Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians!

Pat Benatar poor vocally? You might want to schedule a hearing test! The definitive answer eludes me but David Bowie had a voice that makes me nauseous. Not sure how talented his band(s)(studio musicians) were but they had to have much more talent then his over the top vocal theatrics!

I enjoy listening to Pat Benatar band, but not her regardless of her voice quality and yes with many others... How about Patricia Barber? I’d simply like her to shut up and just play piano with her band. Does she have poor voice? Really not sure.

Czarivey-Spot on! Patricia Barber is best used for audio demos not listening pleasure!

+1 dayglow. Pat Benatar's vocals are neither lousy or mediocre.

I never cared for Bowie's voice either, frankly.  Then I found out he patterned himself after Anthony Newley, who I could not stand to listen to, so it all added up.  Different strokes for different folks--I'm sure I listen to artists who make some people's skin crawl.
