*”Rock was invent for kids who can't sing.”
True enough, but there were some good rock artists in the 60s and 70s who certainly could sing. (Deep Purple, Heart, Kansas etc)*

True. Rock has more good singers than bad ones. But it doesn't seem to be a requirement. However, it is possible to have a good rock tune if the singer is not so hot. There is a lot of good punk with terrible singers IMHO.

Rap on the other hand seems to be “written” by a roomful of hyenas with typewriters

HA! Got me with that one.

A few bad ones..."The Boss" can't sing his way out of a wet paper bag, he just hollers.

Bob Dylan pretty much sucked, Grateful Dead, same thing. Judy Collins never saw a note she liked.

Neil Young was tonally accurate pretty much, kind of whiney, but I liked him (until he got political)
