual Freddie's fans. I meant for some people who like him to claim how much good taste they have). - zxm

I agree. Freddie could sing in four octaves and was way more talented than any of these people.

NO, Freddie shouldn't be on this list. To all Freddie haters - face it: Freddie is the best and most talented rock singer. Pavarotti voice is more powerful but Freddie range is much bigger, so I would tie them. Pavarotti range is only 2 octaves, 2-1/2 notes, Freddie - 4 octaves!
However, comparing rock singers with opera singers is "apples to oranges" - Freddie haters just try too hard to convince us (rather themselves) that Freddie isn't talented. Not that they are convincing. - Metal_Treasure

Face it: Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest talent of the 20th century. And I am not a fanatic Queen fan. But I have to admit that he was extremely talented, amazing singer and frontman. He doesn't deserve to be in this list.

I'm sensing Alice Cooper haters. Alice Cooper is a great musician. Plus, to add on to that, he puts on a show and not just a concert when he performs live in concert. His music is awesome and so are his shows. People can say what they want, but Alice is a badass! He shouldn't be here.

Honestly their are far more talented rock musicians.

Ashes hot and all but I dunno if she is rly that good

Pop Sellout Trash - VideoGamefan5

Talented? Seriously?

Oh bug off with the Nickelback hate, he's more talented than a lot of bad musicians.

Pretty basic at most. - cjWriter1997

I don't agree with this one. He is quite talented. He could play bass, vocals, piano, guitar. Even drums. Though I think he's little bit of overrated. But he's quite talented. - zxm

He's not the most talented rock singer ever to be honest.

Yes, he has good vocals (though it may not be liked by many). But I strongly agree his instrumental skills is limited to vocals only. - zxm

Yes she's decent at singing but dear lord people act like she's the most talented female singer alive, again she isn't, if anything Janis Jopelin is more talented in comparison.
