I'm glad you included Aaron Neville, although I would have had him much higher than #24.  Including Otis Redding was very appropriate too.  Gregg Allman doesn't even make your list?  Wowie Zowie man is about all I can say.  He's my favorite singer, EVER.  I think that David Bowie, Roger Daltrey and Mike Love are glaring omissions here as well.  I also have a big issue with John Mayer at #2.  Great guitar player but I never cared much for his voice.  He wouldn't even make my list.  But hey, as they say, it's all subjective.  It's your list, not mine.  Oh, I really like Warren Haynes as a vocalist as well and I'm glad you put him high up there.

I did think of Gregg Allman & ROger Daltrey, but Pete Pardo who moderates the channel included them both in his list, and at times when I follow these topics, I like to challenge myself and not pick who he picks. And like I said, my list wasn't really ranked. I was just going off the top of my head at the time, I'd already decided that Paul Rodgers would be #1 in my list when this theme started. Also, now that it's September, the new theme will be Favorite Guitarists, which will be another very tough one!!
