The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time

Rolling Stone magazine ^ | Rolling Stone

[DallasBiff]

Aretha Franklin described her mission as a singer like this: “Me with my hand outstretched, hoping someone will take it.” That kind of deep, empathetic bond between artist and listener is the most elemental connection in music. And you can think of our list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time as a celebration of that bond. These are the vocalists that have shaped history and defined our lives — from smooth operators to raw shouters, from gospel to punk, from Sinatra to Selena to SZA

No question about Steve Marriott. I sometimes put on Humble Pie to hear him sing rather than to simply listen to a song.

[bankwalker]

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Roger Daltrey
Arthur Brown
Karen Carpenter
Al Stewart

[jonrick46]

I didn’t see Celine Dion or Olivia Newton-John.

[jpsb]

Let me know when they list a singer like this

[jonrick46]

I am sure Rolling Stone would never consider Danielle Bradbery:

[M_Continuum]

Too many in the 60’s and 70’s to list so I’ll say Joss Stone.

Did anyone mention Eric Burdon yet?

[Fungi]

Missing: John Denver, Dean Martin, Cliff Richards, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt, Robert Palmer, Garth Brooks, Roger Miller, Mary Wells, Peggy Lee,

Should not be on: Marianne Faithful, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Ozzy Osbourne, and a few others. What parameters were used to compile this list?

[SamAdams76]

Hopefully Emmylou Harris made the list. My all time favorite singer. Her and Linda Ronstadt could have been sisters.

[Fungi]

Glenn Campbell should be on but is not.

[dfwgator]

I’ve heard of her, Poland has produced a lot of tremendous musicians over the years.

[Fungi]

She’s on....

[jjotto]

Linda Ronstadt #47

[Fungi]

I looked at the entire list and missed it!

[Fungi]

Correction, Ella is on.

[arkfreepdom]

“Hopefully Emmylou Harris made the list. My all time favorite singer. Her and Linda Ronstadt could have been sisters.”

Excellent voice and the two were great together. Parton added to them as well.

[Third Person]

Here’s Roy with Dave Gilmour... fantastic vocal work from Mr. Harper:

Wokeism and slavish obedience to political correctness, not quality, are behind most of the selections.

Indeed...
