So Rolling Stone has issued another list. This time singers, their top 200. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-singers-all-time-1234642307/rosalia-4-1234642320/
They did the Top 100 in 2010 and brother Gregg was #70. There were some really good singers lower down on the list but needless to say there were some not as good singers higher on the list. I understand, to each his own and at least he was on the list.
ON the new list there are 100 additional slots and most of the great singers moved down on the list compared to 2010. Gregg isn't even on the new list. There must be 100 people or more that I have literally not ever heard of.
It was interesting though to scroll through and compare. I didn't read about how the lists were made but I gathered fans had alot more to do with the 2010 list than the new one.
These lists are always subjective, but the key word is "All-Time". No Enrico Caruso? I could quickly rattle off a bunch of names who I think deserve to be on the list. No offense, but Lou Reed? He and a few of the rap/hip-hop singers are more "spoken word" artists than singers. Like you said, to each his own.
no Gregg?
Courtney Love? Really??
a few others I totally don't understand.
At least Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters made it, and Otis was in top 10
No Gene Simmons? Yes no Gene Simmons and he noticed too and blew a fuse!!
