Mansin Humanity Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 3 hours ago, Oldest Goat said: What specifically makes you think that? As I said the list is dumb and I'd change a lot. That being said I want to be clear on something - maybe this doesn't apply to you specifically since you're giving Aretha Franklin her dues - if someone sees legendary black/motown artists such as Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, James Brown etc being ranked highly and they think "Ah, woke politics virtue signalling." then that person is a stupid little racist amoeba cunt. The special classic black American artists created the blues, gospel, soul and rock. And they directly inspired and influenced literally all other artists who followed. They objectively mean a lot. And sadly they have infamously often been fucked over and ripped off. They deserve respect, admiration and gratitude. If someone would simply rank their personal favourites to their liking? Sure whatever. But for some piece of shit to disrespect these artists and reduce them to political tokens? Fuck that shit. Not on my watch. one of the best posts i've seen in almost 20 years on this godforsaken website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratam Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) I think that Aretha first place is will deserve, all others places are debatable. Edited January 4, 2023 by Ratam Error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Any list that doesn't include Michael Hutchence among the top singers is bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyVinyard Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The Rolling Stone lists are subjective. I'll take the objective list that named Axl the GOAT any day over opinions of those with poor taste in music. Axl Rose, objectively, the greatest singer of all time: The Vocal Ranges of the Greatest Singers | ConcertHotels.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I’m not even gonna peep the list, ‘cause these types of lists are dumb, subjective, and designed to get people complaining. It’s like the tired ass Jordan vs. Lebron debate. To me, peak Axl Rose was peerless. No one in rock had that special blend of range, power, and pure menace. He’s 1 in my book, and likely always will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factor in Beyonce's huge impact on the music world with her voice, as well as Mariah and Whitney, etc. I am not saying I like any of their voices subjectively more than Freddie or Axl, but you sure as hell can make much more of a logical statement about things than simply "they intentionally left out white musicians in the top 10 because of identity politics and wokeness" But now you gave us here an interest point of view. This list is not about the "best" singers vocal and technical wise, but for the singers that had more impact in the music industry! Now that makes sense.

Or Geoff Tate or Layne Staley. Kick Cobain (or his wife) off this list and throw Layne on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDwolfwood Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Shit list, but that's no surprise, this is Rolling Stone magazine after all. Ariana Grande above MJ???? Freddie Mercury below Lennon??
