Where in tarnation is Levi Stubbs?
Lists are an inane waste of time and perhaps the most obvious piece of evidence that someone doesn’t have anything new to say, but I can’t help it — I love them. Rolling Stone, having recently downsized its format to better look exactly like Blender, just named their “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” and in response, I’m just dying to weigh in with my own thoughts.…

George Harrison! Definitely the most underrated Beatle.

no louis armstrong???
78 - Andy
Dame Shirley Bassey should be in top 10

Mariah, Whitney, Bjork all should have been higher on the list. They have incredible voices from a technical perspective - much more so than almost all of the top 50.
Chris Cornell was brutally robbed and raped in this list. Probably one of the best rock singers of all time - I kept thinking he would have been in the top five as I was clicking through because I hadn't seen him yet.
Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald ? Not on the list? But Elvis is #1? That's laughable. Rolling Stone is merely pandering to its subscribers. The list is "best singers of all time" not "most popular music icons that the rolling stone team has decided are the best"

Sacrilege to exclude Chris Cornell. And Nina Persson will always have a place in my player. Fuck your list. Eddie Vedder! =)

Ronnie James Dio

Did I miss something? . . .Linda Ronstadt's name not on the list? That should be impossible. One of the greatest set of pipes ever in a female singer. Also multiple Rolling Stone covers. How did she get passed over? Forget all the cover songs and evaluate the voice. Top ten all-time in my book.

No mention of Ella Fitzgerald? Judy Garland? Nat King Cole? Frank Sinatra? This list is a joke.
