Freddie Mercury should be number 2. (number 1 is, well, spot on)

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #3 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:21:15 PM »

What an awful fucking list.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #4 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:28:55 PM »

Al Green >>> Marvin Gaye and it's not even close.

McCartney and Dylan overrated as usual and Stevie Wonder should always be in the top 5. Forever.

Also, Xtina higher than Mariah Carey? Hahahahah

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #5 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:37:02 PM »

My grandma thinks Frankie Valli should be ranked higher!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #6 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:42:09 PM »

I have a hard time believing that there were 17 better singers than Freddie Mercury in the 20th century, in any genre. He's top 5.

Personally for me, Marvin Gaye is #1. And the absence of Nick Drake from the list at all is criminal.

Why isn't Freddie Mercury #1? who are these clowns?

Gaye was a better pure singer. Green is a crooner

Anyway, Cooke should be #1, or at least the top male singer

@ Lennon in top 10
Dylan

Elvis

Rod Stewart is, or was, an excellent singer, he just happens to also be a jackass and has chosen to have a seriously terrible career for whatever reason. As I've pointed out several times, his early stuff is pretty damn good.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:06:45 PM »

Freddy Mercury and Roy Orbison are both way too low.

I love Nirvana but I have to

@ Cobain being one of the 50 best singers of all time. I wonder how someone can even defend that decision. They must have a different definition of singing than I do.

Robo · « **Reply #17 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:07:55 PM »

This seems to be more of a celebration of excellent front-men/women than singing ability.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #18 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:12:40 PM »

Then Freddie Mercury should still be higher.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #19 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:16:54 PM »

Yeah, if you're talking best front man of all time, Freddie Mercury would be number one and David Lee Roth would be number two. Eat a dick if you disagree.

Robo · « **Reply #20 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:19:56 PM »

Lou Reed is on the list fer chrissakes!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #21 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:24:22 PM »

Lou Reed in the sixties but no Leonard Cohen?

WTF

I love GNR and am not a huge fan of Soundgarden but that fact alone renders this list moot and fucking stupid.

Anyone with an ear that works knows that Cornell can sing his fucking ass off. I like Axl's 'singing' too but damn, how can they leave Cornell off this list?

Bruce Dickinson is one of the best male singers ever, he should have been on the list. But fuck Rolling Stone anyway. That magazine is gay. It's too bad it's extremely popular.

The list might have been more accurate if it was a list of the most memorable singers rather than the greatest.
