| Rolling Stone's list are all vanilla. They are examples of political correctness. Consider, 23/50 are African American, and 10/50 are women. Not that there aren't some outstanding vocalists in the mix, but it is painfully obvious that it was done to fill a quota. Also, they lean very heavily towards blues, folk and soul music, and almost entirely overlook rock music.
Musicians I would put on this list: Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Thom Yorke (maybe), Ann Wilson (Heart), Steven Tyler, others |
