Steve sounds fine. Obviously he can't be singing all the same stuff he could in the '80s but if that's our metric we should be eviscerating Tom Jones right about now.

it'd be cool if Steve made better music tho

James LaBrie. Oof. But what do you expect?

Harry Nilsson for #1. His decline just makes me sad tbh.

Robert Plants prime was extremely short lived but he adapted pretty well.

I remember hearing that Marvin Gaye's voice was in decline before he passed, probably because of his drug use and just exhaustion. This vid probably confirms this to be the case. I don't know if this is an example of his voice being in actual decline or him just being hoarse, though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rtxaGJ_p-o
