I like the song(s) but I don't care for the artist(s)
There are loads of great songs performed by less-than great artists when judged solely by their personalities or lifestyle.I'm starting off with David Lee Roth, the on and off front man for the mega rockers Van Halen.
David would walk in front of (upstaging) other members during interviews. Talk about a big ego... Like a rock star with a cocaine high. He was always over the top and extremely annoying. His attempt of a solo career had lots of highs but mostly lows. His voice wasn't lacking, I'll guess it's probably due to his personality.
Teamed up with Steve Vai on guitar, this song rocks!

I read in a few places that Beck was one of the most difficult people to get along with., treating his band mates like hired hands. He's having steak dinners and they are eating hard-boiled eggs.
Stewart and Wood join The Faces (formally The Small Faces) achieving limited success and after, Stewart goes solo becoming a major success while Wood joins The Rolling Stones... leaving Beck in his solo world with player after player, probably because no one really wanted to tolerate his BS.
Fantastic guitarist, limited appeal as a person.
Over the years, he's played with greats like Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, but all around him had soaring careers, while Beck was stuck in the mud.
Stewart was nice enough to record a few songs with Beck, keeping him from obscurity.
He went into seclusion for more than a decade and was belligerent to anyone who sought him out for interviews. It was my understanding that he wasn't credited as one of the artists of the songs he recorded, so he didn't receive royalties from the record sales. His only income was from concert and paid performances. After there were no gigs to perform he became a grouchy old man running out of money.
Rag-and-bone man
electronic music many more depending on my mood i play
