Who are the worst singers to ever be in successful bands?
I'll start with an obvious one: Vince Neil

to be fair to vince when his daughter died from cancer he just gave up on life. he literally just stopped caring about anything. got a really bad eating disorder, became a bad alcoholic, wanted to die.
he hasn't really tried at anything in his life since. he's a shell of a man

Vince Neil is a way better singer than Bob Dylan
Billy Corgan is a way better singer than Bob Dylan
Adam Levine, Eddie Vedder, Rob Thomas, Thom Yorke, Scott Stapp and Chad Kroeger are all way better singers than Bob Dylan

Bullshit. His voice is tolerated because of the extraordinary band he played in.
If a man with that voice were to go to the Karaoke singing Sweet Caroline you would tell him to shut the fuck up.

I never heard a live taping of him where he sounded competent where there wasn't obvious post-prod processing and correction, even back when the band was supposedly "good". Similar to solo Ozzy>>130436954

Bowie was a good singer in the early days but by 1974 or so he'd just trashed his voice from drug use.

Frank Zappa. He knew his singing sucked and that is why he always hired the best vocalists he could find, but as leader he had to sing a lot anyway.
Fuck's sake, he hated lyrics. He only threw them in because he believed that teeny-boppers needed something to sing along to, so he filled his songs with stupid lyrics that were sometimes funny.

Also, he hired these two for a couple of years to be his lead singers.

Couple of singers went from great to awful die to age. Geoff Tate had a golden voice but blew out his chords by 1992 and still tried to sing. Sinatra is the classic example of a world-class singer who just wouldn't quit even when he was croaking like a frog.
