Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?


There have been successful singers in almost any style that realistically did not have a "golden" voice.  Perhaps guilty pleasures.  Who are yours?

I like Willy Deville, especially his later performances.

He seems to combine Dylan with a few others mentioned in this in this thread.

Joe Jackson, Richard Hawley, Lucinda Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Costello, Jonathan Richman (Modern Lovers), Christie Hynde, Ryan Adams, Joe Strummer,... there's kind of a lot if you really think about it. 

No one but Warren Zevon could sing 'Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner'...

Probably why there are no covers.
