Whether it's one or the other, these groups to follow are considered by many to be the worst musicians of their time, and may go on as the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-worst-bands-of-all-time" target="_blank">worst bands ever</a>. While we don't all mean to be so cruel, these bands have to find out someway or another. And hey, maybe they'll start making some good music—it's doubtful, though.Determining the worst music artists&nbsp;can be quite subjective, but these singers, bands, and rappers to follow earned it. While many of who's considered the worst artists out fall under the pop and rap genres,&nbsp;it's not all pop singers and hip-hop artists. Plenty of bands know how to make bad music as well. Just ask the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-rock-bands/ranker-music" target="_blank">worst rock bands of all time</a>.From annoying little teenagers to washed-up men&nbsp;who just need to quit making music, this list of the worst current musicians has them all.

When it comes to 2021&#39;s most popular music&nbsp;artists, who do you think takes the cake as the most famous singer in the world? While we all have our own idea&nbsp;of who the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/20-greatest-singers" target="_blank">best singers of all time</a> are, the most famous takes a little more into account. Sure, many of these popular singers could also be considered the best ever or&nbsp;the best of their time, but talent isn&#39;t the only factor in determining the most famous singers in the world right now. In determining who&#39;s number one, you might also consider who often makes the headlines in 2021, who releases the most chart-topping songs, or even who has the best image.

With all of this in mind, singers like Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and The Weeknd&nbsp;could all top the list of popular singers out right now. However, these big names are just a few of the world&#39;s most famous current singers. You also have Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-new-female-artists/ranker-music" target="_blank">top female vocalists</a>&nbsp;Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, and so many more.

One of the most debated topics in music is who are the greatest singers of the past 30 years. Whether you're a huge Whitney Houston fan, or you've never missed one of Mariah Carey's live Christmas concerts, the best <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-singer-of-the-year?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">modern singers</a> of the last 30 years are some of the greatest talents the world has ever seen.

For many, Madonna tops the list. When Madge arrived on the scene in the early '80s, she completely rocked the world of pop music with her third single, &quot;Holiday,&quot; and blew everyone away. She followed that up with hit classics like &quot;Lucky Star,&quot; &quot;Like a Virgin,&quot; and &quot;Material Girl,&quot; and the rest was history. Although his time on earth was short, Kurt Cobain revolutionized the grunge music scene with his gravely vocals and unruly guitar sounds. Cobain's unique combination of singing and screaming earned him a spot among the best on this list. &nbsp;Other <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-male-singers-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite singers</a> on this list include Celine Dion, Prince, Sting, Billy Corgan, and many others.

Who is the best songwriter alive today? The musician responsible for the lyrics and music that&#39;s the most memorable, significant and lasting in all of rock history, who is still with us today. We&#39;re talking, over the course of an entire career, the person who has written the most great songs--the best songwriters of the 21st century. A few things to keep in mind: (1) Songwriting teams are acceptable if they truly worked together (for example, Elton John writing music to Bernie Taupin&#39;s lyrics). When possible, as in the case of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, separate them and focus on individual songwriting. (2) LIVING songwriters. Living. (3) I think the ratio of &quot;great songs&quot; to &quot;not good songs&quot; is important to consider. If someone has 2 classic albums of great songs and then 5 albums worth of garbage, that impacts the overall view of the career, no matter how good the original work was. Something to keep in mind.

The best rock vocalists of all time are the frontmen of our favorite rock bands or those solo artists whose voices are some of the best ever. These talented men and women of rock could easily captivate audiences with just their vocals. Their voices set them and their bands above the rest and define them as the best rock <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/20-greatest-singers?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">singers of all time</a>. List includes both men and women.&nbsp;

To be included on this list, the vocalists must be primarily known for their association with rock music and (obviously) must have a great voice. That really doesn&#39;t narrow down the many greatest rock singers in recent rock music history, though a certain few stand out as above and beyond all the rest. Greats like Robert Plant, David Bowie, Steve Perry and Neil Young come to mind, as do icons like Bono, Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen.

While there are many notable vocalists of today&#39;s rock music, arguably many of the best rock vocalists of all time are those from earlier generations. Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury from Queen, John Lennon from The Beatles, Jim Morrison from The Doors and Bob Dylan are only a few of some of the best rock vocalists ever but also some of the most influential singers of all time. Freddie Mercury especially had an amazing voice and was ranked second only to Mariah Carey by <a href="/list/mtv_s-best-voices-in-music-ever/music-lover">MTV for the best voices in music ever</a>.

A perfect combination of range, power, articulation and control is needed to become one of the <a href="/list/rolling-stones_-100-greatest-vocalists-of-all-time/music-lover">greatest vocalists of all time</a>. All of those can be taught but the natural ability to have that golden voice, as all of these great rock vocalists possess, is nothing that can be learned. Have a favorite rock singer that we missed? Think one vocalist should be above another? Want to put these singers in your own order? You can do all that and more be voting on, re-ranking and adding rock vocalists below! Rock on!
