No way Bob Dylan is in the top 1,000 singers ever and he is in their top 10.

John Lennon 23 spots ahead of Janis Joplin!?

Thom Yorke is a better singer then Wilson Pickett!!?

Robert Plant at 15 ahead of Jackie Wilson and Van Morrison!!!?

Willie Nelson, BB King, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Kurt Kobain, Prince, Bob Marley and Don Henley aren't even good singers. They had distinctive sounds and made great music (most of them) but are not recognized for their vocals.

This is a list of revered singers and singers from revered bands.

This list was yet another predictable and boring list from Rolling Stone. I'm sure most of us could've easily guessed with 99% accuracy what names RS would pick.

Funny how all the greatest singers of all time just happened to have cropped up in the past 50 years and exclusively in english speaking countries.

Not a bad list, in my opinion. Lists are cool (before ordered), but I will admit it is one of the better lists from Rolling Stone.

It doesn't contain everyone deserving but I think Aretha Franklin was a decent choice. You have to remember the emotion and feeling that is emitted from their songs. But that differs between all people.

Rolling Stone is still a sellout but still an ok list.

I can't see many truckers blasting Mr. Bungle or Fantomas down the road, but that's just me.

And somehow, Axl Rose made the cut. Which is ridiculous.

To mention one of the most famous operatic singers of our time: Luciano Pavarotti didn't make their list.

Did any opera singers make the list? Or jazz singers for that matter?

No, because all the greatest singers of all time are also from pop, rock, or R&B obv.

Obviously. And all of them are English-language singers too of course.
