	I was thinking Bob Dylan was more of a "croaker" than a "singer". But whatever; I love 'em anyway.

	wurmskidoodle:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:00 GMT	12 points
	Well, maybe Bob Dylan sounds a lot like me. You know, how come nobody ever asked Bob Dylan, why you sound so much like Dewey Cox?

	Limelight05:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:02 GMT	8 points
	Dickey Betts was the lead singer on Ramblin Man, not Gregg Allman

	Shouldn't Everly work for the Everly Brothers? Every other answer is just a single name, after all, and both their names are Everly.

	I thought the "9 to 5" song was the one by Sheena Easton, but apparently not... Shame, I love that song lol

	JayHankEdLyon:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:10 GMT	103 points
	The problem with this list is that it seems to focus on things beyond raw singing talent. While Aretha's queenship is undisputed, how is Freddie Mercury, a guy who can sing the piano, lower on the list than Bob Dylan? I mean, lord, the first thirty seconds of Don't Stop Me Now shows more vocal talent than the whole of Dylan's career.

	Cool Quiz!! I think the person that made this game has put a lot of effort in to this!! Well done!!

	C'mon...no Geddy Lee? What's wrong here?

	HalfWelsh:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:11 GMT	10 points
	How is Dame Shirley Bassey not on this list??

	Eddie Vedder gets no respect because of how awful all the imitators who followed (the Scott Stapps and Chad Kroegers of the world) are...but that shouldn't detract from how awesome he is.

	desafinado440:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:16 GMT	2 points
	there's no way that lou reed is better than frankie valli

	trivial:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:20 GMT	10 points
	Reder: Patsy Cline is on the list.

	There's no way Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera are better than Annie Lenox, or the not-even-mentioned Frank Sinatra or Carlos Santana

	Journey2688:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	7 points
	He is 76? I know hes not the greatest but hes better than 76!

	SkippySuperfly:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	89 points
	Ok. I can't be the only person who tried Mr. T for "I Pity the Fool".

	Freddie:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:36 GMT	3 points
	Sneaking in at forty seven is the great George Jones. Based on singing talent alone, he deserves to be in the top ten. Take a listen to 'The Door' and you'll soon see why. Nice to see Rolling Stone giving a nod to the great country legends, pleasantly surprised to see the likes of Haggard, Nelson, Parton, Cline and of course Cash.

	youngyos:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:46 GMT	2 points
	no love for toots?

	DRWings:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:46 GMT	15 points
	@Reder- I agree with this quiz proving Rolling Stone's irrelevance. Looks like these comments will be filled with complaints of omissions. And no offense to the King, but he had the vocal range of '68 Hemi Cuda.

	autigers:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:49 GMT	15 points
	no Bing Crosby or Nat King Cole?

	sub:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:50 GMT	39 points
	To me, Mercury is a lot higher than #18 - his musical ability is unrivaled

	wallyballz:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:53 GMT	33 points
	Rolling Stone is a music magazine, yet every list they release sucks. I am sorry but Steve Perry and Freddy Mercury are far better singers than most of those ahead of them to name a few. They also claimed Cobain to be #12 guitarist ever but Slash wasnt even in the top 100.

	The_Goat:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:53 GMT	28 points
	Leonard Cohen anyone? I mean, he's the one who originally sang 'Hallelujah'.

	Guinevere:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 20:01 GMT	11 points
	Not loving this list; it's 3/4 men, which seems off to me, and the inclusion of Dylan (quite high) and Young indicate that the criteria is different from what most people would consider to be the criteria for good singing. (I love them both, and generally prefer "interesting" voices to smooth, technically perfect ones, but I just wonder if some of these people are being included for their songwriting, or showmanship, or something else that isn't really purely about singing.)

	I quit after getting 30. It's not a legitimate quiz if Sinatra isn't on it.

The fact that Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio aren't here is a travesty
