Then I guess you haven't heard many who sang in the tradition - Al Stewart, Roy Harper, Nick Drake for instance are  more the exception - check out Richard Thompson, Martin Carthy, Dave Swarbrick for comparison, i.e.  who were once called the finger-in-one-ear brigade. Or the lady folk vocalists, e.g.  the much praised recent release of the Unthanks represents the N.E English branch of new and old traditions of Anglo Celtic folk fused:

His guitar mastery speaks for itself, but that voice - deep and pained yet soft and welcoming.  In my opinion, the ideal UK folk vocalist.....the whole of the Pentangle, really.  Fabulous instrumentalists and vocalists (did Terry sing?).
 
We missed the tour with Neil Young last year because of work....another reason to quit that frankin' job.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Very sad. I was lucky enough to see him in Pentangle a few years. What a stunning performance!

As a matter of fact, I have listened to every single one of those mentioned in your list, since folk is my main interest here. However, I still stand by my initial statement. If I don't consider him a good singer, that does not mean I don't acknowledge his overall musical talent. Quite the contrary. ;)
