Worst Rock Singers of All Time

The Top Ten
1 David Bowie David Robert Jones, known professionally as David Bowie (January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016) was an English singer born in London, the son of a fundraiser and a waitress. He is credited for his experimental and creative musical discography which has won praise and accolades for many critics and fans. The man who the world knew as David Bowie was an actor, a painter, a philosopher, and many other things. But first and foremost, and what he was known for most, he was a rock star, covering every genre from psychedelic folk to industrial. His influence on fashion, music, and pop culture in general remains as his legacy--along, of course, with his unforgettable music.

What the hell? He's a good singer and is considered a legend by many.

How is he number 1?!

There's nothing "rock" about his music whatsoever. He still sucks nonetheless.

Worst singer ever, however, he is not a rock singer. Why do people think BOTDF is rock? It is not even rock music, it is crunkcore.

Wait, how is BOTDF rock? Anyways, he's a billion times worse than the other bad ones here.

He has such a beautiful voice! (Sarcasm used)

3 Bono Paul David Hewson, known by his stage name Bono, is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, venture capitalist, businessman, and philanthropist. His original nickname was Bono Vox which means "big voice".

His unemotional drone of a voice is the exact same in every song. Dreadful.

He is overhated. His voice is quite good. He only gets hate cause U2 mix pop in their music.

4 Pierre Bouvier - Simple Plan Pierre Charles Bouvier (Born May 9, 1979) is a French-Canadian musician and composer, best known as the vocalist and frontman for the pop-punk band Simple Plan.

6 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.

Great songwriter but not very good vocals

He make my ears bleed! Even Justin Bieber ain't half as annoying listen to!

He should be at number 1

The Contenders
11 Dani Filth - Cradle of Filth

He ruined Hallowed Be Thy Name with his horrid screeching. Enough said.

12 Anthony Kiedis - Red Hot Chili Peppers Anthony Kiedis is an American singer and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist of the band Red Hot Chili Peppers, which he has fronted since its inception in 1983.

I don't like his rap vocals. But his slow paced singing is quite good.

To me, he can’t sing, but he puts his heart in his voice, and it turns out to be one of the best rock voices I’ve ever heard. Just take a look at his by the way albums and stadium arcadium

13 Ronnie Radke Ronald Joseph Radke is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, musician, and record producer born in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the current singer of the band Falling In Reverse and is the former singer of Escape The Fate.

Can't stand this guy. He literally sounds like a screeching cat being run over by a truck. Even Nickelback has a better singer than this unlistenable idiot.

Axl Rose? Dave Mustaine? Ozzy Osbourne? Jim Morrison? David Lee Roth? This list is rubbish!

15 Seth Putnam - Anal C*nt
16 Scott Stapp - Creed 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.

I don't like his voice

19 Wes Scantlin - Puddle Of Mudd Wesley Reid "Wes" Scantlin is an American songwriter, lead singer, guitarist, and the only remaining founding member of the American post-grunge band Puddle of Mudd.
20 Frankie Palmeri - Emmure

Mustaine is best known as a pioneer in Thrash Metal, being the former lead guitarist of Metallica before his dismissal in 1983, leading to finding and becoming the front man of his own band Megadeth shortly after.

Great guitarist, but my god his vocals suck.

The one who made this list is clearly deaf.

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

Worst? I'm sorry but the only correct ones on this list are Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain

24 Chris Barnes Chris Barnes is an American musician mainly noted for his deep-throat vocals, explicitly violent lyrics. Barnes was a founding member of Cannibal Corpse before his dismissal and would later form Six Feet Under, which he fronts to this day.
