Title: "100 greatest singers"
Post by: sans culottes on November 22, 2008, 11:55:38 PM
This is from like a week ago, but I don't think it's been discussed here.

I'll refrain from complaining in my first post. Actually, I'll say the worst thing about it: FREDDIE MERCURY IS #18.

How the fuck can you put Chuck Berry so high, yet keep The Everly Brothers at 90? Chuck Berry didn't even have all that outstanding of a voice...his act was more about his guitar than anything else.

The Everlys, however, were pure vocal delight.

But yeah, Rolling Stone sucks as usual.

YES I love Billy Joel

The list is alright I suppose. These things never really mean so much to me.
I'm glad to see Morrissey has a spot as well as Joni Mitchell and Bjork.

Sure, he's a douchebag, and sure, his voice sounds like a dying cat. But Jesus Christ, can anyone else get a voice like that? You don't need to be smooth or classically trained to have an amazing voice.

Still though, I don't know where he'd belong. Axl Rose should be best remembered for his great stage performance in the 80s, and for nothing else, really.

But how can you be a great singer if your voice sounds like a dying cat

Axl Rose is better than Tom Waits? Give me a fucking break. Axl would be more at home on the "100 most atrocious singers and human beings" list.

Bjork is actually a good singer though. doodthing;

Even if you don't like her, you should be able to recognize that she has a wide vocal range and is recognizable for a distinct style of very expressive singing.

Also, I think she's Icelandic, not Chinese.
