I agree with Bill that Serj Tankian can't sing worth a hoot, but the band backing him is tight and professional, period. I'm a big Bob Dylan fan, but he can't sing worth a damn either, but it didn't stop Charlie Daniels from launching his career with him. Willie Nelson can't sing, or Johnny Cash for that matter, IMO. Can you say monotone? But that doesn't diminish their talent for songwriting. I refuse to base talent of a band on the singer alone.
For instance, David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar have very limited vocal ranges, but it didn't stop Van Halen from becoming one of the most successful rock bands ever. John Mayall is one of the most well known blues guys of the last 40 years and he can't sing either. The list goes on and on.
