I looked it up. It seems to have a baseline that can be thought of as groups of three if you want it to be, but the sheet music is in 4/4 time.

Take Five and Living in the Past are an unusual 5/4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Etta James should be way higher. Janis too IMO. I didn’t see Buddy Guy, Son House, Shannon Hoon, Maynard James Keenan, Bradley Nowell..... And Bono is a piece of *****. He is as miscast in this list as Edge was in It Might Get Loud(Edge can’t hang with Jimmy Page and Jack White).

Bono is one of many rock musicians who literally has amassed a fortune for his ability to sing, despite not being able to sing! I think they create these lists deliberately to outrage people so everyone talks about it and gives the publication some free promotion. Who really cares what "Rolling Stone" thinks about anything? The mainstream music media in America is hopelessly clueless anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatloaf had a great voice and could actually sing, as compared to many on this list! There was a time around 1976 or 1977 I guess when he and his "Bat Out of Hell" album ruled the world!

row_33 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Ian Gillan make it? When he joined Sabbath he couldn’t get the lyrics down pat so they put cue cards on the stage for a prompt but the dry ice and smoke blocked them from his line of vision Edited October 22, 2019 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Saw title and said to myself "if Aretha isn't #1 this list is complete BS." Went straight to #1 and there she was. While I disagree with much on the list, at least they got that right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 No Bon Scott? He had one of the most unique voices ever and also one of the top front men ever. Frank Sinatra is the greatest voice ever and where is he ranked on this stupid list? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I would put Tina Turner pretty high on my list... and if we are not sticking strictly to rock'roll George Jones.

Keith is backup on about 10 of the top 100 singles of the rock era not a fan of Tina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
