Pretty good list.

I was happy that Jeff Buckley was on there and got a nice writeup from Chris Cornell.

I've already commented on that list in this thread.

No Sinatra? No Nat King Cole? Really? It's one of the better lists that RS has crapped out, but that's not saying a lot.

Agreed TopperHarley, How dare they not include singers like Sammy Davis Jr.

I have always considered Kurt Cobain (who is in the list) a great musician/songwriter but one terrible singer....well maybe not terrible but he was certanly no Sammy Davis.

...This isnt a good list.

...This isnt a good list.

I ask why you think so.

[Cpt. Overkill]

I ask why you think so.

Kurt Cobain is higher than a lot of singers that are way better than him, hell, he doesnt even belong on the list.

Ill look at it again and list. Also, Aguilera doesnt even belong on that list.

Jim Morrison
Roger Daltrey
Axl Rose
Thom Yorke
Gregg Allman
Steve Perry
Stevie Nicks
Steven Tyler

Just a quick list of people that I scrolled through in about 1 minute.

I can see why people would Kurt Cobain is to high but he had a very large impact on many of todays singers.

I love Nirvana and am only marginally into Tool, but come on. Kurt Cobain is on the list and Maynard James Keenan isn't? This list seems more like verbal fellatio for old/respected artists than serious journalism.

Does that make him a great singer? No. It makes him influential.
