This isn’t the first time Rolling Stone published a list of the greatest singers the magazine ranked the 100 Greatest Singers back in 2008. Other supposed snubs on the list include Jennifer Hudson, Tony Bennett, Madonna and Justin Bieber. It seems that the most-outraged internet commenters didn’t read that or doesn’t understand that context. As our write-up for the man who ended up at Number 112 notes, “Ozzy Osbourne doesn’t have what most people would call a good voice, but boy does he have a great one.” That could apply to more than a few people here…” Others have rougher, stranger, or more delicate instruments. Sure, many of the people here were born with massive pipes, perfect pitch, and boundless range. Talent is impressive genius is transcendent. “…keep in mind that this is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List. That’s a difference that they called in the third paragraph of the article: In Rolling Stone’s defense, they did say that having a great voice doesn’t mean they’re a great singer. I imagine that after the first two dozen most well-known vocalists, it gets pretty subjective after that and there are just so many good singers globally that have existed in the history of time. I love the music I like but I don’t put much thought into who the best singers in the history of singing are. Rolling Stones 200 Best Singers of All-Time Rankĭoes Celine Dion belong on a list of 200 of the best singers of all-time? I don’t know. Here’s the offending full list including Rosalia, Michael Stipe, Brenda Lee, Debbie Harry, Luther Vandross, Dolly Parton, Thom Yorke, Frank Sinatra, Gladys Knight, Beyonce, and Ozzy Osbourne. In fact that’s how I even knew this list existed - the deluge of social media posts speaking to the absence of the skinny Canadian pop singer behind songs like “ My Heart Will Go On,” “ It’s All Coming Back To Me Now,” and several other big singles was louder than Celine belting out the chorus at her first Las Vegas residency show. Most of that negative emotion seemed to be focused on the exclusion of a really really good singer in Celine Dion.Ĭéline Dion was not included on Rolling Stone’s 200 Greatest Singers of All Time list. All those feelings really came to the fore for Rolling Stone’s The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time list they released on January 1st, 2023. He effusively praised the Stones’ frontman. Speaking to the Coda Collection, Daltrey was asked about some of the other rock bands who rose to prominence around the same time as The Who, such as the Stones and Led Zeppelin. Rolling Stone has been causing a stir with their lists and when there’s any type of ranking coming from a popular music magazine, it’s going to get people angry, bothered, emotional and annoyed – especially when those people are fans of the slighted song, band, TV show, or album. The Who’s Roger Daltrey has scathingly criticised The Rolling Stones, likening their sound to a mediocre pub band. The Who performed their mini rock opera, A Quick One (While He’s Away), as part of The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus concert film, which in itself is the stuff of rock folklore that could.
