I’ll just pick one to complain about, event though there are several complete omission.

Prince Rogers Nelson should easily be top 10. John Lennon was great, but come the eff on.

That's one woke list right there. They probably have mostly the right names. The order is fairly ridiculous.

I didn’t read the article but if this is in order then there’s no need to read anything by rolling stone magazine ever again. Bob Dylan #7... I love Bob Dylan but nope!

Franklin probably shouldn’t be top ten. And even though Michael Jackson was a sick weirdo that little weirdo could really sing about as good as anyone I’ve ever heard.

Rolling Stone is about as relevant as the Rock & Roll HOF.

I did actually LOL when I saw Lou Reed on the list. First thing I thought was "Why don't they throw Bob Dylan's frog croaking in there too." Then saw he was #7. And Freddie Mercury was #18. Good lord. And no Maynard James Keenan or Brandon Boyd. Great stuff. [eyeroll]

Did the just pick names out of a hat? Mercury's and Houston's rankings are a tragedy.

Ask 10 different music critics and you will get 10 different lists. Makes for good beer conversation, nothing more.

If you didn't know Joe Cocker, you might think his name was Joe N-word after reading that list.

That’s the most clickbait list I’ve ever ever see. Thankfully that guy just posted a pic so RS doesn’t get as much traffic.

I really like the movie. I think it is a shame people come away from it thinking that Arthur Lee Allen was the murderer. There's a very small percentage chance that he did the Lake Berryessa killings. No way did any of the others. But I will say that the circumstantial evidence against him is unreal for an innocent at Lake Berryessa.

I thought the zodiac was a horrible crime until I saw Bob Dylan as the seventh greatest singer ever.

I'm not sure if something like this is just "people who sing in a way that appeals to you or sing songs you like" or if it's supposedly a list done with some sort of technical assessment of voice in mind. Or is that a meaningful distinction anyway. If it's truly here are the best voices, not sure how you can include Dylan at all, let alone in the top 10. Unless you go all hoity-toity - the kind of folks who see vomit on a canvas or someone pissing on a religious relic and think it's towering genius or something.
