- Hoju, on 11/12/2008, -5/+41Freddie Mercury?
- BeShirtHappy, on 11/12/2008, -10/+41I really like Aretha Franklin - and she is definitely the "Queen of Soul"... however, I think Elvis Presley should have this honor.
- astrotrain, on 11/12/2008, -2/+24Rollingstone Magazine now is just in it for the money. So now they need ot pull stories like this out of their behind.
- n3mi5y5, on 11/12/2008, -3/+22This is ridiculous.... Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, or anyone else should be at the top. Franklin has contributed to rock and roll but Seriously. WTF
- viper001, on 11/12/2008, -1/+17If this is true, then Pavarotti is the king of hip hop.
First Madonna gets inducted into the rock hall of fame, now this? I'm not disputing Franklin's groundbreaking talent, but she isn't a rock singer. - inactive, on 11/12/2008, -8/+21One of the most recognizable voices in the Music industry.
- ConsolesSuck, on 11/12/2008, -2/+14WTF is she doing in this list at all, she's "pop", "Soul", "Whatever." There are plenty more names that should be on list besides her, talk about overated!
- vizeroth, on 11/12/2008, -1/+11They obviously need to define their qualification for the "rock era", because in my mind half those people don't even qualify.
On another note: Bob Dylan? WTF? I can respect his song-writing abilities only because other people have done wonderful things with his songs, and he dragged the hippies kicking and screaming to the electric guitar, but as a singer I doubt he would even think he belonged on the list. - freezerburn666, on 11/12/2008, -6/+16i like the part where her name sounds like a peehole
- gnotDigger, on 11/12/2008, -4/+13W.T.F.!?!?!
- blarch, on 11/12/2008, -2/+11i don't usually bury articles...
- eloestea, on 11/12/2008, -0/+8***** crazy!!, Zep wouldnt have been as good without Plants voice.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooo - Nboy514, on 11/12/2008, -3/+11There is no god
- AdeleMor, on 11/12/2008, -15/+23Robert Plant is #15? He can't sing! I mean, I like Led Zep as much as the next girl, but come on!
- JerichoSam, on 11/12/2008, -2/+10I agree!
- Cdog923, on 11/12/2008, -4/+11Freddie Mercury > Aretha Franklin
- bundwallah, on 11/12/2008, -1/+8Wow. This is up there with Jethro Tull beating Metallica for the best Metal Album Grammy. Sure, she has a great voice. But she's not a rock act. Best vocalists in Rock? I'm looking towards guys like Freddie Mercury, Jim Morrison, Lennon, Jagger, Plant, Tina Turner, Vince Neil. (OK I'm kidding on that last one.) :)
- ScottMcIntyre, on 11/12/2008, -9/+16Much R-E-S-P-E-C-T to Ms Franklin ;-)
- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -0/+6On no level does Aretha Franklin have anything to do with being the tops of a rock list, even for voices. She has obviously made incredibly important contributions to music and rock in specific, but on no level is she even remotely the best voice in rock history.
This whole list is retarded. - inactive, on 11/12/2008, -1/+6i don't give a *****, rock is not soul, they probably did this for the lulz
- 1longtime, on 11/12/2008, -3/+7You're quoting Chuck D as a source of information. Think about that.
- akchrs, on 11/12/2008, -8/+12Layne Staley was.
- GawtMilk, on 11/12/2008, -0/+4I'd have to disagree with youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
- TheAcidQueen, on 11/12/2008, -0/+4"Besides Franklin, the only other living people in the top 10 were Bob Dylan at No. 7 and Stevie Wonder at No. 9. Marvin Gaye was No. 6, Otis Redding No. 8, and James Brown No. 10."
James Brown is dead D: - inactive, on 11/12/2008, -0/+4The Rock and Roll era was over by the time Mercury released his first album.
- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -0/+4Yes.
That's the beginning of the rock era. Mercury didn't do rock n'roll, he did rock.
Rock n'roll: Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee lewis, early Beatles.
Rock: Queen, Led Zep, late Beatles (like "And you bird can sing"). - mikbunn, on 11/12/2008, -0/+4His vocal range is enormous. Don't try to say the man can't sing. I'm pretty sure you're only being dugg up because you're a chick who likes Zeppelin.
- Smurph0404, on 11/12/2008, -2/+6She's good but this should be reserved for a rock and roll artist, not a soul artist.
- eekthekat, on 11/12/2008, -2/+5Um, no.
- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3Tay Zonday would like to have a word with you.
- Taintsmasher, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3I hate "best ______ of _______" lists, because number one always has to be some ***** obligatory nod to someone who's completely irrelevant.
I also hate hearing what talentless pop stars think about the ***** who made the list. Hey, if you can't think of a joke, just recite the lyrics to a song in your normal speaking voice. It'll be HILARIOUS!
Die. - thehero, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3Plant can sing if he actually tries. Some live recordings are great. Others recordings sound like he didn't even try.
- pintomp3, on 11/12/2008, -0/+3or it means Elvis profited from the music of a people who weren't allowed to compete on equal footing because of segregation and jim crow and never even acknowledged their influence.
- madstringer, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2First of all, the list by Rolling Stone was the "The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time", not "100 Greatest Rock n' Roll singers". 2nd of all, they didn't even have Frank Sinatra in the list. I have no respect for Rolling Stone. How do you make a list of the top 100 singers from ALL genres, and not have him in it????? WTF?!?! Who do they get to vote on these things? Reading this list almost made me go Van Gogh on myself!!
- ConsolesSuck, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2Exactly!
- liljay2k, on 11/12/2008, -2/+4Rick Astley?
- pintomp3, on 11/12/2008, -1/+3you say that is if it's bad thing. i guess you can't tell the difference between chuck d and vanilla ice.
- ccourt23, on 11/12/2008, -0/+2Someone missed the memo
- PrincesChik, on 11/12/2008, -1/+3What? In 1973?
- 1longtime, on 11/12/2008, -1/+3"Robert Plant can't sing"
That will keep me laughing all day! - sprNmgcHlmt, on 11/12/2008, -5/+7that's tough to dispute.
- lokee73, on 11/12/2008, -1/+3Oh hell yes!
I've always thought he had the quintessential rock voice.
No one ever could or ever will sing ilke Freddie. - Benjamino1986, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1where is freddie mercury? hes not even in the top 10! yet on a public website, a poll was done by the public and 33% voted Freddie number 1, 25% made Elvis, clearly Rolling Stone ignore public opinion and make their own stuff up
- nametag, on 11/12/2008, -0/+1Crazy Little Thing Called Love
- eloestea, on 11/12/2008, -0/+1HA ha ha, those who dugg me down, I feel sorry for your ears. yall are obviously CLUELESS, no soul having peckerwoods.
- evets76, on 11/12/2008, -1/+2Rollingstone creates controversy to get people talking and for ratings. They did the same thing with the "Top 100 Gutarists of all time" and the put Kurt Cobain near the top along with other overrated players. Duane Allman and #2 . . . .sure . . .http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/593755 ...
- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -1/+2Honestly. Aretha sucks.
- akchrs, on 11/12/2008, -1/+2The greatest.
